SUMMARY:Online Course - Starts 3/24/26 - Critical Applications: Ethical Approaches to Behavior Interventions  - IAABC (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in developing your skills and strengthening your knowledge on how to best handle and interact with animals while focusing on their welfare and well-being? \nIn this 8-week course\, we will take a deep dive into the uses and applications of critical analysis when handling behavior cases. We will discuss the critical questions that allow us to evaluate our own choice of methods and inform us on how we can best approach each case from a competent\, skilled and humane perspective. And\, importantly\, we will explore whether these methods are the most humane options available to help the individual animal learners live their best lives. \nWhat to expect from this course: \n\nImmersion into developing critical thinking skills and analysis when working maladaptive behavior cases.\nCoverage of best practices to address individual cases using a systematic and informed approach.\nExplanations of more than just how something works but why it works to best navigate the challenging space of current training methods.\nConsideration of the ethical components behind working with nonhuman animal learners.\n\nIs this course for you? \nThe course is not species-specific\, so anyone working with any companion animal species can join. \nA basic understanding of learning science is recommended but not required. \nThough the focus is on behavior interventions\, industry professionals of all experience levels will be able to gain a deeper understanding of humane practices by participating in the course. \n** IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ONLINE WEEKLY MEETINGS ** \nMeetings are a safe space to ask questions\, share your experiences\, and learn from peers. They are not recorded.\nMeetings take place on Tuesdays at 5:00pm EDT\, beginning March 31st.\nMeetings are 1 hour in duration.\nMeetings begin 1 week after course opens.\nThere are 8 meetings for this course. \nDuration: 8 weeks \nInstructor: Dr. Erin Jones MSc\, PhD\, PgDip\, CPDT-KA\, ADT\, CDBC \nWEBSITE LINK: https://iaabcfoundation.org/courses/critical-applications/

SUMMARY:Online Conference - 3/24/26 to 3/26/26 - My Dog Is My Home Conference 2026 - My Dog Is My Home
DESCRIPTION:When a person loses their home\, they experience trauma and grief. Their pet may be their sole source of love and support. \nFor a person experiencing homelessness\, losing their pet can make one of the most difficult times in their life even more painful. Yet\, with few emergency facilities offering pet-inclusive housing\, it’s a decision so many people feel forced to make. We know pet-inclusive solutions to homelessness are not only possible\, they already exist. \nSince 2021\, we have hosted the annual My Dog Is My Home Conference with the hope that someday\, nobody will have to choose between a home and their best friend. By showcasing emerging practices in keeping people and pets together\, we are building the housing solutions and communities we want. \nThe 3-day virtual My Dog Is My Home Conference (Mar 24-26\, 2026) brings together: \n\nLeaders in the field of pet-inclusive housing\nIndividuals with lived experience of homelessness\nHundreds of representatives from human services and animal welfare nonprofits\n\nThe My Dog Is My Home Conference aims to increase access to pet-inclusive emergency and long-term housing through workshops\, webinars\, stories of lived experience\, art\, community networking\, and more. \nAll of this happens online\, so there are no associated expenses beyond registration. \nA win-win-win for people\, animals\, and service providers—pet-inclusive housing: \n\nSupports humans’ mental\, emotional and physical health\nSaves hard-to-adopt animals from languishing or being euthanized in shelters\nFrees space in animal shelters that are beyond their capacity\n\nThis year’s presenters include: \n\nAimee Gilbreath\, President\, PetSmart Charities\nNicholas Weinmeister\, Project Administrator\, USC Homelessness Policy Research Institute\nNoah Patton\, Director of Disaster Recovery Housing\, National Low Income Housing Coalition\n\nNeed financial assistance? We believe cost should never be a barrier to participation. You can apply today for a scholarship.
