SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/7/24 - Tribal Law and Animal Law - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Tribal nations came before and now co-exist with the United States. Each tribal nation’s relationship with the United States federal government and state governments is unique and layered with complex forms of oppression and injustice. These relationships become more complicated with advocacy for companion animals\, domestic animals\, and wildlife who live on federally recognized reservations\, when many tribal nations are still fighting for basic human rights\, civil rights\, and federal recognition. \nGiven the expansiveness of tribal law and the uniqueness of each tribal nation\, this webinar will highlight some common themes different tribal cultures share that are specific to animals; the struggles that occur in advocating for tribal nations’ needs and the needs of animals who live on reservations; and the challenges that exist with the imposition of mainstream culture onto tribal cultures. \nThis webinar will then propose collaborative methods with tribal nations that create solutions\, which uplift all beings within tribal nations’ lands and legal jurisdictions. \nPresenter \n\nAs a Criminal Justice Program Fellow\, Jessica Chapman works with the ALDF to address crimes against animals\, partnering with stakeholders across the criminal justice system to resolve both the impetus and impact of animal cruelty. \nJessica earned a B.A. from the University of California\, Berkeley where she double majored in Slavic Languages and Literature and Native American Studies (honors). She earned a J.D. (cum laude) from Michigan State University College of Law\, where Jessica received the 2020 Wanda Nash Award from the Animal Law Section of the Michigan State Bar. Jessica earned an Animal law L.L.M. (magna cum laude) from Lewis & Clark Law School. While at Lewis & Clark\, she was awarded the inaugural 2021 Outstanding Animal Law L.L.M. Graduate Award and earned placement in the Cornelius Honor Society. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/tribal-law-and-animal-law/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/9/24 - Maddie's Insights: Impact of Classical Counterconditioning (Quiet Kennel Exercise) on Barking in Shelter Dogs - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:A major welfare concern in animal shelters is excessive barking from kenneled dogs. This contributes to noise pollution\, can cause hearing damage\, and has a negative impact on all animals within earshot. This study demonstrated that by implementing a simple classical counterconditioning exercise\, consisting of instructing all ward passers-through to toss treats to each dog regardless of behavior exhibited\, could change the emotional state of dogs from negative to more positive\, thus reducing fear and frustration that often leads to excessive barking. \nData analysis showed that implementation of this simple exercise did reduce barking at clinically relevant levels even with a changing shelter population. Additionally\, for each percent increase in compliance rate\, there was an average decrease of 17.3 dB in the maximum decibel reading. Moreover\, an overall positive change in attitude from most dogs towards visitors further showed the positive effects of the study. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nAttendees will learn to identify and apply basic learning theory\, specifically focusing on Classical (Pavlovian) Conditioning\, to dogs in a kennel setting.\nAttendees will learn to identify risks and consequences of noise pollution in shelters\, and also ways to reduce it to improve welfare of all species in the shelter.\n\nCan’t attend the live event? Register anyway! This webcast will be recorded\, and a link will be sent a day after the live event ends. \nThis webinar 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. It has also been approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) approval. \nSpeakers: \n@Sara Bennett\, DVM\, MS\, DACVB (Behavior)\, she/her/hers\nClinical Assistant Professor\, Veterinary Behavior Specialist\nDepartment of Clinical Sciences\nNorth Carolina State University\, College of Veterinary Medicine \n@Jamirelis Carrero (Jami)\nDVM candidate\nNorth Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine \nWEBSITE LINK: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsRegister

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/9/24 - Management vs Training for Behavior Problems - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Training for behavior problems is different from training basic obedience\, in that it involves finding and motivating behaviors incompatible to your problem ones\, plus changing the underlying emotions that can give rise to those problems in the first place! Let’s talk about those familiar ABCs\, but let’s break them down into A-B\, and B-C! \nAdditionally\, avoiding rehearsal of behavior issues is an important part of their resolution. Most people are working at stopping the display of undesirable behaviors while they’re happening\, but the best way to do this is to have a set of skills that are so well practiced that they are almost a script you can follow! Management is a skill unto itself\, and has to be addressed separately from the specific behavior change needed long term. \nIn this webinar Dr. Cook will go over: \n\nThe structure and goals of behavior modification\, and whether you need a new A\, a new B\, or a new C!\nHow management is crucial to reducing unwanted behaviors\nMovement skills: Magnets and hand touch\nStationary skills: Perching and treasure hunt\nHome skills: Mat skills\, interruptions\, and solo play\n\nIf you have a dog with a behavior issue\, getting a handle on how management and training are different — both in their goals and their execution — is crucial to your success! \nPresenter: Amy Cook\, PhD \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars
