Resilience Framework for Shelter Dogs In this episode we are joined by Bobbie Bhambree (CDBC, CPDT-KA) and Ferdie Yau (MA, CPDT-KA) to discuss resilience in shelter dogs and more specifically how we can use the resilience framework to support rescue dogs. The Resilience framework is an amazing creation from Bobbie and Dr Kathy Murphy, that can be used to take a holistic approach to supporting mental and physical wellbeing. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from stressful events and supports dogs in a stressful experience and environments, so we know this is super important when were working in a shelter environment! We want to help our dogs to do as well as possible in our space so that we can support their adoption as quickly as possible.
