Shelter dog behavior: what are they doing when nobody’s looking?

My Session Status

1:00 PM, martes 19 mar 2024 (1 hour)
Where:
Crowne Plaza Warwick - Track B - Patriots
Have you ever been curious about what dogs do in the shelter when we’re not watching? How much are they sleeping, drinking, scratching, or even licking? We were too, so we put activity and health trackers (think Fit Bit for dogs) on thousands of shelter dogs to find out (and collected DNA samples too!). In this session, we’ll provide insights from thousands of data points collected. We’ll share how shelter dog behavior differs from in-foster behavior and even in-home behavior, along with case studies from several participating shelters on how they used the activity monitors’ data to guide program implementation.
