SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/9/24 - Maddie's Insights: Impact of Classical Counterconditioning (Quiet Kennel Exercise) on Barking in Shelter Dogs - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:A major welfare concern in animal shelters is excessive barking from kenneled dogs. This contributes to noise pollution\, can cause hearing damage\, and has a negative impact on all animals within earshot. This study demonstrated that by implementing a simple classical counterconditioning exercise\, consisting of instructing all ward passers-through to toss treats to each dog regardless of behavior exhibited\, could change the emotional state of dogs from negative to more positive\, thus reducing fear and frustration that often leads to excessive barking. \nData analysis showed that implementation of this simple exercise did reduce barking at clinically relevant levels even with a changing shelter population. Additionally\, for each percent increase in compliance rate\, there was an average decrease of 17.3 dB in the maximum decibel reading. Moreover\, an overall positive change in attitude from most dogs towards visitors further showed the positive effects of the study. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nAttendees will learn to identify and apply basic learning theory\, specifically focusing on Classical (Pavlovian) Conditioning\, to dogs in a kennel setting.\nAttendees will learn to identify risks and consequences of noise pollution in shelters\, and also ways to reduce it to improve welfare of all species in the shelter.\n\nCan’t attend the live event? Register anyway! This webcast will be recorded\, and a link will be sent a day after the live event ends. \nThis webinar has been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association. It has also been approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) approval. \nSpeakers: \n@Sara Bennett\, DVM\, MS\, DACVB (Behavior)\, she/her/hers\nClinical Assistant Professor\, Veterinary Behavior Specialist\nDepartment of Clinical Sciences\nNorth Carolina State University\, College of Veterinary Medicine \n@Jamirelis Carrero (Jami)\nDVM candidate\nNorth Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine \nWEBSITE LINK: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsRegister

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/9/24 - Management vs Training for Behavior Problems - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Training for behavior problems is different from training basic obedience\, in that it involves finding and motivating behaviors incompatible to your problem ones\, plus changing the underlying emotions that can give rise to those problems in the first place! Let’s talk about those familiar ABCs\, but let’s break them down into A-B\, and B-C! \nAdditionally\, avoiding rehearsal of behavior issues is an important part of their resolution. Most people are working at stopping the display of undesirable behaviors while they’re happening\, but the best way to do this is to have a set of skills that are so well practiced that they are almost a script you can follow! Management is a skill unto itself\, and has to be addressed separately from the specific behavior change needed long term. \nIn this webinar Dr. Cook will go over: \n\nThe structure and goals of behavior modification\, and whether you need a new A\, a new B\, or a new C!\nHow management is crucial to reducing unwanted behaviors\nMovement skills: Magnets and hand touch\nStationary skills: Perching and treasure hunt\nHome skills: Mat skills\, interruptions\, and solo play\n\nIf you have a dog with a behavior issue\, getting a handle on how management and training are different — both in their goals and their execution — is crucial to your success! \nPresenter: Amy Cook\, PhD \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars
