Our Mission

We are a non-profit organization on a mission to get shelter dogs adopted and keep dogs with families together. We aim to remove financial barriers for behavior support and training programs for individuals living with animals or organizations overseeing the care of animals that require these programs with free or specially reduced prices. 

Donations and profits from the CAAWT educational programs continue to fund these programs.

Educational Programs

With Sean and Massa's educational background in behavior analysis and instructional design, they teach various topics related to the knowledge, skills, and training techniques needed to solve behavioral challenges with animal companions and achieve meaningful goals.

Their teaching material covers Behavior Analysis, Constructional Approach, CAAWT Assessment Method, Constructional Affection, Constructional Aggression Treatment (CAT), and Constructional Consulting. 

Join Sean and Maasa to learn the knowledge and skills you need, and let's grow together!

Success Stories

Enjoy the impact of the behavior support and training programs we have provided to shelter dogs! They transform from being hyperactive and uncontrollable to being calm, sweet, and affectionate, which we all dream of. These are success stories of them learning the behaviors to get adopted and stay adopted.
Sean and Maasa founded the Constructional Approach to Animal Welfare and Training (CAAWT) in 2021.

With their educational background in behavior analysis and their passion, their lifelong goal is "getting shelter dogs adopted and keeping dogs and families together."
