SUMMARY:Online Seminar - July 16\, 17\, 23\, and 24\, 2024  - Practical Exercises for Resolving Canine Reactivity - Puppyworks
DESCRIPTION:A hands-on training webinar in 4 sessions\n2 1/2 hr sessions on July 16\, 17\, 23 & 24\, 2024\n10 AM PST/11 AM Mountain/12 pm Central/1 PM Eastern\nOr watch the recordings afterwards!\n10 CEUs CCPDT/IAABC \nClothier’s client friendly techniques harness the voluntary actions of dogs that handlers can reinforce to minimize reactivity. The 3 key skills to accomplish this are: \n\n“Auto Check-In” (ACI): Teaches a dog to maintain connection with a handler while developing the handler’s skill to sustain it;\nPoliteness Poker: Frequently exchanging rewards for desired K9 behaviors to constantly enhance the connection\, and\nReally Real Relaxation (RRR) -Teaches shared relaxation- so the dog learns to disengage from triggering stimuli and redirect focus onto the handler/client.\n\nSuzanne’s clear instructions & accompanying videos allow your clients to readily learn each skill. \nRates:\nEarly Bird Rates through May 31\nIndividuals $99\n($ 119 after May 31) \nGroups 4+ $89\n($109 after May 31) \nAbove rates cover all 4 sessions!\nRegistrants have unlimited access to the recordings for 1 year\, whether they make the live sessions or not. \nAbout Suzanne\nHer renowned Relationship Centered Training (RCT™) has been presented at Assistance Dogs International-NA\, Wolf Park\, APDT-Association of Pet Dog Trainers\, FEMA\, Alaskan Dog Musher Assoc.\, the University of MN SPEAK Conference\, Pet Professional Guild Geek Week\, Lemonade & many other conferences worldwide. \nHer book Bones Would Rain from the Sky: Deepening Our Relationships With Dogs (Warner\, 2002) was twice voted a “Top 5 Book” by the Wall Street Journal. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.puppyworks.com/clothier2024

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/24/24 - Who let the dogs out? Unleashing solutions: Finding solutions to the problem of Fiji's free-roaming dog population - Getting 2 Zero
DESCRIPTION:Overpopulation of dogs is an issue in Fiji\, similar to many other South Pacific and industralized nations worldwide. This presentation explores results from a door-to-door survey in the Tavakubu ward of Lautoka\, highlighting the impacts of human behavior in maintaining free-roaming dog populations\, including ownership apathy\, indiscriminate feeding\, and low compliance with responsible pet ownership practices. Our findings underscore the importance of understanding the negative impacts of “toxic charity” and emphasize the need to shift from predominantly shelter-based strategies and free-of-charge services to promoting responsible dog ownership and caregiver behaviors. Outputs of this study underscore the importance of ongoing evaluation of knowledge\, attitudes\, and practice (KAP) studies to understand how animal welfare initiatives can support community behavior changes that foster sustainable\, long-term dog population management strategies. \nThis event will be recorded and the recording will be available the day after the event. \nSpeakers: \nCasey Quimby – Co-Founder and Managing Trustee\, Animals Fiji \nCasey is an Animerican-Fijian with nearly 15 years of experience operating a shelter and multiple veterinary clinics throughout Fiji. Casey has been a pivotal figure in the region’s animal welfare efforts. She earned her Master’s Certificate in Shelter Medicine from the University of Florida in 2018 and has been at the forefront of data collection and population management in Fiji over the past four years. Her dedication to developing evidence-based\, research-informed strategies has significantly contributed to sustainable and humane solutions for companion animal population management in local communities. \nDr Jessica Hoopes – Animals Fiji Volunteer \nJessica is a Canadian Veterinarian with over 10 years’ experience working in veterinary and shelter medicine and animal management in Canada\, Fiji\, Papua New Guinea\, Costa Rica\, and Australia. Her experiences working in the Pacific Islands have underscored the importance of developing evidence-based\, research informed strategies for addressing free roaming cat and dog populations\, that are tailored to the needs of the local community. While currently working as the One Health Research Coordinator for Animal Management in Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities (AMRRIC)\, she spent the past 5 years remotely supporting rescue groups in Fiji in developing a framework for baseline data collection with the hopes of informing sustainable and humane solutions for companion animal population management. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.g2z.org.au/g2z-webinars-and-online-events.html

SUMMARY:Online Event - 7/25/24 - Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection: Managing Separation Anxiety in Shelter Dogs - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Join us on July 25 for Managing Separation Anxiety in Shelter Dogs with Dr. Valerie Tynes of the SPCA of Texas (12n Pacific / 3pm Eastern for one hour) \nSeparation-related problems result in extreme mental suffering in affected dogs and negatively impact the quality of life of their owners as well. With time\, these types of problems can severely damage and eventually destroy even the strongest of human animal bonds. Helping pet owners to understand that affected dogs are not “acting out” and that they don’t just need “more structure” or “more exercise” is imperative if we are going to solve these problems. This presentation will review the most common clinical signs of separation anxiety\, some of the “red flags” in a dog’s history that suggest it may have a separation-related problem and how to accurately identify the problem. Some practical approaches to treatment will also be presented. Can’t attend live? Register anyway and you will get a link to the recording within a day or two after each meeting. \nJoin us on the fourth Thursday of every month as we talk about dog and cat behavior – supporting pets in our community and animal shelters. Each month\, we hear from speakers about topics of interest to our group\, such as behavior medications\, modifying animal behavior\, assessing and improving animal welfare\, and how organizations successfully provide behavior support to dogs and cats. \nWho should join: Animal welfare staff and volunteers who are interested in dog and cat behavior\, and everyone who works to keep pets out of shelters and in homes. \nYou only need to register once for all meetings: https://maddies.fund/MonthlyBehaviorRegistration \nCan’t attend live? Register anyway and you will get a link to the recording within a day or two after each meeting. \nAll recordings and resources shared during the webcast will also be available in the Maddie’s Monthly Behavior Connection group on Maddie’s Pet Forum – https://maddies.fund/monthlybehaviorconnectionMPF \nMaddie’s Fund does not share registration information. \nThe opinions expressed by webinar presenters are their own and do not necessarily represent those of Maddie’s Fund. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddies.fund/MonthlyBehaviorRegistration

DESCRIPTION:Session Topic: Foster to Adopt Programs: Supportive Pathways from Shelter to Home \nAt the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020\, Hawaii Island Humane Society launched their Foster-to-Adopt program as a means to get pets out of the shelter and into homes during a time when the public was not able to enter the shelters. The program was such a success for people and animals that it endured even after the shelter was able to open their doors again.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/7/24 - Behavior and Training Webinar: 'De visita al veterinario' - "A friendly vet visit" - Every Dog Austin
DESCRIPTION:Todos los perros tienen que ir al veterinario por lo menos una vez a año. Queremos enseñarles técnicas de seguridad y de manejo para que su visita sea más suave y divertida. Su perro y el veterinario se lo agradecerán ya que el propósito es que el perro se sienta más cómodo y coopere a la hora de ser examinado. \nEVENTO GRATIS: las donaciones son opcionales \nSpeaker: Isamar Pérez Biology (B.S.) \, RVT\, CPDT \nContamos con más de 10 años de experiencia en ambientes de trabajo de ritmo rápido incluyendo clínicas veterinarias y centros de cuido y entrenamiento de mascotas. \nDisfrutamos educar a guardianes de perros sobre el bienestar animal en todas sus etapas de vida y sobretodo nos apasiona reconstruir lazos y dar segundas oportunidades luego de que el perro muestra comportamientos de agresividad. \nTodas las mascotas que hemos ayudado a regular su instinto defensivo nos han enseñado que muchos comportamientos de agresividad comienzan por una amenaza llamada dolor. Es por esto que el cuidado cooperativo en las visitas veterinarias son imprescindibles para poder llevar al animal al veterinario y poder identificar si hay una condición médica que nos urge atender. \nBuscamos un balance para unir los mundos y transformar vínculos. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.everydogaustin.org/event-details/de-visita-al-veterinario-a-friendly-vet-visit

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/14/24 - Understanding Dog Body Language Using T.E.M.P. - Every Dog Austin
DESCRIPTION:Dogs don’t speak human but their body can say millions of words. In this webinar you will gain a better understanding of reading a dogs body language through T.E.M.P. (Tail\, Ears/Eyes\, Mouth\, and Posture) \nFREE event\, donations optional! \nThis webinar is part of Every Dog Behavior and Training’s  BIPOC Speaker Series. \nAbout the Speaker:  Aaron Jones \nI worked as a Vet Tech for over 12 years. Although I enjoyed my role dearly\, there was still something missing. The medical side of care just did not feel like I was where I was supposed to be. I had always wanted to volunteer raising puppies to become service dogs\, so I started researching non-profit organizations. I soon found one and attended my first meeting and was hooked. Training dogs is what makes me feel complete. It’s my calling.  I attended Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as a Certified Dog Trainer.  I am a dog lover first\, and a dog trainer second. I know from first-hand experience the difference dog training makes in the relationship between dog and owner. I believe in creating an unbreakable bond and a trusting relationship between dog and human using positive reinforcement techniques. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.everydogaustin.org/event-details/understanding-dog-body-language-using-t-e-m-p
