In this thought provoking video, Robert Cabral speaks at a Symposium at UCLA, giving a clear and insightful explanation of Kennel Syndrome, Barrier Aggression, and the simple but important positive training he is implementing via Bound Angels to help shelters help the dogs in their care, enabling them to find homes when they might otherwise fail in the shelter system.

Robert
Cabral, Founder and Executive Director of Bound Angels, is an authority
on canine behavior and shelter dogs. His first hand
knowledge of shelter behavior, aggression, and dog training is a
lifesaver to
dogs that have no one to speak for them - Robert speaks for them,
sometimes
eloquently, oftentimes candidly - but always honestly and always with
the
intent to make the world a better place for them. Bound Angels helps
animal
shelters save more lives through information and knowledge.
A dog in a shelter is almost never the dog it would be in
a home, and this is certainly true of Cairns. Kennel Syndrome is a
real and difficult barrier for shelter dogs to overcome. When a Cairn
is rescued by Col. Potter, the two week minimum period of evaluation is
essential to give the dog time to feel safe in the home environment so
they can show their true personalities.
The Various Groups of Dogs Bound Angels
University Session 1 - Lecture #2
This
video lecture by Robert Cabral discuss the various groups of dogs, their
inherent drives, and what these mean in their interactions with humans, and the
specific training implications of these characteristics. At the
8:11 minute mark, he gives an excellent explanation of the Terrier drive.
Learning to identify and understand dogs’ drives
better is an important tool to developing a balanced training approach, focused
on creating happier dogs that don't end up being killed in our nation's
shelters.This is part of the Bound
Angels University Program that helps shelters save more lives by better
understanding dogs.

Bound Angels
University
The classes will be held at
the West LA LAAS Shelter located at 11361
West Pico Blvd in West LA, CA. There will be a full three days of training including behavior theory, shelter
dog handling, understanding drives, and working with shelter dogs in a variety
of situations including playgroups. All participants will be employees of
animal control agencies, humane societies and SPCA's.
Day 1: Canine Behavior Theory:During the theory portion of the training students /
participants are taught (in classroom format) the various breeds, drives,
temperaments, situations, benefits, and pitfalls of working with shelter dogs. Understanding the basics of the canine
personality / drive and how to work with it in the often-times stressful
shelter environment.
Day 2: Understanding and
Working with Canine Behavior:During the behavior training we focus on understanding a
dog’s behavior in the shelter environment and how it may be different from the
dog’s true personality. This is a
hands-on training day handling dogs, working dogs and learning to assess the
behavior of the dogs students work with. How can we use the behaviors we see, how can
we modify the behaviors through engagement and training to help save more
lives? Reading the behavior of dogs with
people, other dogs, around toys and distractions is covered as well as
understanding what potential homes and people might be best suited for each
individual dog. On day 2 we also cover
the application of the theory lessons learned
on Day One.
Day 3: Playgroups:Playgroup training brings all the pieces together. Once
students learn the basics of canine behavior theory and application, we now
teach students the importance of the canine pack drive. Playgroups for dogs have proven to increase
adoptions, increase the overall health and well-being of dogs, and increase the
public’s opinion of shelters.
