SUMMARY:Webinar – 9/12/24 – DPFL’s Approach to On-Leash Reactivity – Dogs Playing for Life (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Reactivity on the part of dogs living in shelters is a rampant issue that can contribute to behavioral deterioration\, increased length of stay\, and even loss of life. From a misdiagnosis of “aggression” to dogs whose reactive behavior escalates to problematic and potentially unsafe levels\, learning how to help dogs suffering from reactivity issues is a crucial need shared by our entire industry. \nWhile this webinar can be attended as a standalone course\, we will build on our Fancy Footwork approach to handling and training to offer practical training\, handling\, and safety solutions to on-leash reactivity for dogs living in shelters. \nThis is a 2-hour presentation followed by a 30 min Q&A session. This webinar costs $20 and you will receive the recording the next day. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xqFMgom-SKucZfHQsGwJIg#/registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/12/24 - Maddie’s Insights: Aligning Programs with Community Needs to Support Companion Dog Retention - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a brand-new season of Maddie’s Insights: Practical tips based on current research to help pets and people. \nOn September 12\, 2024 our guest is Seana Dowling-Guyer\, MS. She is the Associate Director for the Center for Shelter Dogs at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. \nAnimal sheltering has evolved to focus on community-based services as much as in-shelter care. The philosophy that animal sheltering begins and ends within the community through various support programs is gaining traction. These programs\, ranging from food banks and training classes to veterinary services\, aim to support pet guardianship and retention in the home. However\, there’s often a mismatch between the programs offered and the actual needs of the community. In this session\, Seana will share research on pre-COVID retention programs focused on companion dogs offered by US animal sheltering organizations\, highlighting gaps between these programs and community needs. She will outline a strategic decision-making process for selecting community programs to support pets in homes and discuss different program options. \nIn this session\, attendees will: \n\nLearn about common retention programs focused on companion dogs offered by US shelters and identify gaps between available programs and community needs\nBecome familiar with a strategic decision-making process that can be used when developing and evaluating community programs that support pets in homes\n\nCan’t attend live? Register anyway and you will get a link to the recording. \nThese webinars have 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. They have also been submitted for approval for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) approval. \nAbout the Speaker \nSeana Dowling-Guyer is the Associate Director of Tufts Collaborative (Center) for Shelter Dogs at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University and teaches in the M.S. in Animals and Public Policy program. Seana is interested in the intersection of animal behavior and people’s perceptions of that behavior\, particularly how our attitudes and knowledge of animal behavior impact animal welfare and behavior. Her research examines how to improve the welfare of dogs in shelters and support dogs and other companion animals in the home and community. She also investigates trends in animal sheltering. A long-time cat parent\, Seana now takes care of four crazy ferrets while her daughter is away at college. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsRegister
