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 - 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

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 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

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/3/21 - Shaping Up Shaping. Presented by Dr. Karolina Westlund - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, the presenter will go over some of the ways she sees good trainers tweak their shaping sessions using completely different strategies depending on context. She will discuss: \n• Why the 80% rule is problematic. \n• Bold shaping. \n• Cautious shaping – pingponging. \n• How the 10 Laws of Shaping evolved into the Modern Principles of Shaping. \n• Some common shaping mistakes – and how to address them. \nShaping is the sharpest tool in the animal trainer’s box…theoretically.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/4/21 - The Hidden Life of Behavior Chains: Breaking\, Repairing\, and Maintaining Behavior Sequences - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Behavior chains are wonderfully simple–just use cues to reinforce cued behaviors–yet it’s so easy to get drawn into complexities. Especially when things start to go wrong\, we can get caught up in superstitions or wishful thinking (“If we just keep doing it\, he’ll start to get it right! Any moment now!”). \nLet’s talk about the care and feeding of behavior chains\, how to maintain them reliably and how to repair them efficiently when something goes wrong. We’ll even discuss when we might want to break them\, and of course how to build strong chains when we want to keep them. \nBy the end of this session\, you will know how to identify the broken link in a chain (which may not be the one which looks broken)\, how to keep chains reliable\, and how to test your chain before you assemble it. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars
