We also know that arousal levels are supposed to change in response to environmental and social pressures\, and that arousal can affect information processing and the modulation of fight/flight responses. Unfortunately\, not all arousal regulation systems are created or developed equally! This presentation will focus on those dogs that are easily over-stimulated by sensory information\, tend to over-react to their surroundings\, and have a difficult time recovering or returning to a normal resting level of arousal. Information specific to the underlying neurological basis for this pattern\, strategies for impacting the development of impulse control and arousal regulation throughout development\, as well as behavior modification and medication intervention strategies will be addressed and discussed. \n  \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/market/catalog/live-webinars/live-webinars-english-c-34/too-hot-to-handle-understanding-and-working-with-the-reactive-dog.html URL:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/event/webinar-10-28-20-too-hot-to-handle-understanding-and-working-with-the-reactive-dog-dr-christopher-pachel-dog-ibox-fee-applies/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/hybrid-3792401_640.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201028T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201028T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T115127 CREATED:20200616T005734Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200928T190212Z UID:10000148-1603890000-1603893600@www.sheltermedportal.com SUMMARY:Online Event - Wednesdays - Maddie's Instructor Summit - AmPa!

You can take center stage and share your thoughts and ideas in front of several hundred of your colleagues or quietly drink your morning coffee and listen in.”  \nFor many\, these calls have been an invaluable resource. “When the subject of DEI (Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion) came to the front of all of our minds\, the calls adapted and we had a space to again learn from one another\,” said Emily Klehm from South Suburban Humane Society in Chicago Heights\, IL. “The calls have been my go-to source for grant information\, statistics and trends. I’ve also been able to identify and connect to colleagues working on the same issues in similar communities.”  \nDr. Ellen Jefferson\, Executive Director at Austin Pets Alive! adds\, “We hear from people in the industry who have important information related to COVID\, new programming and research.  This is information you can’t possibly get in your day to day work at your local shelter.”  \nIf you’re a shelter professional\, dedicated volunteer or run a rescue organization\, we want you to join us!

This happens for a couple of reasons: firstly\, behaviors are much more noticeable than the emotions that drive them; secondly\, from the human perspective the behavior is the problem\, not the emotion. From the dog’s perspective\, however\, the emotion is the problem\, not the behavior!It is true that respondent conditioning and operant conditioning occur almost simultaneously\, which results in an interplay between emotions and what the dog learns from punishers and reinforcers. Because of this interplay\, we prioritize the “get the behavior” approach. But how much faster could a behavior problem be solved if we prioritized the “change the emotion” approach? Let’s remember that emotional states are antecedent stimuli\, that motivation is an emotional process\, and that emotional responses are more immediate than thought-out ones.This webinar will revisit respondent techniques such as classical extinction\, systematic desensitization and counter-conditioning\, as well as explain how to apply them effectively taking different variables into account. \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand the impact of emotions on behavior.\nBecome aware of emotional states as antecedent stimuli.\nLearn how motivation contributes towards reinforced behaviors not being displayed and punished behaviors being displayed.\nLearn why emotional responses are more immediate than though-out ones.\nUnderstand classical extinction and how to apply it\, reinstatement of an extinguished response\, renewal and spontaneous recovery.\nLearn the various types of counter conditioning and how to apply them effectively.\nDevelop skills to ensure a smooth desensitization process.\nAvoid the pitfalls of flooding.\n\n\n\nAbout Your Presenter \n       \nAlexandra Santos is a professional canine behavior consultant and trainer\, with formal education through The Animal Care College in the U.K. where she graduated with honors for the Diploma of Advanced Canine Psychology\, and through The Companion Animal Sciences Institute where she graduated with distinction for the Diploma of Advanced Dog Training. \nShe is the author of the books “Puppy Problems”\, “Puppy Training: How to house train your puppy effectively”\, “How to leash train your dog and enjoy walking him”\, “O meu cão e eu”\, “Cão educado\, dono feliz” (published in Portugal)\, and has also authored and co-authored several articles for the Journal of Applied Companion Animal Behavior and the International Institute for Applied Companion Animal Behavior. \nAlexandra lives and works in Lisbon\, Portugal\, as a guest professor at Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias and provides individual coaching for dogs and their people.

Don’t worry: this is different from other conferences you’ve attended (and not just because you can watch from your bed) – we promise that learning about new medicine topics can be fun. Our speakers were chosen because they are informative and entertaining. \nOur medicine speakers are familiar with engaging an audience\, and with years of real life experience in the field\, they can incorporate personal experience and authentic humor into sessions. It’ll be anything but boring. \nWe know that keeping veterinary professionals engaged with hours of content after a busy week is no small task – but\, to brag on ourselves a little bit – that’s exactly what we did with NoodleU. We cannoli shake our heads at how wonderful it all turned out to be. \n\n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker: Shawn Achor\nHarvard Researcher | Bestselling Author of The Happiness Advantage \nLinking Positive Brains to Performance \nMost business is done under the guideline that: if you work harder\, you will be more successful\, and then you will be happy. This formula is scientifically backward. What over a decade of research shows is that training your brain to be positive first actually leads to greater success at work. In fact\, only 25% of job success is predicted by intelligence\, the rest is determined by your optimism\, social support network and the ability to manage energy and stress in a positive way. Based on Shawn’s book\,The Happiness Advantage (2010) and research studying top performers at Harvard\, the world’s largest banks and Fortune 500 companies\, Shawn explains what positive psychology is\, how much we can change\, and practical applications and strategies for reaping the Happiness Advantage in the midst of change and challenge. \n\nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.noodleu.com/medicine-program URL:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/event/online-conference-11-7-20-and-11-8-20-medicine-weekend-noodleu-fee-applies/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Online Conference ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/puppy-vet-veterinarian-dog-doctor-919223.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201107T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201107T133000 DTSTAMP:20260403T115127 CREATED:20201019T202113Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201019T202113Z UID:10000654-1604746800-1604755800@www.sheltermedportal.com SUMMARY:Online Course - 11/7/20 - Neighborhood Cats TNR Certification Workshop - The Community Cats Podcast (fee applies) DESCRIPTION:Join Neighborhood Cats and The Community Cats Podcast on November 7\, 2020\, from 2:00–4:30 p.m.** EDT to find out everything you need to know to become part of the solution for feral and stray cats in your neighborhood.
