Lee County Domestic Animal Services will host a video lecture for dog and cat owners by renowned certified animal behavior consultant Kelley Bollen. As a shelter behavior specialist, Bollen consults with animal shelters across the country in the design and implementation of comprehensive behavior programs to address the behavioral health of the shelter animals during their stay.
Bollen offers many educational seminars and workshops that address the behavioral care of shelter animals, including her two-day “Shelter Behavior Seminar,” which covers all aspects of shelter behavioral care. She is a nationally recognized speaker at animal welfare conferences.
Behavior problems are the No. 1 reason for owner relinquishment to shelters. Many of the problematic behaviors that pet owners struggle with are normal cat or dog behaviors that are misunderstood. These videos will discuss the most common problematic behaviors in pets and provide owners with ways to resolve them.
The sessions will be held at the following dates and times:
- Friday, Aug. 30 − 10 a.m. for dog owners; 11 a.m. for cat owners.
- Saturday, Aug. 31 − 10 a.m. for dog owners; 11 a.m. for cat owners.
All sessions are free to the public, and those attending will receive a goodie bag for their pet.
