SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/5/23 - Circle Method for Basic Reactivity and Over Arousal (Part 2) - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is intended to provide advice\, interventions\, and skills for individuals working with reactive or overexcited dogs. “The circle method of Loose Leash Walking” will be used to help the behavior and emotional state of reactive and over-aroused dogs by allowing them to adjust to their environment\, reconnect with their handlers\, and become more emotionally comfortable in the presence of specific triggers. The method can be used regardless of food interest and does not require elaborate set-ups. The information presented will build upon the circle method of loose leash walking\, and will assume knowledge of that material. This webinar assumes professional or amateur trainers who can assimilate the information with a preexisting working knowledge of dog behavior\, reactivity and over-aroused behavior. \nNote: This webinar is back by popular demand. Please check your webinar library before purchasing. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/8/23 - First Impressions 101 – How Ritualized Introductions Can Turn a Scaredy Cat into a Social Butterfly - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Interactive cats who approach unfamiliar people in a friendly manner or remain relaxed as they are approached\, are much preferred by caregivers. In a shelter setting\, the more quickly cats approach potential adopters\, the sooner they get adopted. In contrast\, shelter cats who are less comfortable in the proximity of strangers have a mean length of stay as much as three times longer than that of their interactive counterparts and are more likely to be euthanized. Despite the risks for relatively fearful cats\, behavioral interventions for them rarely extend beyond environmental management and patience. \nAt Friends For Life Animal Shelter\, Melissa and colleagues have developed a simple\, novel\, and effective ritualized introduction method that trains undersocialized cats to display genuinely friendly and affectionate behavior towards new people. This protocol has been successful as a component of a socialization program for fearful cats\, and demonstrates a wider application for helping the typical “house feral” learn to look forward to meeting visitors in their home. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe how adoption programs can benefit from a structured approach towards socializing fearful shelter cats.\nOutline a step-by-step process for conditioning undersocialized cats to approach and solicit affection from new people in shelter and at home.\nIdentify components of a pre- and post- adoption support plan to ensure that fearful cat placements stick.\n\nAbout Your Presenter \nMelissa Taylor is the behavior and training manager at Friends For Life Animal Shelter in Houston\, Texas. She has logged more than 20 years in shelter animal behavior\, starting with an internship at the ASPCA’s Animal Behavior Center in New York City. She developed a lasting love for cooperative care from training livestock and wildlife as the coordinator of the Behavior and Training Department at the Houston SPCA\, and applies the same principles to the dogs\, cats\, exotics\, and humans she works with now at Friends For Life. \nOver the course of her career\, Melissa has focused on the development of shelter humane education programs\, particularly those for volunteers\, with the intention of mentoring new companion animal trainers and behavior consultants with practices steeped in evidence and based on building trust\, security\, and partnership. Melissa has started several shelter behavior volunteer programs and consults with other humane organizations on starting such initiatives of their own. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-5061308

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/10/23 - The Fear\, Anxiety & Stress Scale Deconstructed - Fear Free
DESCRIPTION:Wondering if the dog or cat you’re seeing should be scored on the Fear\, Anxiety & Stress (FAS) scale as FAS 2 or 3? This webinar can help! Fear Free’s FAS scale is a ubiquitous tool that provides veterinary and pet professionals with a consistent\, objective way to evaluate pets’ stress levels at any time in any environment. \nIn this webinar\, Fear Free’s Education Manager Lori Chamberland will take a closer look at each level of the FAS scale to empower you to score pets with greater confidence. You’ll watch video examples of pets at each level of the scale and discuss why it’s important to address stress early\, rather than waiting until FAS 3 or higher to intervene. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://fearfreepets.com/resources/webinars/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/12/23 - Hélène Lawler - Put Your Oxygen Mask On First: Living and Loving Dogs with Big Feelings - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:When our dogs have big feelings about the world\, they behave in ways that can make competing\, training\, and even daily life a challenge. \nThankfully\, there are now countless resources to help our dogs: Behaviourists\, training specialists\, medications\, on-line training and competing options\, gut-rebuilding protocols\, supplements\, massage and other body work\, and so much more! \nBut… What about YOU? \nWhat are you doing to support YOU? To help you with the anxiety\, stress\, grief\, disappointment\, fear\, or frustration that is also so often part of this picture? \nBecause\, what’s the point of moving heaven and earth to help Spot walk calmly down the street\, or up to a start line\, if you’re a miserable\, anxious mess at the other end of the leash? \nWe have dogs in our lives to bring us joy\, love\, and companionship. We do dog sports to have fun and find fulfillment through the process of taking that relationship to the next level. \nWhen our dogs struggle\, WE struggle. But it doesn’t have to be this way! It is possible to train yourself to feel calm and confident\, even when your dog does not. And when you feel good? You make better decisions\, have better response time\, and can even send some of that confidence down the leash to your dog. \nJoin me in this webinar to learn my unique\, step-by-step self-coaching process designed to help YOU help yourself feel peaceful\, calm and confident so that you can reclaim the joy of training. Even if your dog’s big feelings about the world never change (although\, quite often\, when we feel better\, so do they!) \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/18/23 - Breaking Down "Us vs. Them" Thinking to Build Stronger Connections - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Whether we realize it or not\, the polarization and uncertainty happening in society impacts every aspect of our lives\, including the workplace. When we feel that a core part of our values or our identity is threatened\, our instinct is often to contract\, to seek what feels comfortable\, predictable\, and safe. Yet it is precisely in these times when we need to expand\, to venture beyond the assumed safety of our comfort zones and echo chambers. We will explore 3 practices for expansion and how to broaden and diversify our social networks to make better decisions for our organizations. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/1-18-23

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/19/23 - Bodies of Evidence: Issues Arising from Search and Seizure of Animal Bodies in Cruelty Investigations - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:A law enforcement officer seizes a dying horse without a warrant. An abused animal is brought to a veterinarian for euthanasia and cremation\, but instead is necropsied. A law enforcement officer shields onlooking children from a cat’s body by placing it in a nearby dumpster. A veterinarian does a warrantless blood draw to diagnose a malnourished dog\, and the blood results are used in a criminal prosecution. In animal cruelty cases\, the animal’s body—whether dead or alive—is a crime scene. Many law enforcement professionals have not been trained to properly preserve and search that crime scene\, and yet they are forced to do so\, without compromising the evidence\, the defendant’s constitutional rights\, or the animal’s health or life. These cases present novel search and seizure issues. Join the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s attorneys David Rosengard\, Emily Lewis\, and Kathleen Wood to discuss how these and other issues can be resolved for a successful prosecution\, and how they can be addressed or avoided in future cases. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/bodies-of-evidence-issues-arising-from-search-and-seizure-of-animal-bodies-in-cruelty-investigations/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/19/23 - Suzanne Clothier - Quick – Hit PAUSE! Using Controlled Set-ups for Reactive Dogs - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Handlers of reactive dogs struggle to find ways to help their dogs feel less worried\, overwhelmed or pushed past their thresholds. But progress can be slow\, particularly if the dog continues to be triggered despite the handler’s best efforts. \nAs a behavior consultant\, I work with many handlers who are discouraged or frustrated. In many cases\, there are holes in the training plan. Inevitably\, the training falls apart\, the dog is triggered\, the handler is embarrassed or upset. Why does this happen so often? \nThis webinar dives into what you need to know to help reactive dogs through carefully controlled set-ups. \nTraining in the wild?\nPause button or uncontrolled variables?\nUnderstanding your dog’s triggers (visual\, auditory\, kinesthetic\, olfactory\, social\, chase)\nThe holy trinity of dog training: Distance\, intensity & duration\nUsing Line of View and Field of View in the real world \nIf you’ve ever wished for a PAUSE button on life to help your dog\, this webinar is for you. The practical information provided will help anyone create successful training moments. Find out why so many clients and their dogs have benefited from this sensible approach to thin slicing for success. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/25/23 - DPFL’s Approach to On-Leash Reactivity - Dogs Playing for Life
DESCRIPTION: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. From a misdiagnosis of “aggression” to dogs whose reactive behavior escalates to problematic and potentially unsafe levels\, learning how to help dogs suffering from reactivity issues is a crucial need shared by our entire industry. \nWhile this webinar can be attended as a standalone course\, we highly recommend attending our Fancy Footwork webinar first. 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. \nThis is a 1.5-hour presentation followed by a Q&A session of approximately 30 minutes (we’ll go longer if there are questions remaining). This webinar will NOT be recorded and is scheduled on EASTERN TIME. \nThis webinar holds 500 attendees\, so register in advance\, 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_ap6COGGKRCqV7urAGbyFbg

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/31/23 - Dr. Eduardo Fernandez: Training as Enrichment: A Critical Review - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Husbandry training and environmental enrichment are both important advancements associated with current behavioral welfare practices. Additionally\, the use of training procedures has been proposed as a form of enrichment\, with the implication that training can produce beneficial behavioral welfare results. Less clear are the specific testable ways in which training can be demonstrated to be enriching\, beyond simply providing opportunities to be enriched. \nThis presentation examines the concept of training as enrichment through three distinct ways training procedures could enrich: (1) training facilitates enrichment usage\, (2) training modifies interactions\, conspecific or otherwise\, and (3) training expands behavioral repertoires. Within each category\, I discuss past research that provides empirical support for training functioning as enrichment\, as well as related areas of research that provide additional evidence. Previous studies support the claim that training is enriching\, with additional research necessary to better understand how prevalent and under what conditions training procedures function as enrichment. Future training research should examine these potential enrichment effects\, including methodology that allows for comparisons to traditional enrichment\, the use of welfare diversity/variability indices\, and the effects of learning on trainers and trainees alike. \nAbout the Presenter \nEduardo J. Fernandez is a Senior Lecturer of Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare in the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at the University of Adelaide (Australia). He received his Ph.D. in Psychology (minors in Neuroscience and Animal Behavior) from Indiana University\, where he worked with the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Zoo. He received his M.S. in Behavior Analysis from the University of North Texas\, where he founded the Organization for Reinforcement Contingencies with Animals (ORCA). Most of his past and current work involves behavioral research applied to the welfare and training of zoo\, aquarium\, and companion animals. His past positions include a Visiting Professorship at Seattle Pacific University\, a Visiting Professorship in the School of Behavior Analysis at the Florida Institute of Technology\, an Affiliate Assistant Professorship in the Psychology Department at the University of Washington\, a Research Fellowship with Woodland Park Zoo\, and a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. While working with UW and the Woodland Park Zoo\, he started the Behavioral Enrichment Animal Research (BEAR) group\, which conducted welfare research with many of the species and exhibits located throughout the zoo. He currently runs the Operant Welfare Lab (OWL)\, which is dedicated to the use of learning principles to improve the lives of animals across many settings\, including exotic animals in zoos and companion animals in homes and shelters. OWL is also part of the broader Animal Behaviour\, Welfare\, and Anthrozoology Lab (ABWAL; abwal.com). Many of Eduardo’s past publications\, research projects\, and presentations can be found on his ResearchGate profile: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Eduardo_Fernandez18 \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-5064548

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/1/23 - Responding to Subtle Acts of Exclusion & Microaggressions - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever heard the phrase\, “death by a thousand paper cuts?” It’s not only blatant acts of bias that exclude or discriminate against people from minoritized populations. It’s often the more subtle acts of exclusion\, also known as microinequities or microaggressions\, that are equally if not more harmful. These behaviors on the surface may seem insignificant\, for example: \n\nfrequently interrupting the same people during conversations\nconsistently forgetting or mispronouncing a person’s name\nusing coded or stereotypical language\noverlooking someone’s work but praising another’s\n\nRegardless of the intentions of the message sender\, the impact of such actions are often deeply felt by the receiver\, especially if they have been on the receiving end of exclusionary treatment many times before. This session will help you recognize some common microaggressions\, understand the impact of such actions\, and develop techniques to respond effectively when they occur. \n(“Microaggression” by Giulia Forsythe / CC 2.0) \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/2-01-23

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/3/23 - Deaf Dogs Unleashed with Tiffany Baker - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Introducing The Control Unleashed (CU) Program\, Deaf Dog Style: Deaf Dogs Unleashed! The CU program\, developed by Leslie McDevitt\, was designed to help dogs learn how to relax and focus in challenging environments\, while simultaneously building confidence by giving the learner control through predictable patterns in an otherwise unpredictable environment. \nAfter implementing the CU exercises creatively and effectively with a few different deaf dog clients\, it became clear that there was a need for these ideas to be shared. And so Control Unleashed for deaf dogs was born. Training with deaf dogs can sometimes be a challenge; the need for attention and engagement from our dogs is crucial when our dogs rely so heavily on visual cues. There’s also the added difficulty our deaf dogs experience with Sudden Environmental Contrast (SEC)\, as well as a more pronounced startle response when things appear unexpectedly. When things happen in their environment\, unpredictably\, and outside of their control\, it can create increased anxiety and make it difficult for our pups to relax. What better way to provide our deaf dogs with the support they need to navigate their world than The Control Unleashed program? \nThroughout this presentation you will get to experience The Control Unleashed program thoughtfully and creatively customized and purposefully geared towards our beloved deaf dogs. This will include introducing unique visual and tactile cues\, combined with predictable patterns to build a beautiful recipe for engagement and confidence. We will be navigating the skills to implement the popular “Look At That” conversational game for ‘reactive’ dogs\, as well as many of the foundational patterns that build voluntary engagement and predictability such as Up-Down\, Ping-pong\, Give Me A Break\, Whiplash U-turn\, and 1-2-3. We will also take a look at what real life application of this program looks like for our deaf dogs\, and much more. \nWhether you are a deaf dog guardian\, or a trainer looking to add tools to your toolbox to better assist your clientele\, this one’s for you. The purpose of this presentation is to expand the reach of The Control Unleashed program to provide attendees the resources\, education\, and skills to bring these beneficial life changing patterns and exercises to the deaf dogs of the world. Get ready to open up a new conversation of empowerment with your deaf dog! \nLearning Objectives: \n\nAn understanding of the basic mechanics of training with a deaf dog including visual markers\, forms of praise\, and end of session signals such as a hand flash\, thumbs up\, the “all done” ASL hand wave.\nThe skills to teach and understanding of these foundational pattern games modified for deaf dogs: Up-down\, Ping PongWhiplash U-turn\, Give Me A Break\, and 1-2-3.\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/7/23 - Veterinary Care in Shelters: Who can legally do what? - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:Is your shelter fully leveraging the veterinary care capabilities of your entire team? When it comes to veterinary care in animal shelters\, it’s crucial to make sure the right person does the right job—and the right person doesn’t always have to be a DVM or RVT! \nIf you’ve ever wondered:\n• Can vaccines be administered during hold periods?\n• Who can give a Rabies vaccine\, and under what type of supervision?\n• What if we don’t have a veterinarian on site – can we use standing protocols?\n• Is microchipping or administering snap tests the practice of veterinary medicine? \nThis webinar is for you! Join Bruce Wagman\, Lead Counsel for San Francisco SPCA’s Shelter Policy and Legal Services (Shelter PALS)\, to maximize your shelter’s options for providing veterinary care while adhering to law and practice act requirements. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of which shelter tasks team members can perform\, from intake-related care and running diagnostics to providing treatment\, surgery\, euthanasia\, public veterinary services and emergency care. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5WHs_GvEQRO6ZHr4XkHycA\n
