SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/4/23 - The Problem with Messaging: How Our Words Are Holding Us Back - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Animal welfare has a messaging problem. Current messaging can stoke divisions amongst those who work in animal welfare and between us and members of the communities we serve. There is an increasing focus on access to care and programming to support the human-animal bond\, but we use words and stories that hold us back. Everyday narratives undermine our efforts to help people and their pets together and contribute to an epidemic of burnout in animal welfare and sheltering. \nWhen we change our messaging\, we can tell a different story and shift from harmful narratives and beliefs to those that create connection\, collaboration\, and\, ultimately\, better programs. In this session\, we explore why messaging challenges are happening\, how they shape the realities we experience every day\, and what we can do about it. You will hear about SPARC (Supporting People and Animal Relationships for Change) and the program’s messaging principles and practices that can help us do our most impactful work for people and animals. \nPresenters: \n\nAlison Fotsch Kleibor\, CAWA\, President & CEO\, Wisconsin Humane Society\nBrad Shear\, CAWA\, CEO\, Potter League for Animals\nHanna Lentz\, Co-Founder\, Impact by Design (IbD)\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/10-04-23

SUMMARY:Webinar – 11/9/23 – Maddie’s Insights: Strategies for Challenging Ableism in Companion Animal Welfare – Maddie’s Fund

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/16/23 - Denise Fenzi’s Circle Method for Basic Reactivity and Over Arousal - 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.
