Webinar - 6/28/22 - Fancy Footwork: Practical Handling and Training Solutions for the Entire Shelter - Dogs Playing for Life
2022-06-28 09:00 - 10:30
While playgroups are the foundation of our shelter training program, teaching shelter teams how to implement a generalized, effective, and enjoyable way to handle and train their dogs is another essential aspect of our canine programming! In this webinar, we will teach the fundamentals of our “Fancy Footwork” techniques that focus on achieving good leash manners through the use of your FEET instead of your hands. Come learn this unique and highly effective approach that promotes dogs happily walking softly by your side, offering tons of eye contact, and wowing adopters! This new approach to leash work will enhance your handling skills and increase your ability to train ALL dogs, even those that are highly aroused, stressed, fearful, or not motivated by food, all in an effort to improve quality of life and lifesaving for dogs living in shelters.
Additionally, we will teach you how to implement our critically important kennel routines. The kennel areas of our nation’s shelters can be one of the most challenging and distressing environments that dogs–and their handlers–ever face. DPFL kennel routines have been developed and taught to shelters across the country in an effort to combat these challenges and to provide safer and more successful ways for dogs and people to maneuver through the kennels.
This is a 1.5-hour presentation followed by a Q&A session. This webinar will NOT be recorded and is scheduled on EASTERN TIME.

Webinar - 6/28/22 - Rescuing the “Rescuer”: The Challenging World of Rescue Hoarders - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
2022-06-28 10:00 - 11:15
Animal Hoarding affects every city in America. Rescue Hoarders can be especially challenging for jurisdictions to address. The community often formulates an opinion about these “Rescuers” before response agencies are even allowed to assess the situation. How often have you heard that,”Their heart is too big, or they’re doing the best they can, or the animals are loved what more can you want?” This session will explore some tactics agencies charged with addressing rescue hoarders can employ in their community. Whether you choose to address the issue now or not, the problem does not go away. In fact, allowing rescue hoarders to operate without checks and balances only compounds an already complex problem. If you’ve ever struggled to deal with a rescue hoarder in your community, you won’t want to miss this session!

Webinar - 6/30/22 - Erin Lynes - Leash Skills for Puppies - FDSA (fee applies)
2022-06-30 18:00 - 19:00
One of the most common training issues – across dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes – is leash pulling! Everyone wants to be able to walk their dog – for fun, for exercise, or just to get somewhere safely-without getting dragged off their feet or dislocating a shoulder.
Leash walking is not a natural behavior in itself, but there are some hard-wired puppy behaviors in early development that if properly reinforced, actually help make leash training easier. The sooner you start, the better: it is definitely easier to start right away with a baby puppy and build good habits than to fix bad habits later on with a full grown dog!
This webinar will look at the ways that we can build leash skills in baby puppies – starting from the day you first bring them home and splitting the skills into baby brain sized bits – so that you can you can get off on the right foot and build good habits before bad ones get a leash pulling gets a chance to become habitual! We’ll look at the factors that make leash training challenging and the things that handlers do that accidentally make this worse, so that you can prevent those from becoming problems for your new puppy. We’ll look at games that you can play to make the learning fun, how to determine the location, duration, and frequency of leash training sessions to maximize success AND how to manage exercise needs and leash walking before your puppy has fully established skills so that you aren’t just setting yourself back! Training gear that is helpful is covered, as well as how and when to use it. Finally, we’ll talk about having reasonable expectations for good leash behavior, and how those expectations play into your ability to preserve good habits through adolescence and beyond.
The dream of a dog who walks nicely on leash is possible and it’s never too early to get started!

Webinar - 7/5/22 - DPFL’s Approach to On-Leash Reactivity - Dogs Playing for Life
2022-07-05 09:00 - 10:30
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.

While 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.

Webinar - 7/14/22 - What Not to Pair: Changing the Value of Reinforcers & Punishers - Dog iBox (fee applies)
2022-07-14 10:00 - 11:30
Consequences drive behavior. Therefore, a deep understanding of the mutability of both reinforcers and punishers is essential for skillful training. What we consider an obvious positive reinforcer can actually transform, quite quickly, into a punisher through unintended learning. So we must avoid accidentally “poisoning” positive reinforcers, the foundation of humane behavioral interventions. Similarly, preserving the clear meaning of punishers is also necessary for our learners’ welfare. After this webinar, you will notice many examples in everyday situations of these accidental side-effects of training and will have alternative strategies to prevent them.

Webinar - 7/19/22 - Becoming a more wildlife-friendly agency - HSUS
2022-07-19 11:00 - 12:00
Does your agency’s mission for the humane treatment of animals extend not just to companion animals, but to wildlife too? Animal control facilities are increasingly tasked with responding to wildlife issues in their community, but standard operating procedures often stand in the way of achieving humane outcomes for wildlife. For instance, programs like trap-loan are well-intentioned, but in reality require unnecessary field response and agency resources, leave orphans behind, leave the root of the problem unaddressed, and inflict suffering on the very animals we work to protect.
Featuring the real agency experiences from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA), this webinar will provide the roadmap and resources needed to begin transforming the way your agency and community deals with wildlife. The benefits are humane outcomes for wildlife in your community, a reduced workload for officers in the field, and a greater awareness in the community about how to solve problems with wildlife.

Webinar - 7/19/22 - The Complexities of Domestic Violence and Animal Abuse - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
2022-07-19 12:00 - 13:15
In domestic violence scenarios, animals frequently suffer abuse alongside the human victims. This presentation addresses the complexities that can arise from cases in which a domestic violence victim is also the primary witness to the crime of companion animal abuse; including the challenging cases that appear to rely on one person’s word against the other person’s. The presentation will utilize a hypothetical to illustrate a common scenario involving both domestic violence and cruelty to animals, and then address specific common issues that arise for the law enforcement, prosecutors, and veterinarians involved.
Webinars in this Series with the ALDF include:

Jan 20: Partners in Investigating Animal Crimes
March 24: Responding to Animal Crimes through a Restorative Justice Approach
June 2: Tomorrow We Ride! Investigating and Processing Equine Cruelty Cases
July 19: The Complexities of Domestic Violence and Animal Abuse (this webinar)
