Environments and Shape of Enrichment are proud to present the seventh Training
and Enrichment Workshop for Zoo and Aquarium Animals. The Workshop returns to its original host
institution, Moody Gardens ,
which thanks to Hurricane Ike, is newly renovated and offers exciting
opportunities for participants. This
unique five-day Workshop is designed for keepers, aquarists, managers,
supervisors, curators, and veterinarians working with all species of animals
held in zoos, aquariums, rescue centers, and sanctuaries. The Workshop will present an array of topics
related to the behavioral management approach to caring for captive animals,
with a focus on environmental enrichment, positive reinforcement training, and
the problem-solving process.
Workshop format
includes lecture, discussion, small group projects, demonstrations, and
hands-on training and enrichment opportunities with Moody Garden ’s
diverse collection. Skills taught are
directly related to enhancing staff’s ability to manage animal behavior,
improve animal welfare, and provide optimal care for captive animals. The Workshop format is designed to maximize

problems, and objectives. Be prepared to
interact, share, and participate to make the experience as useful and relevant
