Description
This infographic highlights that auditory enrichment reduces stress in kennelled dogs. How the effect of reduced stress is observed, including behaviors and patterns indicative of stress, is included. Additionally, the types of auditory enrichment that are most effective as well as how to implement the auditory enrichment are explained. This implementation can be used in a shelter setting as well as any situation where dogs are confined and/or stressed.
