Giving Shelter Dogs A Richer Life!

The Dogevity Show: Tales & Tails From the Pack

Adoption can be a scary thing for a dog. A lot of dogs in shelters come from abusive situations. And the shelter experience itself can be traumatic. So how can this process become less frightening, even enjoyable for the dog? How can the dog and their adoptive family experience a greater chance for a happy, successful relationship?
Mara Velez has plenty to say on this topic. As a certified professional dog trainer and the creator of Shelter Dog Play, Mara specializes in shelter behavior and enrichment programs.
She has a deep commitment to teaching shelter operators and volunteers how to give the dogs in their care kind, positive behavior reinforcement training.
The happy result? These needy dogs get adopted more readily and at a higher rate.
Mara’s program has helped shelters, their volunteers, the dogs they care for and the families that adopt them, enjoy some inspiring, heartwarming results.
As Wendy’s guest on today’s episode of The Dogevity™️ Show, she shares some fascinating insights and inspiring stories. She also gives hope that dogs in shelters can have a brighter future.
This promises to be a conversation you don’t want to miss.
