Learn with The Shelter Playgroup Alliance
The mission of the Shelter Playgroup Alliance (SPA) is to provide animal welfare organizations with education, tailorable guidelines, and support materials for developing and implementing comprehensive enrichment programs. These programs focus on healthy inter-dog interactions, including playgroups, that align to the Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive ethical standard (LIMA). LIMA-based playgroups are devoted to providing dogs with opportunities to consent, physical and mental safety, and avoid the use of aversives.
Virtual Puppy Raising Summit on November 11-13, 2022
This Summit goes beyond puppies. The knowledge we gained was applicable to our Malamutes in rescue. Learn about training techniques and behavior. We highly recommend this summit and plan to attend it again in 2022. There is also a Facebook support group.
Trish McMillan's Shelter Dog Behavior Mentorship
Virtual training. This intensive course covers all aspects of shelter behavior, from intake to post-adoption support. CHAAMP continues to learn to better support our rescue. Best of all, we are able to join a Facebook community and keep in touch with everyone who has taken this course.
