Dogs Playing for Life Presents: Reactivity on the part of dogs living in shelters is a rampant issue that can contribute to behavioral deterioration, increased length of stay, and even loss of life. From a misdiagnosis of “aggression” to dogs whose reactive behavior escalates to problematic and potentially unsafe levels, learning how to help dogs suffering from reactivity issues is a crucial need shared by our entire industry.

NACA/Justice Clearinghouse Present: In this webinar, you will learn—through case studies and firsthand testimony—how the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s Collaborative Response Project helped foster collaborative relationships for one community through training, grant funding, and hands on support. Encourage animal control officers, veterinarians, traditional law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and community organizations in your area to tune in and explore the ways you can start building sustainable partnerships on behalf of animals today.

PPG Presents (fee applies): Positive Reinforcement Training is not all about bribing! Using this training method, we are teaching our pets what to do in a fun and less stressful way. Remember, behavior that is rewarded is more likely to reoccur.

Dogs Playing for Life Presents: At Dogs Playing for Life’s Stranger Danger webinar, hosted by Aimee Sadler, CEO and Founder of DPFL, you will learn how to work with dogs that are wary of strangers by building their confidence and helping them develop new skills which will enable them to meet new people (and potential adopters) happily and successfully! Even for the private dog trainer or dog owner, the skills taught in this webinar will help support your stranger danger dog to expand their comfort level when meeting new people at home!

HASS Presents: How can we better engage community members in the lost pet reunification process, and get more pets home to their families instead of sitting in shelters? This is one of the most important and urgent challenges shelters face. Our panel of experts will help you develop ways to work hand-in-hand with your community, and reunite more pets with their owners.

PPG Presents (fee applies): This webinar will provide a framework for how to approach behavioural challenges. Using a holistic perspective involving ethological, affective and behaviour analytical approaches, we will discuss how emotional reactions to triggers in the environment affect behaviour, and how we through carefully addressing those triggers can change emotions, and more.
