SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/24/22 - “I’m out of Control!” Helping the Over-Aroused Animal - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Many of the behavior issues we see in pets – including biting – can relate to over-arousal. So how do we help the over-aroused animal? Whether you are faced with reactive\, aggressive\, or fearful behavior\, addressing over-arousal can be the key to improving behavior and keeping pets in their homes. In this presentation\, Irith will give you tips for identifying over-arousal and share practical tools to help you deal with over-arousal issues in pet animals. \nThis was previously aired at Geek Week 2021 \nLearning Objectives: \n\nBetter understand arousal and its effects.\nBe able to determine when “problem” behaviors relate to over-arousal.\nLearn training games that can help pets learn to manage their arousal levels.\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT (pending)\, IAABC (pending)\, KPA (pending) \nAbout the Presenter\nIrith Bloom has loved animals for as long as she can remember. She grew up with dogs\, gerbils\, and a pet snake (who was housed far from the gerbils) and was fascinated by horses. After years of (unsuccessfully) begging her parents to let her ride\, she took matters into her own hands and won a horse in an essay contest. Irith’s parents were too busy to train the animals\, so Irith became good at teaching useful (from the human point of view) skills to non-human animals. \nA self-admitted geek\, Irith has spent a great deal of time studying the science of behavior. She is fortunate enough to be invited regularly to give presentations on a variety of animal- and learning-related topics. Her writing on these topics has also been published both online and in print. \nIrith is faculty at Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior and dogbiz’s Dog Walking Academy. She is also a CPDT-KSA\, a CBCC-KA\, a CDBC\, a CSAT\, a KPA CTP\, a VSPDT\, and a CBATI\, as well as being certified in TAGteach\, a positive-reinforcement method for teaching humans. \nIrith is a member of the board of directors of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT)\, on the advisory board for Daily Paws\, chair emeritus of the Education Committee of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT)\, and a former member of the APDT Legislative Task Force. She also volunteers for National English Shepherd Rescue. \nIrith has a BA in biology from the University of Pennsylvania and lives in Los Angeles\, California. Her company\, The Sophisticated Dog\, LLC\, offers online training and behavior services to clients worldwide as well as limited in-person services for clients in her local area. Irith also offers consulting services for fellow pet professionals. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4987027

SUMMARY:Online Event – 10/27/22 – Maddie’s® Candid Conversation with Geraldine D’Silva - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Growing up in India\, Geraldine developed a deep understanding of equality and the human / animal bond. From an early age\, she’d care for stray dogs in her neighborhood – feeding them and taking them to a local shelter. Later\, that compassion expanded using her degree in Sociology which took her to remote villages to study the caste system and women’s empowerment\, and then volunteering with those experiencing homelessness. An M.B.A. from the Edinburgh Business School gave her even greater skills\, but as a foreigner both in Scotland and then in the U.S.\, finding meaningful work was a serious challenge. Join us to hear about her journey across the globe and what inspired her to be courageous in the face of adversity. \nMaddie’s Fund Executive Leadership Team member Mary Ippoliti-Smith hosts the discussion and Q+A. Afterwards\, continue the conversation with Geraldine on Maddie’s Pet Forum: https://maddies.fund/candidconvoGeraldineDSilva \nThe program will be recorded and made available on Maddie’s University for continuing education credit for both CAWA and NACA. \n \nWith work experience in three continents and over 10 years of operational leadership\, Geraldine has a passion for building innovative community programs and strategic partnerships to bridge the gap between human and animal well-being\, to increase access to care. She led a small non-profit through a merger & acquisition with one of the largest animal welfare organizations in the US\, and over 8 years strategically helped integrate the services throughout the 140-year-old animal shelter\, enabling it to pivot to the new community-centered model that is now unfolding. Brought up in India\, she did her B.A. in Sociology which took her to remote villages to study the caste system and women’s empowerment. She has an M.B.A. from the Edinburgh Business School in Scotland and a background in research consultancy\, advertising and branding. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddies.fund/REGISTERCandidConvoGeraldineDSilva

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/3/22 - Maddie's Insights: Emergency Fostering During the Pandemic - Takeaways for a post-pandemic world - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Maddie’s Insights are monthly webcasts with practical tips based on current research to help pets and people. \nOn March 11\, 2020\, the World Health Organization deemed the coronavirus outbreak a worldwide pandemic\, and subsequently a nationwide emergency was declared in the United States. During this time\, media outlets reported increased interest in foster caregiving and adoption of shelter pets. In this talk\, Dr. Gunter will describe her research team’s examination of canine foster caregiving at 19 US animal shelters during the first four months of the COVID-19 pandemic and what they learned about shelters’ utilization of foster caregiving\, the foster caregivers and their relationships to the shelter\, and how monetary resources influenced foster caregiving and dog outcomes. Specifically\, Dr. Gunter will discuss key takeaways for foster recruitment\, trial adoption programs\, caregiving practices\, and behavioral support that can be utilized in our post-pandemic world. \nAfter the webcast\, join us on Maddie’s Pet Forum to continue the discussion\, ask questions and exchange ideas: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastFoster \nThis webinar will be recorded and has been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association. \nRegister here: https://maddiesfund-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_g6N2KwBmSsOiXf07ht1sTQ \nPresenter\nDr. Lisa Gunter\, Assistant Professor\, Coastal Carolina University \nLisa Gunter\, PhD\, CBCC-KA is an Assistant Professor at Coastal Carolina University in the Department of Psychology. Before beginning her graduate studies\, she worked for nearly a decade with dogs in animal shelters and with pet dogs and their owners. The goal of Lisa’s research is to better the lives of companion animals and their owners. To this aim\, she has investigated the breed labeling of shelter dogs\, their breed heritage\, shelter housing and social interactions\, temporary and long-term fostering\, short-term outings\, behavioral indicators of welfare\, post-adoption interventions focused on owner retention – and more recently\, fostering during the pandemic and safety net programs to help keep people and their pets together. Under the mentorship of Clive Wynne\, Lisa earned her Master’s in 2015\, and her PhD in 2018 as a graduate student in the behavioral neuroscience and comparative psychology program at Arizona State University. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddiesfund-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_g6N2KwBmSsOiXf07ht1sTQ

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/3/22 - Learning How to Have Courageous Conversations - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Working in animal welfare is rewarding\, but it can also be emotionally taxing\, filled with endless highs and lows. Most of us are pretty good at learning the practical and professional skills needed to work in this field and deal with its challenges.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/3/22 - The Elemental Questions with Suzanne Clothier - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:How the dog responds to life is highly individual\, blending temperament with personality and history — and of course\, the environment and others around him. Understanding the dog within the context of this complex blend of information helps handlers work to modify and adapt their handling and goals for enhanced relationships and better performance. \nWhatever your training goals or sport\, the Elemental Questions™ help you truly “see the dog” and provide the detailed information about each animal as he is. This is where truly humane training is grounded: in detailed knowledge about the individual dog. \nSuzanne’s simple but powerful Elemental Questions are: \n\nHello? Looks at the dog’s social interactions\nWho are you? Asks about how the dog perceives and responds to his world\nHow is this for you? Asks about the immediate situation and the dog’s mental\, physical & emotional balance\nCan you…? Looks at the dog’s physical abilities & limitations\nMay I…? Seeks ways to gain the dog’s cooperation and permission\nCan we…? Balancing the dog/handler team’s abilities and limitations against goals\n\nFor each dog\, the answers to these questions provide a wealth of information to those interested in helping that dog be all that he can be. \nNote: This webinar is back by popular demand.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/5/22 - Play Is Magic! with Trish McMillan - Shelter Behavior Hub (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Humans can sometimes come off as untrustworthy of dogs. People may lure dogs in close with a treat and then suddenly reach toward or grab them. In shelters\, people walk by\, stare at the dogs\, and then continue walking by. But dogs? Dogs don’t lie to their dog friends. If you’re out in the play yard and your new best dog friend tells you the humans are OK\, you might just believe them. And if humans approaching the front of your kennel means you’re about to go to playgroup or on a group walk\, you may start thinking humans are OK too.
