SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/19/24 - Maximizing Your Reuniting and Re-nesting Strategies for Wildlife - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Are you maximizing the ability of your agency to respond to calls about birds and squirrels that have fallen out of nests\, very young raccoons seen without mom\, or fawns and baby rabbits alone in fields or backyards? \nThis webinar will help you assess reuniting and renesting opportunities and achieve the best outcome for these animals. Learn how to know when intervention is necessary and focus on strategies that increase opportunities to reunite dependent young with their wild parent(s)\, including recognizing when community members can help and how to best facilitate that as an organization. \nThis webinar has been certified by the National Animal Care & Control Association and is approved for 1 Continuing Education Unit. Please refer to your NACA membership portal for current CEU submission process. Current NACA Members who attend the live presentation or watch the recording will be able to download a jointly issued attendance certificate that includes the National Animal Care & Control Association logo. Visit the NACA training page for a complete list of future trainings. \nPresenter\nJohn Griffin is the Senior Director of Urban Wildlife Programs for the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). John oversees field and policy programs focused on implementing humane and effective approaches to resolving wildlife conflicts across the country. This work includes consulting with—and providing trainings and resources for—animal care and control professionals\, law enforcement\, wildlife responders and state and municipal agencies. John also assists with field programs requiring capture and chemical immobilization as well as disaster response and wildlife rescue. For nine years\, he ran the HSUS’ Humane Wildlife Services program\, which provided eviction and exclusion services. From 2015-2016 John was part of a National Geographic Expedition team exploring raccoon behavior in urban areas \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/maximizing-your-reuniting-and-re-nesting-strategies-for-wildlife/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/21/24 - Community-based Animal Protection - Life of Riley
DESCRIPTION:We recognize that puppy mill rescues and advocacy groups are already skilled in the direct rescue and care of animals\, as well as in passing legislation\, pursuing litigation and the prosecution of animal crimes\, and other legal techniques to protect the welfare of breeding dogs. This webinar series aims to complement existing skills\, resources\, and knowledge by introducing new perspectives\, research and advocacy tools from other social justice movements\, and discussing how learnings from different sectors might inform efforts to end puppy mills and other forms of animal cruelty. \nSpeakers: \nFrom Humane Action Pittsburgh (HAP) \n\nNatalie Ahwesh\, Executive Director\nShannon Dickerson\, Director of Operations\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUrcOGrrj4iGdLHR4WV8hkZnKdQwoXk_Gh3#/registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/21/24 - Read The Room: Awareness and Development of Context Cues - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Context cues are stimuli in the environment- sights\, sounds\, smells and even social cues- that influence behavior and memory. Dogs are incredibly good at picking up on all sorts of context cues- it feels like they learn in pictures\, where all parts of the environment are built right into what we are teaching. This is why it’s often said that dogs aren’t naturally very good at generalizing behaviors. To your dog\, the behavior is part of that very specific snapshot\, where it was learned! \nIn some situations\, we actively train our dogs to ignore context cues. And we have to work pretty hard at this! For example\, we generalize obedience cues in many different settings\, with different handler positions and postures\, and unusual distractions- so that our dog truly understands that our handler cues- like sit\, down\, stand and heel- are relevant\, no matter what else is going on. No matter the context. \nBut in other situations\, it is helpful if our dogs can learn to read the room: to examine the entire context and draw conclusions about suitable default behaviors for that setting. To ease into the most suitable arousal state simply because they know what is expected in that circumstance. And to do this by just recognizing the picture\, rather than requiring handler cues or micromanaging. Default behaviors in certain contexts don’t just happen by magic though- well\, at least not the desirable ones. If we don’t plan appropriately\, it frequently happens that our dogs attach too much excitement\, arousal\, or animation to situations where\, long term\, we’d prefer they were a little calmer! We need to be a little bit strategic\, looking at our training scenarios from the same viewpoint as our dogs\, to ensure that the end goal emotional state and behaviors we are shaping in that context will best serve us and our dogs. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll examine how expectations drive emotions\, and how emotions drive behavior… and how crafting your dog’s expectations in specific contexts helps to build consistent appropriate emotional states and desirable behavior in similar situations in the future. We’ll look at how you can incorporate building context cues with a new puppy early on\, so that while you are socializing and developing foundation skills\, you’re also building valuable expectations in key environments that help\, rather than harm\, future goals. We’ll also discuss re-training for dogs who have already developed undesirable behaviors in certain contexts\, and you’ll get tips about avoiding some of the most commonly poisoned context cues too! This webinar will help you learn to perceive the world ‘in pictures’ and give you the ability to appreciate all the ways you can anticipate your dog’s behavior based on their environment and their past experiences in similar situations. As a result\, your dog will be better prepared to read the room! \nThis webinar is for you if your dog exhibits any of the following: \n\nStruggles to settle in situations which should invite relaxing\nTends to be overexcited for vet visits\, grooming\, or even waiting their turn in class or at trials\nAttempts to greet everyone they meet with excessive\, overly friendly enthusiasm\nPesters you relentlessly while you are working\, working out\, or otherwise occupied\nWhines\, barks\, or scratches in their crate or ex-pen in anticipation of release or due to FOMO\nHas an inappropriate or undesirable behavior or arousal level in any routine situation\n\nThis webinar is also for you if you have a new puppy and want to avoid any of the above without sacrificing their socialization. \nPresented by Erin Lynes  \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars
