SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/16/23 - Radically Rethinking How We Handle Errors with Hélène Lawler - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:We live in a culture of “No”. Indeed\, studies have found that (at least in the U.S.) we are told ‘no’ more than 18\,000 times by the time we’re 18 years old. That’s an average of 1000 times a year\, or up to 3 times a day. Ouch! \nNo wonder we get so wrapped up in how to handle our dogs when they’re wrong! \nIn the +R world\, we place considerable emphasis on reinforcing what’s right\, and telling our dogs what we want them TO DO. We want to keep things happy and positive for our dogs\, and we put a lot of energy into helping them be right. \nAnd so\, figuring out how to handle mistakes in training or performance can pose quite a quandary! If you’ve been in the dog sport world for any time\, here are a few responses you might be familiar with: \n“I use a low value reinforcer when she makes a mistake\, and high value or jackpot when she gets it right” \n“When she makes a mistake\, I stop\, ask for something simple\, and reward that so she doesn’t know there’s a problem” \n“If I don’t use a No Reward Marker (NRM)\, how do I let my dog know he was wrong?” \nWhich of these\, if any\, is the best approach? If none\, then what do I do instead? \nWhere does “errorless learning” fit into this picture? Is there any room in +R training for mistakes? And why do we get so caught up in our dogs’ mistakes anyway? \nIn this webinar\, we’ll unpack all of the above! Which will lead us squarely into what some might find to be a controversial conclusion\, but that I hope to convince you is the optimal path forward to effective learning and joyful training. \nI hope you’ll join me in radically rethinking how to handle errors! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/18/23 - Mobilizing the Community to Make TNR Happen - Community Cats Podcast
DESCRIPTION:So many cats\, so few trappers… and veterinarians… and holding space… and transporters.  If you live in a well populated urban or suburban area and you’re trying to use TNR to address your city or town’s entire free-roaming cat population\, you’re going to need a lot of help!  How do you mobilize the public to trap the cats in their own backyards and get hands-on involved\, attract volunteers and gain community support?  Learn from the folks who started the community TNR program in New York City and helped other municipalities organize their programs as well.  We’ll go over training the public\, providing support services\, tracking success\, gaining publicity and more. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/events/mobilizing-the-community-to-make-tnr-happen-presented-by-neighborhood-cats-feb-2023/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/22/23 - Towards a More Humane Society: A One-Health Approach to Addressing Criminal Cruelty for Everyone Involved - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:In responding to animal cruelty\, both legal professionals and mental health clinicians are often frustrated by challenges involved in identifying why the crime took place and how to reduce the likelihood of future cruelty by addressing those underlying factors – all while meeting the needs of animal victims. \nIn response\, the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the University of Denver’s Institute for Human-Animal Connection have developed a certification program that—by surfacing the interests of animal victims—facilitates assessing causative factors on a case-by-case basis\, and translating those to targeted outcomes responsive to the needs of animal victims\, defendants\, and their communities. \nJoin two of the program architects—ALDF Managing Attorney David B. Rosengard and ALDF Criminal Justice Fellow Jessica Chapman—as they discuss conundrums implicated by overlapping legal and mental health approaches to addressing animal maltreatment\, and how grappling with those within a One Health framework illuminates a path towards a better understanding of risk\, a more complete remediation for those harmed\, and ultimately more resilient individuals and communities. \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. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/towards-a-more-humane-society-a-one-health-approach-to-addressing-criminal-cruelty-for-everyone-involved/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/23/23 -  Accelerate your learning: Don’t fight extinction - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Animal trainers often talk about first teaching a behavior and then later adding a cue for that behavior. However\, while your animal is learning a behavior\, your animal is also learning environmental cues\, even if you are not aware of them. Behaviors and cues evolve together. When you return to working in this setting or with these props\, your animal will be ready to do this behavior again. So\, if you try to teach a new behavior under these same conditions\, the learning will be slow. This is because the cues for the original behavior will interfere with the acquisition of the new behavior. Instead\, you can speed up learning by changing the environmental cues. This presentation will explain how these cues evolve. Then\, we’ll look at several case studies and explore how you can use this knowledge to speed up learning. \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Jesús Rosales-Ruiz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Behavior Analysis at the University of North Texas. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas in 1995 under the direction of Dr. Donald M. Baer. During his graduate training\, he also worked closely with Dr. Ogden R. Lindsley. Dr. Rosales-Ruiz’s areas of interest include antecedent control of behavior\, generalization\, behavioral cusps\, fluency-based teaching\, treatment of autism\, teaching of academic behavior\, animal training\, rule-governed behavior\, and contingency-shaped behavior. He has served on several editorial boards\, including the Journal of Precision Teaching\, the European Journal of Behavior Analysis\, and the International Journal of Psychology and Psychological Therapy. Dr. Rosales-Ruiz is a fellow of the Eastern Psychological Association and a trustee of the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/accelerate-your-learning-don-t-fight-extinction.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/28/23 - The Future of Separation Anxiety with Malena DeMartini - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Separation anxiety in dogs has been at the forefront of everyone’s minds for a long time\, but particularly for the past 18 months. According to several recent polls\, about 50% of pet dogs are reported as suffering from some form of separation-related problems. \nIn the US alone\, that is equivalent to over 44 million pet dogs which is astounding and certainly implies that there is a welfare issue. So what lies in the future for separation anxiety dogs and their loving guardians? Fortunately\, separation anxiety has been the #1 most researched and discuss disorder in published studies in the fields of applied animal behavior and veterinary behavior. This tremendous research combined with huge increases in dog professional’s awareness and education has led to a solid foundation for moving into the future of separation anxiety. \nPart of this future includes a huge demand for more qualified professionals from all over the globe who can work in an individualized way with daily behavior plans and support. Separation anxiety clients are geographically diverse\, and dog-training consumers are more willing to work virtually and with technology\, to deliver higher-quality personalized services. This session will review the direction in which this fascinating training issue is headed\, including the effective use of technology that aids the training team for successful resolution of separation anxiety. \nThis presentation is a rerun from Geek Week 2021. Malena will be on hand for questions and answers at the end of the session. \nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 1\, KPA 1\, & IAABC Pending \nRegistered for the live event\, get busy and cannot make it! \nNo worries you will automatically receive a recording! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-5090588

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/1/23 - Changing Behavior by Arranging Antecedents with Kathy Sdao - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Animal trainers and behavior consultants sometimes overlook or undervalue Level 2 (Antecedent Arrangements) of the Humane Hierarchy. This six-level progression of behavior-change procedures\, arranged so that the least intrusive and most positive interventions come first\, was introduced by Dr. Susan Friedman in 2010. (See What’s Wrong With This Picture? Effectiveness is Not Enough) We may be tempted to skip ahead to familiar operant training procedures such as positive reinforcement (Level 3) & differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors (Level 4). Antecedent arrangements (Level 2) suggest we first notice and adjust the learner’s environment in ways that facilitate the behaviors we wish to reinforce. It invites us to be creative in changing conditions that precede these behaviors\, with the goal of making learning more effective and efficient. Level 2 is much broader than simply “managing the environment” to prevent problem behaviors from occurring. We’ll look at specific examples of antecedent arrangements drawn from Kathy’s work with behavior-consultation clients. \nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 2\, KPA 2\, & IAABC Pending \nAbout the Presenter: \nKathy Sdao is an applied animal behaviorist. She’s been a full-time animal trainer for almost forty years\, first with marine mammals and then with dogs. At the University of Hawaii\, she received a master’s degree working with a research team that trained dolphins to understand sign-language. She then worked for the United States Navy training dolphins for open-ocean military tasks. Kathy also worked as a marine-mammal trainer at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma Washington. After leaving the zoo world\, she co-created Tacoma’s first dog-daycare. \nKathy launched Bright Spot Dog Training in 1998. Services include consulting with families about their challenging dogs and mentoring professional trainers who want to maximize the power of positive-reinforcement training. Kathy is proud to be an original faculty member for Karen Pryor’s ClickerExpos; she’s taught at more than forty of these popular conferences. Kathy has lectured at venues across the United States\, Canada and Europe\, and in Australia\, Israel\, Japan and Mexico. In 2012\, she published her first book\, Plenty in Life Is Free: Reflections on Dogs\, Training and Finding Grace. \nRegistered for the live event\, get busy and cannot make it!
