Dog iBox Presents: The process of learning is affected by many different factors, including the emotional state of the individual. By reading the body language of dogs, we can better understand their emotional state and their ability to respond to training exercises. This presentation will cover many of the body language signals that dogs are likely to show when stressed, fearful or anxious. Perhaps even more importantly, information will be included about how this emotional state directly impacts the process of learning and the effect on a plan or the animal’s response to specific exercises.
Virox Presents: In this talk we will discuss what is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and how research on Military Working Dogs applies to our companion animals and how our knowledge of treatment for PTSD can be applied to pets.

These strategies serve as a starting point for leaders who are seeking concrete next steps for better engaging volunteers from communities of color.

FDSA Presents: Calling all foodies! Well, I mean foodie dogs, of course! A lot of times, trainers will use toys for easily rewarding at a distance or for increasing arousal, especially in agility. But, what if your dog doesn’t like toys? What if toys create so much conflict for your learner that it’s counterproductive to your training? In this webinar, Megan will go over how she uses food in all the same ways she could use a toy. If you’re feeling like all you ever do is hand your dog a cookie, and would like to add more variety, then this webinar is for you!

VIN’s VSPN Presents (fee applies): How can I be running out of frequently dispensed items while paying extremely high inventory statements?

The system is broken, and it needs to be rebuilt. Throughout this course, you will be provided the absolute minimal foundation needed through each stage of developing an inventory system, and then more.
