SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/18/23 - Functional Analyses and Reinforcement-Based Treatments for Mouthing in Dogs - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:The most common cause of companion dog relinquishment and non-medical euthanasia is problem behavior. Many animal behavior professionals utilize descriptive assessments\, functional assessments\, or medical assessments to try and identify the functions of problem behavior in order to target those functions in behavior modification protocols. However\, studies have demonstrated differences in accuracy and efficiency between functional assessments and functional analyses. \nMouthing is a relatively common problem behavior observed in pet dogs\, and many owners seek to reduce the frequency of the behavior. However\, the functions of dog mouthing are unknown; therefore\, behavior interventions are based on descriptively-informed behavioral functions. As a result\, current interventions may lack efficacy or even worsen the behavior. \nAlthough the functional analysis is the gold standard for identifying human behavioral functions and developing function-based interventions\, its use in the animal behavior field is still relatively rare. This study assessed the validity of the functional analysis for mouthing in companion dogs and tested function-based interventions informed by the results. Participants included three dogs and their owners participating in a functional analysis and intervention assessment. Data indicate that function-based interventions informed by functional analysis results were efficacious for reducing problem mouthing. \nDiscussion in this session will include how the functional analysis was set up\, behavior was measured\, data were analyzed\, and results were integrated into interventions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify the importance and definition of an operant behavioral function (what drives a particular operant behavior).\nBe able to describe the relative differences between functional assessments and functional analyses\, in addition to understanding the differences in outcomes and efficiency.\nUnderstand the relative frequency and possible functions of dog mouthing behavior.\nHave a very general understanding of the setup of a functional analysis protocol and interpretation of functional analysis results in the context of dog mouthing behavior.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Mindy Waite \nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 1\, KPA 1\, IAABC Pending \nRegistered for the live event\, get busy and cannot make it! No worries you will automatically receive a recording! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-5064798

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/23/23 - Can’t Touch This! Setting Your “Leave-It” to Auto Pilot - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Imagine this…you’re walking along\, and suddenly your dog is at your side\, staring at you. You look around and you see why….chicken bones on the ground\, squirrels playing near the path or that ever-so-tempting pile of horse poop! \nA solid “Leave-it” cue is cool but an automatic leave-it is way better! \nThis webinar is all about just that. Starting with no cue at all\, Denise will walk you through the steps of developing a strong leave-it! First you’ll teach a traditional cue and next you’ll work towards an automatic response to attractive options in the environment. How cool is that?! \nAlong for the ride is a leave-it for the food refusal exercise found in a variety of dog sports. \nJoin Denise and find your walks become a lot more relaxing as your dog takes responsibility for leaving stuff where it belongs – in the environment! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar – 3/25/23 – For Dog’s sake\, can you stop that? Canine-Friendly Body Language Improvements for Humans – Dogs Playing for Life
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 DPFL Founder and CEO\, Aimee Sadler\, reveals the common widely accepted and taught handling errors that set dogs up for failure. Through extensive video examples\, she will demonstrate alternative handling techniques that help dogs to trust and thrive! \nLearning objectives:\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 in order to save more dogs \nThis is a 2-hour presentation followed by a Q&A session of approximately 30 minutes. This webinar will NOT be recorded and is scheduled on EASTERN TIME. \nThis webinar holds 500 attendees\, so register ahead of time and show up on time the day of the webinar (we’ll open it up 15 minutes early) to be sure to get a spot! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OpMzJhaNT_Cwsd-1D-Gi1Q

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/29/23 - Predation Substitute Training - A Holistic Training Program To Stop Dogs From Chasing! - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Conventional training protocols stifle the dog’s natural predatory behaviors through punishing or constantly forcing them to return. These restrictive protocols work against the dog’s nature and against what they want most: to go for a hunt! \nPredation is an inner need that makes our dogs happy. Suppressing those natural urges is like putting a lid on a boiling pot. Eventually\, that pressure needs to escape\, and without a proper outlet\, it’s probably going to get messy. \nPredation Substitute Training (PST) is a motivation-based and need-oriented training program\, designed to stop uncontrolled predatory chasing and to provide safe outlets for our dog’s natural drive. \nInstead of making discipline the nagging factor that spoils the fun\, this training system will help dogs and their guardians to grow as a team and go hunting together! \nIn this presentation Simone is going to discuss: \n\nWhat is predation?\nWhy do our dogs love to hunt?\nWhy is predatory behaviour so hard to interrupt?\nHow and why does Predation Substitute Training work?\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 1\, KPA 1\, PMCT 1\, & IAABC Pending \nRegistered for the live event\, get busy and cannot make it! \nNo worries you will automatically receive a recording! \nAbout the Instructor \nSimone Mueller\, MA is a certified dog trainer and dog behaviour consultant (ATN) from Germany. \nSimone specialises in force-free anti-predation training and is the author of the three books of the Predation Substitute Training series “Hunting Together”\, “Rocket Recall” and “Don’t Eat That”. \nSimone is proud to be an Associate Trainer at the Scotland-based Lothlorien Dog Training Club (AT-LDTC) and a member of The Initiative of Force-Free Dog Training\, the Pet Professional Guild (PPG) and the Pet Dog Trainers of Europe (PDTE). \nFollow Simone’s work on Facebook and Instagram: #predationsubstitutetraining.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/5/23 - The Importance of Transparency in Sheltering and Rescue - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Much like the lack of transparency in dog training\, there’s also a lack of transparency in sheltering and rescue organizations. This webinar will review key questions adopters\, donors and those looking to support organizations should look for\, red flags to be aware of and how organizations can improve their transparency with the public. As behavior professionals\, we’ve likely all had clients who were well-intentioned adopting a dog that turned out to be more than they bargained for\, resulting in emotional and financial duress. It’s up to all of us to keep groups accountable\, educate clients and raise awareness about the importance of transparency. \nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 1\, KPA 1 Pending IAABC \nPresented by Kate LaSala \nKate LaSala\, CTC\, CBCC-KA\, PCBC-A\, CSAT\, FFCP-E is a multi-credentialed\, certified behavior consultant and trainer\, who specializes in helping fearful\, aggressive and separation anxiety dogs and their people live better lives through one-on-one online positive training.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/11/23 - Crisis Sheltering for Pets: Keeping People and Pets Together - HASS
DESCRIPTION:There are times when someone can’t take care of their pet on a temporary basis\, because of a medical emergency\, loss of housing\, or another short-term crisis. The traditional sheltering response is to permanently separate the pet from their owner\, but more and more organizations are providing crisis sheltering instead—boarding the pet at the shelter\, or placing them in a foster home\, for a limited amount of time. How does crisis sheltering work\, and how can you get started? We’ve gathered experts from multiple crisis sheltering organizations and programs for a live panel discussion that will leave you inspired. \nJoin us in conversation with Shoshana Mostoller\, Community Engagement Manager for Chesapeake Humane Society; Jodi Polanski\, Founder and Executive Director of Lost Our Home Pet Rescue; Kristina Pulsipher\, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Ruff Haven Crisis Sheltering; Andy Bond\, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of BestyBnB\, and our moderator Vincent Medley\, Director of Human Animal Support Services. We’ll discuss what crisis sheltering looks like in each of their organizations\, challenges they’ve overcome\, and their best tips for getting started. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://zoom.us/webinar/register/6016782060176/WN_qFQtd-iCTnadivtQEMA84w

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/13/23 - Maddie's Insights: Becoming a Secure Base: Using science to improve human-animal bonds and welfare - Maddie's Fund

D.\, CAAB\, Associate Professor of Animal Sciences at Oregon State University\, where she also runs the Human-Animal Interactions Lab. \nMany people feel that they have shared a strong bond with a do\, and there is growing scientific evidence that these dogs also form strong bonds with their humans. However\, science also tells us that not all bonds are created equal. The kind and quality of attachment relationship shared can influence a dog’s behavior and welfare outcomes. In this talk\, Dr. Monique Udell will provide an overview of attachment theory\, including what it means to be a Secure Base\, and how this knowledge can be applied to better understand and improve dog-human relationships and the relationships shared between humans and other animals. \n  \nAbout the presenter: \nMonique Udell\, Ph. D.\, CAAB \nDr. Monique Udell is a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist and an Associate Professor of Animal Sciences at Oregon State University\, where she also runs the Human-Animal Interactions Lab. Much of her work focuses on the development of human-animal bonds and the impact that these bonds can have on the behavior and success of both species. She also studies the social behavior and cognition of a variety of species including cats\, dogs\, wolves\, and sheep\, with a special interest in the influence of domestication and lifetime experience on behavioral development\, welfare and learning. In addition\, Dr. Udell is the co-director of an animal-assisted intervention program dedicated to improving the quality of life of children with and without developmental disabilities and their family dogs and cats.

SUMMARY:Webinar – 4/21/23 – Surrender Prevention Series: Jumping – GoodPup
DESCRIPTION:This is the fourth installment of GoodPup’s new webinar series: Surrender Prevention; Addressing Common Behavioral Challenges. \nDuring the spring webinar series\, GoodPup will break down how to provide some preventive management and simple solutions for addressing a variety of common behavioral challenges experienced with the welcoming of new family members. The series begins in January with House Training struggles including common setbacks and the demands encountered within different lifestyles. Then they’ll dabble into other challenges during the following months including barking\, jumping\, mouthiness\, crate concerns and reactivity to unfamiliar people. \nThis month’s topic is: Jumping! \nThere are a variety of reasons that dogs jump.  It may provide a solution for them to get what they want or need.  Or\, it may just be a way for them to express themselves; to communicate.  And\, while jumping is a normal behavior for our dogs\, if left unaddressed\, it can certainly become an undesired and even unsafe one. \nIn this webinar GoodPup will focus on how best to address our dogs that love to jump. We’ll identify different reasons why our dogs jump. Then we’ll explore how to prevent the jumping from becoming a problem and we’ll build some plans together as a group to help us solve when jumping is already a problem. This is one team discussion you won’t want to miss. \nGoodPup will be following their April webinar with a May webinar on mouthy behavior.  Again\, they’ll discuss various situations where dogs express mouthiness; talk about how to use management to help prevent the behavior from ever starting and lastly look at some problem solving tips with dogs that are already displaying the behavior as a concern. \nRegister for this free webinar here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/surrender-prevention-series-jumping-tickets-604107099597 \nPresenter: \nKait Hembree VTS (Behavior)\, CVT\, KPA CTP\nHead of Training at GoodPup \nKait Hembree and her team designed the GoodPup Training Program using the latest scientific research and positive reinforcement training techniques.
