Webinar - 9/8/22 - Maddie's Insights: What laboratory studies may tell us about stress in a dog shelter - Maddie's Fund
2022-09-08 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
Maddie’s Insights are monthly webcasts with practical tips based on current research to help pets and people.
This month, Dr. Michael Hennessy, Professor of Psychology, Wright State University, will be joined by Regina Willen, Founder and Director at HALO K9 Behavior. They will discuss how basic scientific research informs our understanding of the stress dogs undergo in a shelter environment. They will examine immediate effects of entry to a shelter as well as potential long-term consequences. How basic research findings suggest practicable means for reducing or preventing these outcomes will also be considered.
After the webcast, join us on Maddie’s Pet Forum to continue the discussion and exchange ideas: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastStress
This webinar will be recorded and has been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association.

Presenters
Michael Hennessy, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Wright State University
Dr. Hennessy is a behavioral neuroscientist with interests in both basic laboratory research on stress and how this research can be applied to reduce the impact of stress on dogs in animal shelters. He is currently Professor of Psychology at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. He earned his PhD in experimental psychology at Northern Illinois University and then completed post-doctoral training and served as Research Associate in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. He subsequently held the position of Research Psychologist at SRI International, and since coming to Wright State, has had stints as a visiting scholar at both the California National Primate Research Center at the University of California, Davis and the Department of Behavioral Biology at the University of Muenster in Muenster, Germany.
Dr. Hennessy’s basic research focuses primarily on how psychological stressors impact neural and hormonal systems, how social factors can enhance or reduce these stress responses, and the lasting impact of stress in early life on later neural and psychological function. His work with dogs is focused entirely on finding means of reducing the stress of shelter housing and its impact on behavior and adoption success.
Dr. Hennessy has served on the American Psychological Association’s Committee on Animal Research and Ethics, which he chaired in 2018. He is past president of the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology and is a member of the editorial board of the journal Developmental Psychobiology.

Webinar - 9/8/22 - Touchy Heely: Contact Heeling for Ringsport, Behavior Work and Life! - FDSA (fee applies)
2022-09-08 15:00 - 16:00
Contact heeling” means teaching your dog to maintain physical contact with your body while also allowing them the freedom to look around. You might be moving, standing still, sitting in a chair, or completing a task, and your dog will press against you to maintain contact! While originally trained for the Sports of French and Mondio Ring, this skill is useful in crowded environments, during training classes, or between working exercises…anywhere dogs frequently lose contact with their handler. In behavior work, contact heeling can allow both you and your dog to observe the environment while simultaneously retaining physical awareness of each other. So many uses!
Unlike precision heeling, there is no expectation of eye contact or a precise position at the handler’s side. Indeed, the dog can be taught to rotate all the way around the handler – the only criteria is continuous physical contact. As a result, contact heeling can be relaxing and enjoyable for both parties.
Sound useful? It is! Join Denise Fenzi and learn how she teaches contact heeling, along with a discussion of the varied ways she uses this skill in both training and in daily life.

Webinar - 9/14/22 - Supported Self-Rehoming Without Surrendering: Setting Up Supportive Services with Safety and Success - HASS
2022-09-14 15:00 - 16:00
Approximately a quarter of animals enter animal shelters under the intake type called “owner surrender.” Pet parents often do not know how to safely and successfully rehome their pets themselves. Supported self-rehoming is a great way for organizations to give pet parents who can no longer keep their pets the tools they need to safely rehome their own pets with ongoing support from shelter staff and volunteers. Supported self-rehoming not only gives pet parents an opportunity to be a part of selecting a new family and the potential for continued communication after, it also reduces the number of family pets who unnecessarily have to live in a kennel, taking a valuable space away from another pet in need.
Join us for an info-packed webinar where our speakers, Kaycey Adair from Greenville County Animal Services, Ana De Luccia from Adopt-A-Pet and Lucy Fernandez from Austin Pets Alive!, will highlight how organizations can begin offering supported self-rehoming options to pet parents who need it. They’ll also discuss ways to utilize social media and other technology solutions that fit your organization’s needs, and best practices for communicating these programs to stakeholders and your community. Don’t miss it!

2022-09-15 09:00 - 10:00
This is the first webinar in our Fall Series on Emotion Drive Behaviors. In this webinar, we will discuss working with skittish dogs.

Webinar - 9/15/22 - Advanced Return to Owner in the Field: Beyond the scanner - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
2022-09-15 12:00 - 13:15
Animal control officers are playing a much larger role today in the reduction of shelter intake by choosing to identify and return stray dogs to their families without bringing them into the shelter, but all too often officers stop looking for an owner was they find that the animal has no ID tags or microchip. This workshop highlights successful efforts from agencies across the country that have shown to significantly increase the field RTO rate for those animals without obvious identification.
This webinar has been certified by the National Animal Care & Control Association and is approved for 1 Continuing Education Unit.
Presenters:

Webinar - 9/27/22 - Stop & Smell the PeeMail: Everyday Sniffing as Slow Thinking, Social Problem-Solving & Healing from Trauma - PPG (fee applies)
2022-09-27 12:00 - 13:00
This webinar will offer a deep dive into the everyday practice of canine sniffing—not organized nose or scent work, but the behavior dogs constantly engage in when left to their own devices out in the backyard or just walking down the block. Sniffing is critical to canine welfare because dogs navigate the world first and foremost through their noses. Smelling is dogs’ most ancient sense and they have evolved a remarkable olfactory anatomy to maximize this. We have all heard about the ability of dogs to sniff out explosives, drugs, human remains and even biological disease. But did you also know that sniffing functions as a central form of cognition for dogs not to mention an important mode of social problem-solving. It is even essential for dogs’ recovery from emotional trauma. I will guide viewers through the world of ordinary sniffing by looking at the most recent science as well as offering real-life case studies of sniffing’s transformative power. This will include a component on sniffing for horses because our equine partners love to sniff, too!
If you can’t make it to the live session. No worries!
All webinar recordings are sent via email 48-72 hours after the live session.
