SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/19/22 - Becoming a more wildlife-friendly agency - HSUS
DESCRIPTION:Does your agency’s mission for the humane treatment of animals extend not just to companion animals\, but to wildlife too? Animal control facilities are increasingly tasked with responding to wildlife issues in their community\, but standard operating procedures often stand in the way of achieving humane outcomes for wildlife. For instance\, programs like trap-loan are well-intentioned\, but in reality require unnecessary field response and agency resources\, leave orphans behind\, leave the root of the problem unaddressed\, and inflict suffering on the very animals we work to protect. \nFeaturing the real agency experiences from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA)\, this webinar will provide the roadmap and resources needed to begin transforming the way your agency and community deals with wildlife. The benefits are humane outcomes for wildlife in your community\, a reduced workload for officers in the field\, and a greater awareness in the community about how to solve problems with wildlife. \n(Photo by Emily Halesworth/The HSUS) \nPresenters\n\nSusan Getty\nJennifer Toussaint\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://humanepro.org/trainings/becoming-more-wildlife-friendly-agency

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/27/22 - Bio Writing to Build Connection - HeARTs Speak
DESCRIPTION:If photos and video open the door\, then the descriptions and bios that we write for pets are what tend to seal the deal. Pet bios take many forms – most often as social media captions/descriptions or writeups on adoption sites. No matter where these will be seen\, they become an important part of getting potential pet owners to take action and investigate adoption. This presentation will delve into how to use bios to help communicate effectively while also catching attention for long-stay or overlooked pets. \nTopics covered include:\n-How to use photo + video to maximize impact\n-The importance of transparency and honesty in communications\n-Strategies and activities to break through bio-writing boredom\n-Avoiding the trap of stereotyping and proactively fighting misinformation\n-How to shine extra light on long-stay pets \nPresenter: Caitlin Quinn\, Director of Operations at HeARTs Speak\nCaitlin is passionate about working with shelters and rescues to reimagine the way they tell their stories and connect with new audiences. She has served in the animal welfare field since 2008 and early on had the honor of working closely with diverse organizations across the U.S. to maximize resources\, redesign policies\, & find life-changing marketing solutions. In 2015 she got her MPA with a concentration in nonprofit management and in 2021 she began teaching shelter marketing for the University of Florida Master’s in Shelter Medicine program. She currently shares her life with a petite brindle pit bull named Sally. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_y9cSCQiGTLuOvHIEVfp4lw

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/28/22 - An In-Depth Look at Counter Conditioning - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Feeding a dog in the presence of an eliciting stimulus is often masked as counter conditioning him. When it doesn´t work we label the process as ineffective or assume it’s not the best choice for that particular dog or situation. But the only times counter conditioning doesn’t work is if it’s not counter conditioning\, if it’s not performed correctly\, or if there is some physiological or neurological process inhibiting learning. \nThere are pillars that support a counter conditioning procedure. Novelty\, salience\, contingency\, contiguity and timing are the main ones. Similarly\, there are factors – mainly human error – that hinder the process. In this webinar we will explore those pillars and discuss human errors that make counter conditioning “ineffective”. \nCEUs: PPAB 1.5\, CCPDT 1.5\, IAABC (pending)\, KPA 1.5 \nInstructor: Alexandra Santos \nLearning Objectives \n– Understand the importance and impact of novelty.\n– What is more important? Contiguity\, contingency\, or both?\n– Learn how pre-exposure to the US can make it less effective.\n– Increase US salience while decreasing trigger salience.\n– Learn about trace conditioning\, simultaneous conditioning\, short and long-delay conditioning and when to use them.\n– The role of backward conditioning.\n– Avoid common errors during a counter conditioning procedure.\n– Some practical examples. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4644572

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/4/22 - Harmonious Walks: Redefining Loose-Leash Walking - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Dogs who pull like a tank; dogs who play tug with the leash. Sound familiar? Ask any trainer why clients reach out to them for help\, and somewhere in the top three reasons you’ll find “walking on-leash”. It’s such a common problem\, and the simplest solution is actually the most unexpected one. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll cover how to achieve harmonious walks. Attendees will learn how to attain that elusive “loose-leash walking” behaviour in the most enjoyable way. We’ll move away from focusing on the traditional heeling behaviour\, and towards recognizing and meeting dogs’ needs through foundation skills and on-leash games that anyone can do. \n“Harmonious walks” means everyone wins. Happy dogs\, and happy guardians! \nPresenter: Nancy Tucker \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/5/22 - AlignCare: Program for Pet Health Equity - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:All members of the family deserve access to healthcare\, including the nonhuman members (pets). Health equity means that all family members have the potential to get the care they need. When they don’t receive needed care\, health disparities result. Unfortunately\, more than 1 out of 4 families do not have access to veterinary care. Not having veterinary care threatens the wellbeing of the whole family. \nThe AlignCare system was created to improve access to veterinary care for families currently underserved. It is a community-based collaboration where resources and activities are aligned\, including funds to subsidize the veterinary care for qualified families.  This presentation will describe the societal problem and how AlignCare addresses it. Also\, participants will learn what is required to bring AlignCare to their community. \nSpeaker: Dr. Michael Blackwell\, DVM\, MPH – University of Tennessee\, Knoxville \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_em05H86CQ02KZ-3RaEnjbg

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/9/22 - Building a Positive Workplace Culture—Why It Matters and How to Do It - HASS
DESCRIPTION:The animal welfare industry is understaffed and facing worker turnover\, like employers around the country.

In this webinar\,  Conover will discuss how PCAS created and sustains its positive workplace culture\, and how you can easily adapt these methods to your workplace to help better retain team members and build a positive workplace culture of your own. \nJoin us Tuesday\, August 9 at 5pm CT for an exciting webinar\, Building a Positive Workplace Culture – Why It Matters and How to Do It\, hosted by Spencer Conover\, Assistant Director of Pasco County Animal Services. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://zoom.us/webinar/register/6516583441652/WN_WKolGPggRZm_5nQ_55S5KA

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/11/22 - Did You Hear That?! Helping Dogs with Noise Sensitivity - ACVB (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:We live in a noisy world and dogs are very sensitive to sound. They can hear a much broader range of frequencies than humans can so it should be no surprise that noise sensitivity is common in dogs. Noise sensitivity encompasses fear\, anxiety\, and phobic-based responses to a range of sounds\, including loudness\, pitch\, and suddenness. Nearly half of families report that their dog shows at least one sign of fear when exposed to unusual\, loud or sudden noises. Noise sensitivity\, left untreated\, generally gets progressively worse over time. Early diagnosis and intervention is critical to prevent anxiety and fear from escalating. In this webinar we will discuss the range of sounds dogs may be sensitive to as well as how genetics\, age and concurrent health problems may make sound sensitivity worse. We will also cover the cruciality of early diagnosis and intervention and effective treatment strategies. \nAbout the Presenter\nDr. Jill E. Sackman is a Diplomate of both the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists and the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. She is the owner and founding veterinarian of Animal Behavior Consultants of Michigan\, a referral veterinary behavior practice with offices in metro-Detroit\, Grand Rapids\, and Northern Michigan. Dr. Sackman is Fear Free certified and a Family Paws educator. She sees pets with behavior disorders that range from mild fears to extreme anxiety\, aggression\, compulsive disorders\, sound sensitivities and separation anxiety.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/17/22 - The Poisoned Cue And Its Implications For Training - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Much is known about discriminative stimuli (cues) that are taught with either reinforcement or punishment contingencies and how these stimuli function as conditioned reinforcers or conditioned aversive stimuli. However\, little is known experimentally about discriminative stimuli established with both reinforcing as well as aversive events. It has been reported that the interaction between reinforcing and aversive events makes the discriminative function somewhat different from other discriminative stimuli (see Hearst & Sidman\, 1961). Karen Pryor (2002) called this phenomenon the poisoned cue. She suggested that a cue\, or discriminative stimulus\, that is established using both reinforcing and aversive events leads to the breakdown of the behavior both preceding and following the cue. This may be due to an increase in avoidance behaviors and the uncertainty that exists regarding the consequence that will follow. The poisoned cue phenomenon is important because it reflects many teaching situations in the real world. Discriminative stimuli in the real world are rarely taught with purely positive reinforcement or purely aversive consequences. \nThis presentation will show an experimental analysis of the poisoned cue and discuss techniques to identify situations that might involve poisoned cues. It will also discuss ways to overcome these cues. \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Jesús Rosales-Ruiz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Behavior Analysis at the University of North Texas. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas in 1995 under the direction of Dr. Donald M. Baer. During his graduate training\, he also worked closely with Dr. Ogden R. Lindsley. Dr. Rosales-Ruiz’s areas of interest include antecedent control of behavior\, generalization\, behavioral cusps\, fluency-based teaching\, treatment of autism\, teaching of academic behavior\, animal training\, rule-governed behavior\, and contingency-shaped behavior. He has served on several editorial boards\, including the Journal of Precision Teaching\, the European Journal of Behavior Analysis\, and the International Journal of Psychology and Psychological Therapy. Dr. Rosales-Ruiz is a fellow of the Eastern Psychological Association and a trustee of the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/understanding-poisoned-cues.html
