Description
So, Tell Me About Yourself . . .
With each animal that comes into our life, whether briefly or for much longer, we set off on a journey of discovery. “Who are you?” we wonder. We really want to know, and we need to know. Depending on our role in that animal’s life, what we will discover about them will shape all that we do with and for them.
Consider the many different reasons we need to know, “Who are you?”
- How do you perceive the world so I can understand how experiences may affect you?
- What delights you, and what worries, frightens or irritates you?
- How can I make your life as comfortable and stress-free as possible?
- How best can I support you?
- How can I help you be successful?
- How can I help relieve your distress or discomfort?
Key Concepts:
- Beyond Labels: When we remember that the S in dogS stands for statistics, we’re already moving away from stereotypes or assumptions about breeds or species. “Who are you?” keeps us squarely focused instead on the individual.
- Sensory Sensitivities: Welfare concerns guide us to trying to understand how this specific animal responds to sensory input (e.g., visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory) When we understand how they process their environment, we are able to help create environments and activities that are enjoyable and supportive, and work to minimize unpleasant situations.
- Behavioral Traits: This question really zeros in on recognizing unique sensitivities, deficits, and personality traits in each animal. Using the CARAT framework, we can begin to understand the individual’s temperament.
