RESOURCE GUARDING
RECOGNIZING THE DEGREE, SETTING THE BEHAVIOR MOD PROTOCOLS
Pia Silvani, Vice President, Training and Behavior
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2013

We all use the term “resource guarding” to describe that dog who won’t let anyone near the bowl when he’s eating or the one who isn’t going to give up that big rawhide under any circumstances. In reality “resource guarding,” while not all that uncommon, can be a more far-reaching and complicated behavior. Thankfully, in the majority of cases it can be just about eradicated or successfully managed.
Pia Silvani’s presentation will use video and hands-on demonstration to increase both your understanding and ability to recognize the severity of the behavior in an individual dog and design the individualized protocols to modify the behavior. In addition to extensive work with the dogs in our shelters, Pia has worked with hundreds of private clients. She is also at the helm of St. Hubert’s new Mutts On The Mend program which shares the expertise of our Training and Behavior Center with our animal welfare colleagues at no charge.
Please join us for this great opportunity to learn more about increasing your abilities to assist the dogs who rely on you in becoming great candidates for adoption!

Every dog owner wants their best friend to play well with others. The sight of a dog frolicking happily in the dog-park, playfully practicing doggie social skills makes a dog lover smile. But we all know things can change in a moment without warning. But… what if there WAS a warning and you missed it?
This workshop is designed to help you identify safe situations and learn how to get your dog out of jam before the fur flies. Come hear Sue Sternberg and get the tools to navigate dog park experiences with safety and confidence.

SHELTER ENRICHMENT ON A DIME
EASY, FUN, CHEAP WAYS TO KEEP YOUR CHARGES CHALLENGED AND CHEERFUL
TUESDAY, JANUARY 29
10 a.m.—12 noon
ST. HUBERT’S COMMUNITY ROOM 575 Woodland Avenue, Madison, NJ
IN KEEPING WITH THE CHEAP THEME—ONLY $5 TO REGISTER!
We all know that good food, medical care and safe, clean housing are essential for the animals in our care. We also know that it’s important to keep our charges physically and mentally healthy and active. All of us are working with limited time and resources, making good quality enrichment a real challenge.
Shelter Manager Becky Burton will show you a variety of ways in which you can provide beneficial activity, brain exercise and FUN for dogs, cats and small caged pets on the cheap. Demos and hands on activity will get you started—you’ll find that “dollar store” can be one of your greatest resources. Save time by asking volunteers and youth groups to help you gather and prepare items using simple household goods that will not only delight your animals but will assist you in engaging the community.
In addition to managing St. Hubert’s Madison animal shelter, Becky has deployed several times to assist both the ASPCA ® and HSUS at emergency sheltering operations around the country. Those experiences, coupled with research, sharing with colleagues, and her own creativity provide the ability to achieve ongoing enrichment that anyone can duplicate at little or no expense .
