Webinar Link
Dogs of all ages need mental stimulation to feel their best, and senior dogs are no exception! Age appropriate activities such as puzzle toys, scent games, and teaching gentle tricks can keep your grey-muzzled friend happy, healthy, and thriving in their golden years. Join us for this free webinar as Sydney Queen, Certified Professional Dog Trainer, discusses enrichment and training modifications and alternatives for senior dogs.
Sydney began her career in animal welfare at a local shelter in 2014 in Adoptions, Operations and Behavior, later joining the ASPCA's Behavioral Sciences Team in 2019. She has her master's in International Animal Welfare, Ethics, and Law as well as her Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT) certification. Through her work in shelters she quickly became fascinated with animal behavior and finding effective ways to maintain and/or improve an animal's mental wellbeing through behavior modification and enrichment in the often stressful shelter environment. She is also passionate about integrative care and working with medical challenges or special needs to ensure an animal's behavioral wellbeing is balanced alongside medical wellbeing. Sydney also enjoys helping pet guardians of both dogs and horses outside of the shelter world through her own behavior consulting and training business, Sympatico Animal Behavior, LLC. Much of her work involves providing behavior modification, enrichment, and creative problem solving for dogs of all backgrounds and ages. Sydney enjoys strengthening the human-animal bond by helping pet guardians to develop a more thorough understanding of their animal's behavior and providing them with practical solutions to modify problem behaviors and meet their pet's ever-changing needs.
