SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/11/24 - Elevator Behavior: Skills for Existing in Polite Society! - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Is your dog magnetized to people and other dogs when out in public? Does he find it difficult to impossible to simply ignore others in the environment? Do you feel like your dog is constantly looking for interaction with others while you struggle to keep his focus on you? We all want our dogs to be comfortable around other dogs and people and we often work very hard to socialize them. But do we take it too far and create an even bigger problem? Deb will discuss her concept of teaching dogs good “elevator behavior” and the importance of a dog who can simply mind his own business in public places. \nNote: This Webinar is back by popular demand. Please check your webinar library before purchasing. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/19/24 - For Dog's sake\, can you stop that? Canine-Friendly Body Language Improvements for Humans - Dogs Playing for Life (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Dogs are resilient and oh-so-forgiving! These qualities make them endearing as companions\, along with their ability to love unconditionally. So\, why do some dogs struggle to understand us when we are offering affection or when we want to help them\, not harm them? In this session\, we will focus on the HUMAN handling that contributes to unwanted behavior\, even “aggression”. Get ready to rethink your approach as we reveal the common and widely accepted and taught handling errors that set dogs up for failure. Through extensive video examples\, we will demonstrate alternative handling techniques that help dogs to trust and thrive! \nThis webinar will demonstrate: \n– Examples of handling that causes negative behavior compared to handling that promotes  desired behavior \n– Demonstration of handling that induces trust and learning with dogs that are too afraid to respond initially to food rewards or affection \n– Comprehensive discussion around the correct use of pressure and release and why this is a critical skill for shelter canine handlers to master to save more dogs \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_EYFAcMH0S-6beQZX-RStQQ#/

SUMMARY:4/25/24 - Why Animals Need Trainers Who Adhere to the Least Intrusive Principle: Improving Animal Welfare and Honing Trainers’ Skills - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Recent interest in basic and applied research on negative reinforcement creates an opportunity to confirm the understanding of why animals need trainers who support the least intrusive principle in selecting behavior-change procedures. In this presentation\, we will\n1) examine the rationale for a hierarchy of behavior-change procedures according to the least intrusive principle\,\n2) consider the principle’s impact on animal welfare and trainers’ skills\,\n3) explore the research comparing positive and negative reinforcement for addressing escape-maintained behavior\,\n4) review alternative solutions to negative reinforcement\, and\n5) acknowledge recent concerns about the adoption of a procedural ethical guideline as it applies to the animal training profession. \nThese concerns offer the animal training community the opportunity to disagree well when disagreement exists. \nPresenter: Dr. Susan G. Friedman \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/why-animals-need-trainers-who-adhere-to-the-least-intrusive-principle-improving-animal-welfare-and-honing-trainers-skills.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/24/24 - The Healthy Animal-Healthy Community Initiative - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, animal welfare organizations in the US have shifted their focus towards addressing the root causes of animal problems\, realizing the importance of addressing the human aspect of the issue. Program models have moved away from shelter-based services to more preventive\, community-based solutions. The Animal Rescue League of Boston recognized this shift and updated its mission and vision to include bringing veterinary and wellness services directly to those who need it most\, ensuring that animals are safe and healthy in communities rather than shelters. \nThis case study explores the journey of the Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Wellness Waggin’ program\, from its conception to implementation\, including steps like determining a target area\, building community relationships\, securing funding\, and launching a pilot program. The Wellness Waggin’ is now a successful mobile veterinary unit that has completed over 14\,000 wellness care appointments since 2018. \nAttendees will leave the webinar with: \n\nA basic framework for implementing a new community-based program\, including an alternative grass-roots approach to engaging with community that is achievable for organizations of all sizes.\nIdeas for learning what each community needs\nWays to determine a target community for a new community-based program or for creating new community partnerships\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/4-24-24

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/25/24 - Invisible Advocates: How the Social Justice Movement Influences Animal Advocacy - Life of Riley
DESCRIPTION:Though efforts have been made within the animal advocacy movement to recognize intersections with human rights campaigns\, the latter are frequently classified as belonging to “other movements” that are separate and apart from animal advocacy.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/2/24 - Fear vs. Anxiety: Does the distinction matter? - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:It is common for pet parents\, trainers\, and veterinarians to lump fear and anxiety together as similar emotions. While that’s not inherently wrong\, lumping them together without understanding what sets them apart is likely an oversimplification of these complex emotional states. This webinar will tease out some of the subtle nuances of these emotions and\, even more importantly\, expand on how we can use that information to guide our management and behavior modification (and medication!) interventions to improve their specificity and effectiveness. \nPresenter: Dr. Christopher Pachel \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/fear-vs-anxiety-same-or-different-and-does-it-matter.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/7/24 - Tribal Law and Animal Law - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Tribal nations came before and now co-exist with the United States. Each tribal nation’s relationship with the United States federal government and state governments is unique and layered with complex forms of oppression and injustice. These relationships become more complicated with advocacy for companion animals\, domestic animals\, and wildlife who live on federally recognized reservations\, when many tribal nations are still fighting for basic human rights\, civil rights\, and federal recognition. \nGiven the expansiveness of tribal law and the uniqueness of each tribal nation\, this webinar will highlight some common themes different tribal cultures share that are specific to animals; the struggles that occur in advocating for tribal nations’ needs and the needs of animals who live on reservations; and the challenges that exist with the imposition of mainstream culture onto tribal cultures. \nThis webinar will then propose collaborative methods with tribal nations that create solutions\, which uplift all beings within tribal nations’ lands and legal jurisdictions. \nPresenter \n\nAs a Criminal Justice Program Fellow\, Jessica Chapman works with the ALDF to address crimes against animals\, partnering with stakeholders across the criminal justice system to resolve both the impetus and impact of animal cruelty. \nJessica earned a B.A. from the University of California\, Berkeley where she double majored in Slavic Languages and Literature and Native American Studies (honors). She earned a J.D. (cum laude) from Michigan State University College of Law\, where Jessica received the 2020 Wanda Nash Award from the Animal Law Section of the Michigan State Bar. Jessica earned an Animal law L.L.M. (magna cum laude) from Lewis & Clark Law School. While at Lewis & Clark\, she was awarded the inaugural 2021 Outstanding Animal Law L.L.M. Graduate Award and earned placement in the Cornelius Honor Society. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/tribal-law-and-animal-law/

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

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/18/24 - Targeted TNR & Getting the Most Bang for your Buck - Community Cats Podcast
DESCRIPTION:The more cats you fix\, the more impact your TNR program will have\, right? Wrong! Spay/neuter volume alone is rarely enough by itself to keep consistently reducing a community’s free-roaming cat population over time. \nAnother aspect to the program needs to be identifying areas of high need (meaning\, lots of cats) and then focusing TNR resources at that location in order to achieve high sterilization rates. \nDiscover what targeting is\, why it’s so important and how you can do it no matter how large or small your program currently is. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/events/targeted-tnr-getting-the-most-bang-for-your-buck-presented-by-neighborhood-cats-may-2024/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/21/24 -  Community Cats 2024: Saving Free-Roaming Cats' Lives in the Most Humane Way Possible - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:One of the most important work of shelters these days is serving local communities by engaging in life-saving\, humane – and legal — community cat programs (CCP) for outdoor-living cats. If you want to know about the issues\, and how to do CCPs right\, join us for a walk through the challenges\, particulars\, and legalities of community cats in California\, prepared by the San Francisco SPCA’s Shelter PALS (Shelter Policy and Legal Services) program. \nWhen it comes to community cats in California\, the sheltering industry is much stronger together. Standardizing CCP operations across the state will help people\, animals\, and local governments\, so that we can lift up communities who do not yet have them\, avoid problems in communities who already have CCPs\, and best position the movement to defend CCPs against any challenges. \nIn this 75-minute webinar\, attendees will learn the factual and legal basics of community cats\, how to support those programs with local ordinances\, and also how to sign up your shelter for free legal support to set up or shore up the CCP in your own community. \n\nPresenter: Bruce Wagman\, Attorney\, SFSPCA Shelter PALS \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_p_hreMMiT-C-fSfGkhUpXA#/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/22/24 - Considering Communication: Strategies To Improve Behaviour Change in Clients  - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:As dog trainers\, we often excel at changing dog behaviour\, but may forget the importance of communication skills. Our role as animal advocates and client advisors requires us to excel at communication too. Our ability to share our knowledge and coach new skills ultimately facilitates changing our client’s behaviour in order to change their dog’s behaviour. Good communication builds relationships\, gets buy-in\, creates passion\, develops patience and fosters motivation when our clients are feeling exhausted\, overwhelmed\, confused or frustrated. Yet\, relatively little of our education encompasses communication skills. This webinar focuses on communication strategies for obtaining a case history\, the practical use of empathy and compassion\, and providing constructive\, personalised coaching and reinforcing feedback. We will discuss the value of silence\, the use of analogies and humour\, our own body language\, and how to measure your communicative success. After all\, good communication is a skill we can develop if we are self-aware enough! Participants will learn tips for tailoring communication for each individual client to optimise outcomes for training success. \nLearning objectives: \n\nUnderstand the role communication skills play in building relationships with clients\nIdentify opportunities to provide reinforcing feedback to clients\nIdentify opportunities to provide constructive coaching to clients\n\nPresenter: Petra Edwards PhD\, BSc (Animal Behaviour) (Hons) Cert IV TAE. PCT-A\, TAGTeach Level 2 \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.petprofessionalguild.com/webinars-events/webinars/considering-communication-strategies-to-improve-behaviour-change-in-clients/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/23/24 - How to Create the Future - Nonprofit AF
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready for a radically inclusive\, radically strength-based\, and radically visionary approach to systems change? \nIn your work to create a better world\, you deserve to have approaches that actually change things. Not just changing a government policy or two\, but true systems change\, where we change the whole situation\, the whole field. \nThat requires that we FIRST change how we’re THINKING about the situation. Because only when we change the way we see things do things really change. \nJoin Nonprofit AF’s Vu Le and Creating the Future’s Hildy Gottlieb as they explore what it really takes to create the humane\, healthy\, equitable world we want to live in. \nVu and Hildy will introduce a framework that will shift your thinking from reacting incrementally to what’s wrong in our communities\, to creating what is possible. From scarcity and going it alone\, to the power of radical inclusion and Collective Enoughness – sharing and building upon each other’s strengths. \nIf you’re tired of working your tail off to achieve only incremental\, baby-step results\, come join the conversation! Registration is free. We look forward to seeing you on May 23rd. \n(Illustration by  Camila Leão for Fine ActsxOBI\, CC license 4.0) \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ms7zsNX8SRels9RGk60W7A#/
