SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/14/21 - Placing Behaviorally Challenged Dogs - The AAWA and NEFHS
DESCRIPTION:Should you or shouldn’t you? When it comes to placing behaviorally challenged dogs\, that is the question. \nThe unintended consequence of reduced shelter populations has been an increase in placements of challenging dogs. We see success stories on social media and television shows\, but is there more to the story? What is their quality of life – and that of their owners? Learn more about what effect these dogs are having on the families that love them and the communities they live in. \nThis panel will bring together research from Seana Dowling-Guyer about what happens to dogs after adoption\, with post-adoption case studies from professional dog trainer Melissa McCue-McGrath\, and shelter trends and perspectives from Mike Keiley from MSPCA. \nThis 90-minute panel and Q&A is part of a 3-part series from The New England Federation of Humane Societies (NEFHS) hosted by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement. \nThis session has been pre-approved for 1.5 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits. \n\n  \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/products/11421-placing-behaviorally-challenged-dogs

SUMMARY:Webinar Series - 12/5/20\, 12/12/20\, & 12/19/20 - Resource Guarding - PuppyWorks (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION: Webinar Program\n\n\nEach segment starts with a presentation of about 90 minutes\, followed by a 15 minute “coffee break” and ends with 45 minute Q/A session during which Sue & Trish will respond to questions posed by attendees of the live sessions. \n\n\nWhether you make the live sessions or not\, you will be able to access a complete recording of each session for 1 year. \n\n\n​​ \nSession One (Saturday\, December 5\, 2020): Assess-A-Pet & Ethogram  ​ \nASSESS-A-PET (AAP) Protocols to evaluate resource guarding (RG) & aggression thresholds. Practical\, detailed\, step-by-step procedures that evaluators can utilize in a home or at shelters and rescues to assess the tendency for RG\, the prospect of a high threshold for RG vs. a low threshold for RG\, quite possibly the degree of intensity\, and how we interpret what we are seeing. \n​Ethogram: An extensive catalog of seemingly endless\, often very subtle behaviors that tell us if a dog is feeling competitive\, or at risk of escalating into aggression. Focus on the AAP procedures and the subtle or not-so-subtle behaviors associated with competitiveness and/or a low threshold for RG. \n​ \nSession Two (Saturday\, December 12\, 2020): Low Threshold RG   ​ \n​Some of the science of RG and assessing it in shelter dogs. The low threshold resource guarder’s behavior in the home and community. Defining low aggression thresholds and what dogs usually guard: \n\n\nNot just the food bowl. \n\n\nManifestation in the home & neighborhood. \n\n\nImplications for other behavioral issues like separation anxiety. \n\n\nPica etc. \n\n\nRecognizing these small behaviors in real life:​ \n\n\nWill the dog guard an owner? \n\n\nIs the dog likely to bite a stranger or neighbor? \n\n\nWhat behaviors to look for when meeting a new client and their dog. \n\n\nHow RG can affect dog-dog interactions generally. \n\n\nSession Three (Saturday\, December 19\, 2020): RG Management & Behavior Modification \nResource Guarding is a natural behavior in all species. Management & modification protocols depend on- \nHelping clients identify problem areas including differing types of guarding & degree of risk associated with each\, such as: guarding\, food\, objects\, places\, people etc.\, and against whom the dog is guarding: other dogs\, children\, adults\, a single adult etc. \nIdentifying skill level & time availability of owners to ascertain what management or modification protocols are possible. Many people cannot maintain complex resource guarding protocols. Even when one person can\, others cannot. Safeguards are important for each family\, plus assessment of each dog’s degree of aggression potential and providing alternatives or resources for the family if the risk is deemed too high. \nProtocols: \n\n\nManagement: Identify & remove high value items – give potentially valuable objects & food in private area. \n\n\nGeneral guidelines: Teach dog that there are unlimited resources & that owner always has better resources ready to share; Teach “drop”. \n\n\nCognitive method : Teach dog to look up & away from item when asked or whenever owner passes by; Teach dog to leave item when asked. \n\n\nDog to Dog: Make sure management protocols are adhered to; Status adjustment as needed. \n\n\nOutcomes: Progress reports  ·Reality based decisions (some resource guarding is persistent\, no matter what we do) ·Rehoming if appropriate. \n\n\n  \n\nSpeakers\nSUE STERNBERG (www.suesternberg.com) \n\n\n\n\n\nSue founded the shelter featured in an  HBO documentary: Shelter Dogs (www.shelterdogs.org).  She has developed national programs\, such as Training Wheels® for community shelter outreach and dedicated herself to ensuring the quality of life of animals in their communities\, at animal shelters and in safe adoptions.
