SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/10/22 - Don’t Get Burned by Blazing Clickers - Dr. Susan G. Friedman - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Trainers in the Karen Pryor tradition have learned that when a clicker is used correctly it precisely marks the animal’s behavior that controls reinforcer. Further\, behavior is strengthened when the clicks become a reliable predictor of backup reinforcement. This is accomplished by ensuring that every click is followed by a well-established reinforcer. However\, some trainers repeatedly mark behavior without backing up the marker\, a practice we call blazing clickers. Blazing clickers weaken the predictive value of the marker\, resulting in slower learning\, increased aggression\, and giving up. In this presentation\, the science-based rationale for following every click with a backup reinforcer will be reviewed\, and we will explore the faulty reasoning often used to support the practice of blazing clickers. With this information\, you will be better able to teach others why and how to avoid getting burned by blazing clickers. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.dog-ibox.com/live-webinars/live-webinars-english-c-34.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/10/22 - Reactive Integration: Putting Pieces Together with Karen Deeds - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:An integrated approach for developing a behavior modification plan when working with fearful and reactive dogs. \nReactivity: The label given to dogs that present with growling\, barking\, lunging\, squealing\, jumping up and down\, or even redirecting to the leash or to the handler at the sight of a trigger\, whether that be another dog\, a person\, or anything else! \nWhen working with reactive dogs\, I believe in an integrated approach…Reinforcement strategies\, changing emotion\, teaching alternative behaviors\, impulse control that creates predictability\, confidence building\, and of course a vast array of behavior modification techniques is all part of the plan. In this way\, you can build a stronger foundation on which behavior modification can be applied. We all know that a weak foundation in anything\, a home\, a relationship\, dog sports\, or dog behavior\, can contribute to weakness in the long run. \nThis webinar will give an overview of the integrated approach taken for working with reactive and fearful dogs. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar Series - 2/26/22\, 3/5/22\, and 3/12/22 - The Holy Trinity of Behavior\, Environment & Sociability Behind the Human-Canine Partnership - Puppyworks (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:How the Holy Trinity of Behavior\, Environment & Sociability of dogs and humans creates a unique relationship which you can use to improve your time and activities together. \nMore than a webinar\, we’ll provide an interactive\, behind-closed-doors experience for attendees to see the interconnectedness of the Dog\, the Human & the Environment\, in part from attendee submitted videos. \nSession One: Saturday February 26\, 2022  ​- HOW YOUR BEHAVIOR MATTERS:\nHuman Sociability – Behavior\, Temperament\, Attitudes & Perception.\nWhat do you\, as a biological organism\, bring to the relationship? How the health and attitudes\, including human temperament of the handler (their own sociability) affect their dogs\, and how biological differences affect perception: for example: dogs hear many things (high frequency) that we do not; and dogs smell far more than we do\, smells that dogs never evolved to\, and that distract them or give them information we are not privy to. You see more 3D\, and you see colors they do not. \nWhat do you bring to the relationship as the trainer?\nAttitudes\, biases\, and experiences all affect the dog-human relationship: most importantly\, confirmation bias; and the brain’s tendency to search for the urgent over the important (crisis survival vs. long term). How human anxiety may inadvertently affect canine behavior. How training timing\, reactions and cognition delays\, all affect how you and your dog interact. \nThere is no other interspecies relationship on Earth like that of the dog and the human.\nNothing rivals the dogs’ co-evolution with humans and our species unparalleled willingness to sacrifice for them. That includes the ability to genetically modify dogs\, and to know what we can change and what we cannot\, money to fix ailing dogs\, to modify diets\, and to otherwise manipulate the interactions. We also created a partner that actively manipulates us. It is no coincidence that dog parks are at such an annoying frequency and look so darned cute to us. \nSession Two: Saturday March 5\, 2022  ​- WHY ENVIRONMENT MATTERS:\nHow Genetics\, Perceptions and Behaviors Interact with the Environment.\nThe environment messes with everything! Dogs and humans each take in the environment differently\, and the environment interacts with expression of our dog’s and our own genetic traits. \nHow the environment affects biology:\nWhat kinds of traits are inheritable and how much does environment affect them? In particular\, how much of your dog’s personality is fixed\, such as sociability or aggression or curiosity or trainability? How much does the environment affect your dog’s hormones that force its behaviors? Do dogs create pheromones that manipulate us? \nHome\, Sweet Home—from your dog’s viewpoint and yours. \nIt is important that your dog has a home\, right? But does your dog value or want the same things you want in a home? What would they pick if they had a choice? A place filled with couches? A few boulders with a hole underneath? How do they view their home? How different might your dog be if he or she lived with you in a completely different neighborhood\, or moved from a rural environment into the heart of a city or from your city to one on the other side of the globe? \nThe expanded environment—everything away from home. \nSure\, you and your dog love home. What changes when you leave with your dog\, and why you should care. Travel to you and travel to your dog are unlikely to be the same. You know you are off to camp in the mountains. How does your dog know it is not another trip to the vet to get stiches or a cast or… \nSession Three: Saturday March 12\, 2022  – SOCIABILITY IN DOGS:\nCanine Biology\, Behavior & Sociability.\nWhat limits\, capabilities\, and opportunities does the dog\, as a biological organism\, bring to the relationship? \n\nAges and stages of the dog\nWhy breed type matters\nWhy sociability matters.\n\nThere are many ways to assess sociability in shelter dogs\, but less proven ways of assessing it in owned dogs\, since the human-environment so confounds dog behaviors. Sue and Tim hope to get closer to measuring sociability in the owned dog during this webinar series!  And there may soon be genetic tests for sociability as well. \n\nAre we prioritizing sociability enough in breeding? How inheritable is sociability? How do we measure it?\nHow close are we to fully assessing the recent discovery of a dog genomic region matching one in humans who have a syndrome involving hyper-social behavior? Could this lead to more predictability of behavior in the future?\nWhy sociability is the best insurance policy\, given biological limits\, environmental uncertainties\, and humans…well…being human.\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.puppyworks.com/partnership

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/17/22 - What Vintage is that Hot Dog? Identifying High Value Reinforcers with Moira Hechenleitner - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Do you wonder what’s your dog’s favorite food? Or favorite reinforcer of another type when food isn’t enough? Have you unsuccessfully tried to use food toys filled with peanut butter to work on challenging situations? Are you starting to believe that your dog might just not be food motivated when exposing him to more complex experiences and/or environments? Do you have a hard time identifying what your dog really wants? \nThe value of a reinforcement is often proportionally inverse to how challenging is a situation\, and there are not only individual preferences\, but also different perceptions of how challenging a determine stimulus can be. \nThrough a “treat tasting” you can objectively measure which foods are within the top five of your dog’s favorites\, and you can successfully and strategically use them to work on different situations\, not only enhancing the counter-conditioning process\, but also increasing the dog’s motivation. \nAnd by learning how to correctly use techniques such as desensitization and counter-conditioning\, and what food or reinforcer are appropriate for each case and situation you can avoid the risk of poisoning food\, and therefore increase the likelihood of success. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/24/22 - Responding to Animal Crimes Through a Restorative Justice Approach - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:As a broad category of penological response that aims to repair the harms crime inflicts on victims\, hold offenders accountable\, and promote resilient communities\, restorative justice has venerable roots. Nonetheless\, the explicit application of restorative justice approaches within the USA’s criminal justice system is quite young – and all but unheard of as applied to crimes with animal victims: abuse\, neglect\, animal fighting\, and animal sexual exploitation. Join Animal Legal Defense Fund criminal justice attorneys for an exploration – rooted in emergent scholarship – of the role restorative justice could play in our legal system’s response to animal cruelty. \nThis session will begin by summarizing the history and current use of restorative justice in the context of the USA’s criminal justice system. Next\, we will examine the ways that a restorative justice framework focuses on animals as the inherent victims of animal cruelty—and therefore as the party who is most in need of an outcome that acknowledges their suffering and – to the extent possible – restores their well-being. Finally\, we will outline what a restorative justice framework might look like as applied to animal cruelty cases – and how it could be drawn on as an option impactful for victims\, offenders\, and communities\, building empathy\, reducing recidivism\, and increasing rehabilitation. \nPresenters\nJessica Chapman\nAs a Criminal Justice Program Fellow for the ALDF\, Jessica Chapman works with the department to address crimes against animals\, partnering with stakeholders across the criminal justice system to resolve both the impetus and impact of animal cruelty. \nJessica earned a B.A. from the University of California\, Berkeley where she double majored in Slavic Languages and Literature and Native American Studies (honors). She earned a J.D. (cum laude) from Michigan State University College of Law\, where Jessica received the 2020 Wanda Nash Award from the Animal Law Section of the Michigan State Bar. Jessica earned an Animal law L.L.M. (magna cum laude) from Lewis & Clark Law School. While at Lewis & Clark\, she was awarded the inaugural 2021 Outstanding Animal Law L.L.M. Graduate Award and earned placement in the Cornelius Honor Society. \nJessica shares her home with two dogs named Patch and Landa. The brothers enjoy hiking through mountains\, camping trips\, and discovering the world together. \nDavid Rosengard\nAs a senior staff attorney in the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s Criminal Justice Program\, David Rosengard works with stakeholders across the criminal justice system to pursue justice on behalf of animal cruelty victims. One of his focus areas is amicus briefs\, where he raises appellate-level arguments aimed at enabling courts to reach decisions that not only address the needs of the animals involved in individual cases\, but to also better position animals as a whole within the law. David additionally helms the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s groundbreaking work helping animals who have been harmed by criminal cruelty achieve the legal status of crime victims\, including efforts to expand Courtroom Animal Advocate Programs which allow pro bono attorneys and law students to act as counsel for those animal crime victims in court. \nDavid co-edited and contributed to the second edition of Animal Law in a Nutshell and has published law review articles aimed at assisting prisoners in securing vegan meals (“Three Hots and a Cot and a Lot of Talk”: Discussing Federal Rights-Based Avenues for Prisoner Access to Vegan Meals) as well as illuminating the critical impact legal recognition of animal sentience has on constitutional considerations (A Dog is Not a Stereo: The Role of Animal Sentience in Determining the Scope of Owner Privacy Interests Under Oregon Law). David also teaches animal law at his alma mater—Lewis & Clark Law School\, where he graduated twice with honors\, as both a J.D. and an Animal Law LL.M. student. While a student at Lewis & Clark Law School\, David clerked for the Center for Animal Law Studies\, Co-Directed L&C’s Student ALDF chapter\, worked in Kenya on wildlife and animal cruelty issues\, was an Animal Law Review Editor-in-Chief\, and represented the state of Oregon in criminal court on behalf of the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office as a certified law student. \nPrior to embarking on his legal career\, David earned a B.A. with honors in History and Gender Studies from Claremont McKenna College\, and worked in higher education\, where he focused on sexual assault prevention and response\, peer counseling\, crisis management\, co-curricular education\, sex-blind housing programs\, and community justice. \nDavid lives in Saint Helens\, Oregon with his spouse and a bevy of rescue animals: two cats (Aldor and Papaya) and three dogs (Ace Octavus\, Ellie May\, and Puck). \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/responding-to-animal-crimes-through-a-restorative-justice-approach/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/30/22 - Introduction to a Quality of Life App for Animal Shelters - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Quality of Life reflects the balance between positive and negative emotions experienced by an animal and is particularly important to consider in animal shelters where animals can face a myriad of stressors. Quality of Life assessments provide a methodological approach to scoring welfare. They can include physiological measurements and owner-completed questionnaires. In the shelter\, Quality of Life assessments can help shelters to identify animals with poor welfare so they can be fast-tracked for intervention and track changes in the welfare of individual animals during their shelter stay. However\, most of the existing quality-of-life assessment tools are not suitable for the shelter environment. Many of the tools require the assessor to have a thorough understanding of the animal’s typical behavior and preferences\, a prerequisite that is hard to meet in the shelter environment and fail to capture important environmental parameters that are unique to the shelter environment. \nThe Penn Vet Quality of Life Tool app was developed to provide animal shelters with a practical\, research-based method of assessing the quality of life of cats and dogs in their care. The assessment covers three areas of animal welfare: environment\, behavior\, and physical health. Attendees will learn about the development of the Penn Vet Quality of Life Tool\, the contents of the assessment\, and the data produced by the app\, including the quality-of-life scores and figures. The talk will include preliminary data about the tool’s use in animal shelters and discuss future plans for the app. \nThis session is part of the Shelter Medicine series\, a collaboration between the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement. \nThis live and recorded program is: \n\nApproved for 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit\nPending approval for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/sheltermed-3-30-22

SUMMARY:Webinar – 3/30/22 – No one told me about Teenaged Dogs and Cats! What to expect in these developmental stages – ACVB
DESCRIPTION:Pet guardians enroll their puppies and kittens in socialization classes with the hopes of bringing up a well-rounded social pet; good with people\, other animals and being in different environments. However\, sometimes these pets still go through a “difficult” developmental period and can exhibit behavioral problems. Can something be done to prevent this occurrence? What should we expect as our adolescent dogs and cats go through the life stages after socialization? How do we manage and work with them? This webinar will answer these questions and more! \nDr. Wailani Sung has a passion for helping owners prevent or effectively manage behavior problems in companion animals\, enabling them to maintain a high quality of life. Dr. Sung obtained her Master’s degree and Doctorate in Psychology\, with a special interest in animal behavior from The University of Georgia. Upon completion of these graduate programs\, she obtained a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine\, then board certification in veterinary behavioral medicine. Dr. Sung is currently the Director of Behavior and Welfare programs at the San Francisco SPCA. In this position\, Dr. Sung contributes to the management and treatment of the behavioral needs of the shelter pets at the San Francisco SPCA. She also oversees the shelter behavior program and also provides behavioral consultations at the Behavior Specialty Clinic located at the San Francisco SPCA. She does not consider any patient or problem hopeless\, and her treatment protocols are based on scientific information about animal behavior\, psychopharmacology\, and learning theory. \nDr. Sung frequently lectures on managing common behavioral issues and consults with veterinary practices to design programs and train staff in best practices for making vet visits less stressful and developing treatment protocols for patients with behavioral issues. Dr. Sung also provide consultations to shelter and rescue organizations. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/5727838076149537547

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/5/22 and 4/13/22 - Alternatives to Declaw - CVMA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, we will explore how cat scratching—a normal feline behavior—can lead to one of two unwanted consequences: either the owner seeks a permanent solution and asks for a surgical solution known as “declawing\,” or the animal is rehomed or surrendered to a shelter. We will address the importance of cats performing normal behaviors\, such as appropriate opportunities to scratch\, and will explore humane solutions that are based in understanding the nature of this behavior. We will learn how correct tools\, techniques\, and newly developed products can positively impact the human-animal bond. This presentation aims to provide the veterinarian with talking points for a welfare-centered communication with owners of cats with scratching problems\, hopefully eliminating the need for the very controversial surgical approach. \nDates and Times\nTuesday\, April 5\, 2022 | 5:30 PM-6:45 PM\nRegistration\, cancellation\, and substitution deadline: March 29\, 2022 \nWednesday\, April 13\, 2022| 12:30 PM-1:45 PM\nRegistration\, cancellation\, and substitution deadline: April 6\, 2022 \nSpeaker\n\nJeannine Berger\, DVM\, DACVB\, DACAW\, CAWA \nDr. Jeannine Berger is one of the few veterinarians that is double-boarded with the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists as well as the American College for Animal Welfare.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/12/22 - The Future Is Four: The Right Place - Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Some animals would be best served by shelter admission\, while others would be better served outside shelter walls. The Right Place is the place that provides the best possible outcome in the most humane and efficient way and may include the animal’s current home\, community\, foster or finder’s home\, partner organizations or the shelter. Determining the Right Place depends on the needs of the animal\, the capacity of the shelter\, and also the capacity and willingness of the community member who brings the animal to our attention. In this webinar\, Drs. Cindy Karsten and Chumkee Aziz will guide you through the framework that allows you to remove decision fatigue and get animals where they need to be—or help them right where they are. \nThis webinar is part 1 of “The Future Is Four: The Right Care in the Right Place at the Right Time to the Right Outcome Right Place” series. Register once for these four sessions\, which will be recorded. \nPresenters:\nCynthia (Cindy) Karsten\, DVM\, Outreach Veterinarian\nThroughout her KSMP career\, Dr. Karsten has helped to identify and implement best practice protocols and capacity for care models at shelters across the United States and Canada. Dr. Karsten’s recent work has focused on leading shelter medicine Bootcamps\, concentrated six-week courses for shelter leaders. The Bootcamps combine online learning with twice-weekly Zoom meetings at which participants can ask questions of KSMP experts and share their own experiences with peers making change at other shelters. \nDr. Karsten became board certified in Shelter Medicine Practice in November\, 2017. Her main areas of interest include teaching and mentoring undergraduate and veterinary students\, working with shelter leaders on change management\, and providing accessible\, affordable veterinary care to everyone who seeks it. She also continues to work to understand her role and that of animal shelters in increasing awareness of social justice issues and implementing policies to bring about equity. \nMehnaz (Chumkee) Aziz\, DVM\, Outreach Veterinarian\n Chumkee obtained her DVM degree at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in 2012. She then completed an internship at the ASPCA’s Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in NYC in 2013\, which included experience in anti-cruelty work and shelter medicine. Chumkee was a resident at the KSMP from 2013-2016.She headed the Northern Tier Shelter Initiative and served as Senior Director of Shelter Medicine Services at the ASPCA before returning to the KSMP in January\, 2022 as an outreach veterinarian. \nHer current interests include the role of community collaboration in mitigating pet homelessness\, proactive shelter population management\, and infectious disease prevention in shelters. \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddiesfund-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9UHVkuKcQbumXhwr-Y9puw
