SUMMARY:Online Course - Starts 3/1/21 - RAT™: Relationship Assessment Tool - Certification Course with Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:RAT™ is a rapid assessment tool that provides clear information about each relationship. Whoever they may be\, in every relationship the handler brings his or her habits\, personalities\, needs and style to interact with the dog\, who also brings his own personality\, patterns of response\, needs and style. We need to work with the whole package. \nRAT™ clearly identifies the strengths and weaknesses of any dog/handler team. Training Triage helps you prioritize and develop a sensible\, targeted training plan for improving and strengthening the relationship. Put your training time\, energy and resources into addressing the actual issues\, not following a one-size-fits-all training plan. RAT™ is a must-have tool that streamlines your training so that you can be as effective\, humane and customized as possible. \nGrounded in detailed observations\, RAT™ can be used for initial assessment as well as for monitoring progress over time or situations. RAT™ can be done in almost any setting to gather critical information about the dog/handler team. \nRAT™ is ideal for trainers\, instructors\, shelter workers\, rescue groups\, veterinarians\, vet techs\, breeders\, service dog trainers\, AAI/AAT and anyone interested in understanding and enhancing the dog/human relationship. \nSuzanne Clothier\, Instructor \nBegins March 1\, 2021 \nCEUs pending \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://relationshipcenteredtraining.thinkific.com/courses/rat-assessment

SUMMARY:Online Course - 3/4/21 - CARAT™: Ethology of the Individual - Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Did you miss CARAT last time? Here’s your chance to join us and find out why people say\, “CARAT changes everything!” \nCARAT is a novel temperament assessment system that categorizes behavior traits in multiple components that are intuitive and practical. CARAT is truly a game changer that will alter how you assess\, understand and work with dogs. \nCARAT takes a detailed view of the individual dog as a unique combination of many factors working together to influence\, exacerbate\, mitigate and enhance each other. In the profile created by the nuances and specifics of this complex interaction of multiple traits\, an accurate picture is created of the individual\, regardless of breed or age. \nAt all times\, behavior is assessed according to how productive\, functional\, or adaptive it may be\, with a full understanding that what may be productive\, functional or adaptive in one context may not be in another context. For example\, there would be great differences in the CARAT profiles for a successful guide dog\, competitive agility dog and a suitable companion for an elderly person with mobility issues. \n  \nWhat Does CARAT Assess? \nCARAT looks at these main categories and specifics of temperament traits: \n\nCORE:  Arousal\, Resilience\, Energy\nSOCIAL: Sociability\, Social Tolerance\, Social Use of Space\nSENSORY: Visual\, Auditory\, Kinesthetic\, Olfactory\nPERSISTENCE: Visual\, Auditory\, Kinesthetic\, Olfactory\, Predatory/Chase\nINTERACTIVE:  Patience\, Biddability w/Familiar\, Biddability w/Stranger\nComplex traits:  Social Confidence\, Environmental Confidence\, Self Modulation\n\n  \nThis is an online course\, with all events taking place online through Thinkific & Zoom. The details: \n·      The complete content will be presented in 8 sessions\, each approx 1.5 hours in length. \n·      Upon completion of the course\, access to private CARAT discussion group. \n·      We will release two pre-recorded sessions each week for 4 weeks. \n·      You may watch the recorded sessions any time\, at your convenience. \n·      Q&A Zoom meeting each week. Attend live\, or submit questions ahead of time. \n·      In all cases\, the Q&A sessions will also be recorded. Link provided to those recordings. \n·      Slides for all presentations will be available for you to download and use for note taking. \n·      The CARAT Introduction Handout will be available for you to download. \n·      You will have access to all online materials for 120 days from start date. \n\n  \nSuzanne Clothier\, Instructor \nBegins March 4\, 2021 – 5 weeks \nFee: $350.00 (Early BirdDog discounts and payment plan available) \nCEUS for IAABC\, PPAB\, CCPDT \n  \nWEB LINK:  https://relationshipcenteredtraining.thinkific.com/courses/carat-spring-2021

SUMMARY:Online Course - 3/18/21 - Community Engagement: The lifesaving philosophy - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:The term “community engagement” gets thrown around a lot\, as if it is something that an officer can do if they have a few extra minutes.  To unlock the full potential of community engagement\, however\, we must start thinking of it as less of a project and more of a state of mind. This lifesaving philosophy will not only help save the lives of animals but could potentially save an officer’s life as well.  In this course you will learn how embracing community engagement as a mindset can\, and will\, increase lifesaving efforts and officer safety. \nJoin us on March 18\, 2021 at 01:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://network.bestfriends.org/tools-and-information/e-learning/live-online-training

SUMMARY:Online Course - 3/18/21 - Advanced Return to Owner in the Field: Beyond the Scanner - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Animal control officers play an integral role today in the reduction of shelter intake by choosing to identify and return stray dogs to their families without bringing them into the shelter\, but all too often\, officers stop looking for an owner was they find that the animal has no ID\, tags\, or microchip. This workshop highlights successful efforts from agencies across the country that have shown to significantly increase the field RTO rate for those animals without obvious identification. \nJoin us on March 18\, 2021 at 02:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://network.bestfriends.org/tools-and-information/e-learning/live-online-training
