SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/24/22 - “I’m out of Control!” Helping the Over-Aroused Animal - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Many of the behavior issues we see in pets – including biting – can relate to over-arousal. So how do we help the over-aroused animal? Whether you are faced with reactive\, aggressive\, or fearful behavior\, addressing over-arousal can be the key to improving behavior and keeping pets in their homes. In this presentation\, Irith will give you tips for identifying over-arousal and share practical tools to help you deal with over-arousal issues in pet animals. \nThis was previously aired at Geek Week 2021 \nLearning Objectives: \n\nBetter understand arousal and its effects.\nBe able to determine when “problem” behaviors relate to over-arousal.\nLearn training games that can help pets learn to manage their arousal levels.\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT (pending)\, IAABC (pending)\, KPA (pending) \nAbout the Presenter\nIrith Bloom has loved animals for as long as she can remember. She grew up with dogs\, gerbils\, and a pet snake (who was housed far from the gerbils) and was fascinated by horses. After years of (unsuccessfully) begging her parents to let her ride\, she took matters into her own hands and won a horse in an essay contest. Irith’s parents were too busy to train the animals\, so Irith became good at teaching useful (from the human point of view) skills to non-human animals. \nA self-admitted geek\, Irith has spent a great deal of time studying the science of behavior. She is fortunate enough to be invited regularly to give presentations on a variety of animal- and learning-related topics. Her writing on these topics has also been published both online and in print. \nIrith is faculty at Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior and dogbiz’s Dog Walking Academy. She is also a CPDT-KSA\, a CBCC-KA\, a CDBC\, a CSAT\, a KPA CTP\, a VSPDT\, and a CBATI\, as well as being certified in TAGteach\, a positive-reinforcement method for teaching humans. \nIrith is a member of the board of directors of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT)\, on the advisory board for Daily Paws\, chair emeritus of the Education Committee of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT)\, and a former member of the APDT Legislative Task Force. She also volunteers for National English Shepherd Rescue. \nIrith has a BA in biology from the University of Pennsylvania and lives in Los Angeles\, California. Her company\, The Sophisticated Dog\, LLC\, offers online training and behavior services to clients worldwide as well as limited in-person services for clients in her local area. Irith also offers consulting services for fellow pet professionals. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4987027

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/3/22 - Maddie's Insights: Emergency Fostering During the Pandemic - Takeaways for a post-pandemic world - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Maddie’s Insights are monthly webcasts with practical tips based on current research to help pets and people. \nOn March 11\, 2020\, the World Health Organization deemed the coronavirus outbreak a worldwide pandemic\, and subsequently a nationwide emergency was declared in the United States. During this time\, media outlets reported increased interest in foster caregiving and adoption of shelter pets. In this talk\, Dr. Gunter will describe her research team’s examination of canine foster caregiving at 19 US animal shelters during the first four months of the COVID-19 pandemic and what they learned about shelters’ utilization of foster caregiving\, the foster caregivers and their relationships to the shelter\, and how monetary resources influenced foster caregiving and dog outcomes. Specifically\, Dr. Gunter will discuss key takeaways for foster recruitment\, trial adoption programs\, caregiving practices\, and behavioral support that can be utilized in our post-pandemic world. \nAfter the webcast\, join us on Maddie’s Pet Forum to continue the discussion\, ask questions and exchange ideas: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastFoster \nThis webinar will be recorded and 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. \nRegister here: https://maddiesfund-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_g6N2KwBmSsOiXf07ht1sTQ \nPresenter\nDr. Lisa Gunter\, Assistant Professor\, Coastal Carolina University \nLisa Gunter\, PhD\, CBCC-KA is an Assistant Professor at Coastal Carolina University in the Department of Psychology. Before beginning her graduate studies\, she worked for nearly a decade with dogs in animal shelters and with pet dogs and their owners. The goal of Lisa’s research is to better the lives of companion animals and their owners. To this aim\, she has investigated the breed labeling of shelter dogs\, their breed heritage\, shelter housing and social interactions\, temporary and long-term fostering\, short-term outings\, behavioral indicators of welfare\, post-adoption interventions focused on owner retention – and more recently\, fostering during the pandemic and safety net programs to help keep people and their pets together. Under the mentorship of Clive Wynne\, Lisa earned her Master’s in 2015\, and her PhD in 2018 as a graduate student in the behavioral neuroscience and comparative psychology program at Arizona State University. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddiesfund-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_g6N2KwBmSsOiXf07ht1sTQ

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/3/22 - The Elemental Questions with Suzanne Clothier - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:How the dog responds to life is highly individual\, blending temperament with personality and history — and of course\, the environment and others around him. Understanding the dog within the context of this complex blend of information helps handlers work to modify and adapt their handling and goals for enhanced relationships and better performance. \nWhatever your training goals or sport\, the Elemental Questions™ help you truly “see the dog” and provide the detailed information about each animal as he is. This is where truly humane training is grounded: in detailed knowledge about the individual dog. \nSuzanne’s simple but powerful Elemental Questions are: \n\nHello? Looks at the dog’s social interactions\nWho are you? Asks about how the dog perceives and responds to his world\nHow is this for you? Asks about the immediate situation and the dog’s mental\, physical & emotional balance\nCan you…? Looks at the dog’s physical abilities & limitations\nMay I…? Seeks ways to gain the dog’s cooperation and permission\nCan we…? Balancing the dog/handler team’s abilities and limitations against goals\n\nFor each dog\, the answers to these questions provide a wealth of information to those interested in helping that dog be all that he can be. \nNote: This webinar is back by popular demand.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/5/22 - Play Is Magic! with Trish McMillan - Shelter Behavior Hub (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Humans can sometimes come off as untrustworthy of dogs. People may lure dogs in close with a treat and then suddenly reach toward or grab them. In shelters\, people walk by\, stare at the dogs\, and then continue walking by. But dogs? Dogs don’t lie to their dog friends. If you’re out in the play yard and your new best dog friend tells you the humans are OK\, you might just believe them. And if humans approaching the front of your kennel means you’re about to go to playgroup or on a group walk\, you may start thinking humans are OK too.

In this webinar\, you will learn about social learning\, dog play dynamics\, and how to manage playgroups in shelters. \nThese webinars are suitable for veterinary professionals\, animal trainers\, animal behaviorists\, shelter and rescue staff and volunteers\, and anyone with an interest in evidence-based behavior intervention. \nHere is the list of webinar dates\, topics\, and times: \n\nOctober 1\, 2022: Behavior Assessments for Shelter Dogs\, 11am to 12:30pm EST\nNovember 5\, 2022: Play is Magic!\, 11am to 12:30pm EST\nDecember 3\, 2022: Conversation-Based Adoptions\, 11am to 12:30pm EST\n\nThis is an online event.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/7/22 - Highly Sensitive Dogs - Dr. Maya Bräm - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:The understanding that personality influences how an individual reacts to (environmental) stimuli has markedly increased in the past years. This is reflected by the rising number of studies on this topic not only in humans\, but also in animals. As dogs live in the same social environment and in near proximity with humans\, this species is particularly suitable to study in this respect. One personality trait that has been shown to have such an influence in humans – and now also in dogs – is high sensitivity or “sensory processing sensitivity”. \nThis webinar will give an insight into this personality trait\, present the most interesting results of our research in dogs and offer some suggestions of how this knowledge might help prevent and treat (behavioural) problems and thereby increase the quality of life of dogs and their surroundings. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/highly-sensitive-dogs.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/10/22 - Friendly for a Reason: Expanding Shelter-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return Eligibility for Cats - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, community cat programs using shelter-neuter-vaccinate-return (SNVR) and trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) have focused mostly on feral or fractious cats.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/10/22 - Train This Now! The Short List for your New Puppy - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Five core concepts that a baby can learn. Each one offers several tangents of training that will expand your puppy’s readiness for the world. \nWe used to train all the things as young as possible\, and puppies were often overwhelmed. Nowadays we tend to train very little while we let the relationship take shape. Our babies are learning at a phenomenal rate whether we like it or not\, so it’s important to teach them some things and it’s important to choose wisely! What to train when? Which things can wait a little longer and which things are best to teach while your puppy is very young? \nEach of these five lessons can be built over the next few weeks and you can build the more advanced elements over the next few months. You and your puppy will benefit immediately when you get started. Life skills and convenience\, confidence\, manners and learning to learn. This is a core group of compatible concepts that even a baby can master. You and your puppy will love the fun and games approach\, and you’ll enjoy a lifetime benefit from starting young. \nNote: This webinar is back by popular demand.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/15/22 - Vibrant\, Vulnerable Village Dogs and What We Can Learn About Our Pets From Them - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Many dog guardians\, dog behaviour experts\, and dog researchers have a keen interest in village dogs (and other dogs who live at large). Some of the interest is simple: a curiosity about how these dogs live. However\, some people suggest that village dogs live a life which is much improved\, welfare-wise\, over the life of a pet dog. In this webinar\, dog trainer and anthropologist Kristi Benson will provide an introduction to village dogs (including definitions and geography). She will also review welfare-compromised and positive aspects of village dogs lives before looking at some of the lessons we can learn for pet dogs: enrichment\, foraging\, socializing\, environmental choices\, and so on. She will also comment on some of the potential pitfalls and flaws in the discussions about village dogs. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nEvaluate sources of expertise on village dogs and dog welfare\nUnderstand the difference between seeking good consequences vs. getting relief\, and why those separate motivations matter to this\ntopic\nIdentify the naturalistic fallacy in the context of discussing village dogs\nDevelop new ways to improve pet dog welfare based on lessons from village dogs\n\nAbout the Presenter \nKristi Benson is an honours graduate of\, and now on staff at\, the Academy for Dog Trainers. At the Academy\, she is a student mentor and coach\, and is in charge of the weekly webinars. Kristi is also in charge of special projects\, including the Husbandry Project\, which is a large co-operative veterinary care research study working with hundreds of dog owners\, testing the efficiency and usefulness of a series of training plans. In her private practice\, Kristi works with dog guardians through her self-paced online classes. She also loves helping both the dogs and the humans in the equation and brings her trademark combination of humour and compassion to her courses\, no matter the topic. \nKristi also enjoys reaching out to dog owners through writing. Besides her own blog\, she also regularly writes for the Academy for Dog Trainers’ blog and is a Special Correspondent to Zazie Todd’s Companion Animal Psychology. For ten years\, she ran a sled dog micro-rescue with her partner\, and fostered\, house-trained\, obedience-trained\, and re-homed racing sled dogs. She lives rurally in northern British Columbia\, Canada. She has gained the PCBC-A credential\, is Fear Free certified\, and is on the Fear Free Speaker’s Bureau. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4986127
