This session focused on practical, welfare-driven strategies for understanding and supporting high-arousal dogs in shelter environments. Laurie and guest speaker Aditi (Director of Behavior & Training at Gigi’s Shelter for Dogs) explored how stress, adolescent development, and limited early socialization contribute to heightened arousal, and what shelter teams can do to help these dogs succeed.
