This scenario is about a dog in a shelter that barks crazy when people walk by especially when they are walking noisy dog past him. -Move the dog to a kennel where volunteers won’t have to pass by with other dogs or the
volunteers should use an alternative route to avoid passing by him.
-Following a positive reinforcement regime, a trainer or volunteer can help the dog by
desensitizing him to the loud noise.
-a shelter is a stressful place for any animal to be in, and if volunteers can help reduce
the stress within the kennels it will also help the dog. We can reduce stress by placing
volunteers inside the kennels and have them playing and working with these dogs to
keep them occupied and stimulated while other volunteers go and walk with a few of the
dogs, and so a rotation can be done to reduce the total amount of excitement and barking
and in that helping not only th stressed dog, but the rest as well. This will take a lot of
time, patience and practice to get it working.
-the other option is to place the stressed dog in a foster home with calm/no dogs and
adult/no kids, where they can separately work with him in building confidence and slowly
working on his stress levels.
