Accountability
• Every animal comes with their own ‘bank’ account
• We cannot change an animal’s past but we can shape his/her future if we make wise investments whilst he/she is in our care
• A well managed account helps to provide stability and security in an ever-changing world
![Page 3: ICAWC 2015 - Sarah Fisher - Bank On It](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061307/58ad92681a28ab662a8b6625/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Opening balance
• Genetics, physical health and early experiences (or lack of them) form the basis of that account
• Some animals may have good investments in place
• Others may have few reserves on which to draw

Healthy account• Animal has natural confidence
• Is physically sound
• Early ‘managers’ took time to make regular deposits in the animals account
• Other ‘advisors’ were mindful of the impact of their interactions
• Guardians invested in ongoing rewarding education and care

Overdraft or empty account
• Think about animals that might be labelled as ‘red zone’ animals
• Their bank account may be desperately overdrawn
• Many frequent deposits must be made if there is any hope of turning this deficit around
![Page 8: ICAWC 2015 - Sarah Fisher - Bank On It](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061307/58ad92681a28ab662a8b6625/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Deposits• Deposits in an animal’s account are made
from positive experiences
• A yummy treat or an appropriate game
• Verbal praise
• Gentle handling
• Physical, mental and emotional wellbeing
• Rewarding education and positive interactions

Withdrawals
• Withdrawals are made from negative experiences
• Forceful handling
• Poor health such as hip dysplasia
• Tension in the body that creates touch sensitivity
• Frustration and stress
• Inappropriate husbandry
![Page 13: ICAWC 2015 - Sarah Fisher - Bank On It](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061307/58ad92681a28ab662a8b6625/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Current accounts
• Every time we interact with an animal there is potential for a deposit or withdrawal to be made
• We may not know much about the banking history of the animal in our care
• Reading the ‘balance sheet’ can give us valuable insights into existing reserves

Interest
• Every deposit or withdrawal has the ability to gain interest
• Interest can be a bonus that will increase the overall value of deposits made
• Interest can also be applied to any on-going withdrawals that occur
• The greater the combined value of deposits or withdrawals, the greater the interest accrued
![Page 28: ICAWC 2015 - Sarah Fisher - Bank On It](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061307/58ad92681a28ab662a8b6625/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Considerations
• Are human led activities an opportunity for multiple deposits to be made?
• Is the dog relaxed enough when on a walk to top up his/her own account by taking in all the wonderful sights and smells in the big wide world?
• Does the cat truly enjoy the games we encourage him/her to play?
![Page 29: ICAWC 2015 - Sarah Fisher - Bank On It](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061307/58ad92681a28ab662a8b6625/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Transfers and security codes
• Making deposits in one environment doesn’t mean they can be automatically accessed in another
• You may need to spend time helping the animal remember his/her security code or build his/her trust to help him/her feel safe enough to share his/her savings with you
![Page 32: ICAWC 2015 - Sarah Fisher - Bank On It](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061307/58ad92681a28ab662a8b6625/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Redress the balance
• Prepare for health checks by making multiple deposits before and after the event
• Do your best to use equipment that improves rather than restricts natural movement
• Try stroking the lead to reduce tension on the line and change habitual patterns of bracing
• Use Tellington TTouch body work to calm and relax the animal

Super savings
• Clean fresh water available for animals when any learning is taking place
• Opportunities for animals to use their nose
• Adapting the environment to suit the animal as best you can
• Slow, calm movements around kennel/cattery
• Mindful contact that helps develop trust

Account reviews
• Avoid rushing when making deposits
• The transaction may go astray
• Remember to check the balance sheet from time to time
• Give the animal plenty of breaks so he/she can process the payments too
![Page 47: ICAWC 2015 - Sarah Fisher - Bank On It](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061307/58ad92681a28ab662a8b6625/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Build the Trust
• Sustainable financial growth takes time
• Achievable targets, consistency and patience are the keys
• An accumulation of deposits helps to build a reliable Trust Fund
• This provides security for the animal where ever he/she goes

Positive change
• Make a little ‘banking’ book for the animals in your care
• Create deposit slips to encourage your supporters to ‘bank’ with you
• Build slowly and remember to take care of the pennies
• The pounds will take care of themselves
