SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/13/21 - All About Behavior: How to Approach Behavior Cases in General Practice - HSVMA

During this behavior webinar we will explore the process of diagnosing common behavior problems in dogs and cats and outline the steps needed when creating and implementing a behavior plan. We will discuss the difference between a primary behavioral problem and a training issue and which cases we should handle and which we should refer to a behaviorist. \nOther topics Dr. Calder will discuss during this presentation include: \n\nThe various behavioral tools available to facilitate management\nHow to identify appropriate trainers and other certified professionals to aid in the treatment of behavior problems\nBehavioral euthanasia and how to develop a prognosis\n\nWe hope you’ll join us for this important welfare-focused webinar. \nThis webinar is approved for 1.5 hours of RACE CE credits for veterinarians and veterinary technicians (medical/interactive category).

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/14/21 - Psychopharmacology: Prescribing for Canine and Feline Patients - ACVB (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Many indications for psychotropic medications exist\, including generalized anxiety\, separation anxiety\, panic disorders\, persistent phobias\, compulsive disorders and more. Daily drugs are given as such – every day\, regardless of events\, season\, or stress level. Patients on daily psychotropic medications may still be in need of additional help to alleviate panic\, fear and/or anxiety during predictable\, situational events\, as the daily medications may not be enough to control intense spike in stress levels. Other patients who display distress only as a result of known\, predictable triggers\, such as fireworks\, car travel or thunderstorms\, may benefit from an event medication alone. This lecture will give an overview of the main classes of drugs used for daily and as needed treatment of emotional disorders in dogs and cats – how they work\, what the therapeutic expectations are for each\, and what side effects may be expected. Drug interactions\, adverse effects\, and weaning protocols will also be discussed. \nDr. Meghan Herron is the Senior Director of Behavioral Medicine Research\, Education\, and Outreach at Gigi’s – A Shelter Organization dedicated to improving the lives of shelter dogs. Prior to her current position\, she spent over a decade as head of the Behavioral Medicine Service at The Ohio State University. She graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine and became board-certified as diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists after completing a residency at the University of Pennsylvania. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/5985218351663722252

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/20/21 - How Cognitive Biases Interfere with How We Acquire Knowledge - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:CEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 1\, IAABC 1\, KPA 1 \nGiven how behaviorists\, ethologists\, neuroscientists and veterinarians often get into conflict\, this talk discusses how our cognitive biases impact knowledge acquisition. Cognitive biases makes us reject information that we should accept\, and accept information that we should reject. In this talk\, the presenter will discuss a handful of them: \n\nThe curse of knowledge.\nAuthority bias.\nThe illusory truth effect.\nThe availability cascade.\nTribal epistemology.\nConfirmation bias.\nThe Semmelweiss effect. The backfire effect.\nReactance.\nThe Dunning-Kruger effect.\n\nThe aim of this session is to open attendees’ minds more to how biases come about and how problematic this is – and facilitate those difficult discussions with people who have other backgrounds. \nLevel of difficulty: Beginner – Intermediate (not difficult concepts but to many people a lot of new terms\, maybe) \nAbout Your Presenter \nProf. Karolina Westlund helps pet parents and animal professionals attain happier animals that thrive in the care of humans. She grew up pining for a kitten and pestered her parents until they finally gave in. The resulting black\, green-eyed\, half-Siamese cat she got for her seventh birthday became a true friend who lived to be 21 years old but was an easily startled cat who often went into hiding when there were visitors. She had grand ideas about becoming a field biologist\, but instead she majored in ethology and developed a passionate interest in animal welfare as seen through a multidisciplinary lens\, including behaviour analysis and affective neuroscience. She is now an associate professor of ethology at the University of Stockholm\, Sweden where she mainly teaches about how behavior management can be used to improve animal welfare. She also conducts live seminars\, free online webinars and masterclasses in addition to more extensive courses\, as well as the occasional scientific publication on the topic of enrichment\, animal training and well-being. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4300656

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/28/21 - Solving Problems with Bears and Cougars - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Sightings of and conflicts with bears and cougars are becoming more and more common in urban and suburban areas across the U.S. Responding to the public’s concerns about these wild neighbors can be especially difficult\, given the greater potential for dangerous encounters between these predators and people. This webinar will provide an overview on the biology and ecology of these animals\, how to make yards and neighborhoods less attractive to them\, how to reduce conflicts with people and pets\, which situations necessitate a response\, and how to handle problems if they arise. \nPresenter: \nAs Director of Humane Wildlife Conflict Resolution for The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)\, Lynsey White helps urban and suburban communities find effective and humane solutions to conflicts with species such as coyotes\, Canada geese\, white-tailed deer\, and beavers. She also runs the Wild Neighbors program\, which provides animal care and control professionals with resources\, trainings\, and consultation in the adoption of humane policies and practices for responding to calls about wildlife. Her background includes completing coyote research and data analysis for The Cook County Coyote project in Chicago\, Illinois\, and publishing an analysis of coyote attacks on people throughout the U.S. and Canada. Lynsey has a Master of Science degree in Conservation Biology & Sustainable Development and a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology and has led wildlife conflict resolution trainings for thousands of animal care and control professionals across the U.S. and beyond. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/solving-problems-with-bears-and-cougars/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/28/21 - Personality in Dogs - Dr. Kristina Spaulding\, PhD\, CAAB - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Personality is all about individual differences in dogs and can help explain why some dogs react to life so differently than others. How is personality measured? What personality traits have been found in dogs? How consistent is personality over time? And how does all of this help you when working with dogs? We’ll explore all of these questions and more in this one-hour webinar. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDefine personality and explain why it’s important for training and behavior\nSummarize what is known about personality in dogs\nDescribe how consistent personality traits such as aggression are over time\nApply this information to training and behavior work\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4500318

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/28/21 - Sharon Carroll - Strategies for Training the Atypical Dog - Part 1: Concepts and Overview - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:This is Part One of a two-part webinar on working with “atypical” dogs. Both webinars are stand-alone webinars covering a different aspect of this topic\, but they combine to cover the topic more broadly. \nWhen we train our dogs\, we are constantly asking them to solve puzzles. We are asking them to connect the dots between the cue (context cue or human initiated verbal / visual cue)\, their subsequent behavior (action)\, and the reinforcement. As our dog becomes more confident about the connection between these elements\, they can respond more rapidly and with improved accuracy. \nDuring the learning process there will be moments of frustration and confusion. Typical dogs deal with small amounts of frustration and confusion in a way that helps them find a solution to the puzzle. This leads to the dog attaining reinforcement\, which results in them putting in the same or greater effort on future learning-oriented tasks. \nAtypical dogs however do not respond in the same way. For a range of underlying reasons\, the training puzzle itself may cause an excessive spike in arousal in these dogs. This is commonly referred to as the dog “stressing down” or “stressing up” depending on the observable behaviors. “Stressing down” behaviors may include shutting-down\, stalling\, looking away\, appearing disinterested\, freezing\, moving slowly\, or performing avoidance\, escape\, appeasement\, or displacement behaviors. “Stressing up” behaviors may include barking at the human or at the task\, whining\, performing rapid sequences of random un-cued behaviors\, anticipating cues\, spinning\, doing zoomies\, lacking focus\, and attempting to guess at the solution with little thought. \nBeyond training pressures\, these dogs may also struggle more than usual with environmental pressures. All dogs need a certain amount of desensitization and distraction training in order to successfully function in bigger environments\, but the atypical dog may be extremely aware of stimuli in the environment. This requires additional training steps and more detailed monitoring. \nIn this “Part One” webinar we discuss: \n\nThe underlying factors that contribute to the development of an atypical dog\, including genetic traits and the impact of prior learning.\nWays to identify the difference between a simple training gap\, and a more complex problem.\nWhen to use classical conditioning versus operant conditioning.\nMethods for measuring the proportional impact the environment is having on our dog’s behavior.\n\nWe also look at a range of solutions that can create a more focused\, happier\, and more consistently successful training partner. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

This requires additional training steps and more detailed monitoring. \nIn this “Part Two” webinar we look at a wide range of specific examples from a variety of different sports. Including: \n\nObject retrieve (moving slowly\, displacement sniffing at the object before picking up or instead of picking up\, dropping the object or stalling on the return)\nRetrieving incorrect articles in scent article exercises or in directed retrieves.\nFalse alerts and missed hides in nose work.\nArcing in straight line exercises such as recalls or retrieves.\nBreaking start line stays in agility.\nMissing position change cues at a distance.\nInconsistency\, slowing\, stalling\, or avoidance in weave poles.\nNeeding repeated cues or wandering off during rally\, obedience\, agility.\nPerforming zoomies or “visiting” ring crew\, judges\, stewards\, spectators\, other dogs during training / competing.\nHesitating on the approach to contacts or blowing through contacts in agility.\nAnd more!\n\nFor each example we discuss the varied reasons these behaviors may occur\, along with solutions for resolving these issues. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars
