SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/22/24 - Open Adoption Theory: Getting More Pets Home - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:While countless factors beyond our control are causing an influx of animals into our shelters\, we do have some influence over the pace at which they leave. Most members of the public are not acquiring their pets from shelters and rescues and it is on all of us to change that. More adoptions mean more lives saved and more manageable populations in our shelters. Please join us for this important session with speaker Michael Keiley from the MSPCA to take a deep dive into Open Adoption Theory where we will discuss effective conversation-based adoption counseling and take a hard look at policies that drive people away. This one-hour presentation will be followed by a 30-minute opportunity for Q&A with our speaker who has successfully implemented this approach in placing more than 10\,000 animals per year in loving homes. \nPresenter: Michael Keiley\, MSPCA \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_fefhN37BTnCjM2JXCztWag

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/22/24 - Do THIS! Not THAT! Differential Reinforcement for Common Behavior Problems with Karen Fine - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:How many times have you heard “What do you want them to DO instead”? I’ve said it a lot myself! Trained behaviors can be a valuable tool within a behavior modification plan. However\, it is beneficial to adhere to certain details. \nA differential approach is based on the principles of operant conditioning; a behavior is shaped by its consequences. The trainer provides positive reinforcement for desired behaviors which can create good habits and prevent bad ones. \nYour dog’s state of mind and arousal level are important aspects of the DR approach. Implementing the acceptable trained behavior needs to be done under threshold to be effective. As with all DR behaviors\, it is important that they be fluent with little to no latency and that they evoke a positive Conditioned Emotional Response (CER). That is why the way we train is important. For example\, a trained SIT to avoid a leash correction will not carry the necessary positive CER that a dog that will SIT to gain something like food\, praise\, or play. \nThere are three different types of differential reinforcement. DRI – Incompatible. This is often the most difficult process to implement as it requires creating an incompatible behavior where the undesired behavior is completely impossible to perform. DRA- Alternative. This is likely the most common type of DR behavior implemented. The dog is reinforced for any alternative behavior other than undesired behaviors. DRO – Other. In this process\, the dog can be reinforced for performing ANY behavior other than the undesired one. \nThis webinar will present DR behaviors that can be used for common problems: jumping on owner\, jumping on guests\, door darting\, loose leash walking\, frustration/demand behaviors\, and reactivity stemming from fear\, or anxiety. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars
