She assembled a small team and a plan to support Misty. Lindsay\u2019s goal was to teach Misty to willingly accept handling so that the tether could be removed and she could be leashed safely to walk outdoors. Lindsay wanted to accomplish all of this in less than 48 hours!<\/p>\n<p>The first step was to establish Misty\u2019s kennel as a safe, comfortable space where only pleasant experiences would occur. Lindsay\u2019s team placed high-value, mini meals in Misty\u2019s kennel throughout the first day. Lindsay looked for overt changes in behavior\u2014tail wagging, eating, and approaching the front of the kennel\u2014as indicators before she attempted interaction beyond meal delivery. Within 24 hours, Misty readily approached the kennel front, wagged her tail, wiggled her body, and licked her lips when she spotted one of her \u201cfriends\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The next step was to begin a training conversation. Lindsay used a clicker and treats to teach Misty to touch her nose to Lindsay\u2019s hand, a building block for training and tactile interaction that Misty mastered quickly. Within 48 hours, Misty accepted the removal of the tether and walked on a leash into the sunshine, well on her way on a successful journey toward adoption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReinforcement history develops swiftly into a relationship and opens the door to a full training conversation. It\u2019s fundamental to my behavior work in shelters and with private clients,\u201d says Lindsay.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e7470-e14 m5ri-0 m5ri-1 m5ri-2\"><div class=\"x-container max width e7470-e15 m5ri-5 m5ri-a m5ri-b\"><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1 e7470-e16 m5ri-e\"><span class=\"x-image e7470-e17 m5ri-o m5ri-p\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/karenpryoracademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/splintered-joy-blog-quotations.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"318\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-container max width e7470-e18 m5ri-5 m5ri-6 m5ri-c\"><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1 e7470-e19 m5ri-e m5ri-g\"><blockquote  class=\"x-blockquote center-text\" style=\"font-family: open sans;
