SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/8/23 - The Handler End of the Leash: How Body Language Tells the Tale with Suzanne Clothier - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Much of dog training is focused on the dog\, or the mechanics of markers and rewards. Yet in many ways\, handlers can and do affect their dog’s behavior and learning. Many training problems are rooted in communication issues\, caused by a handler’s body language and unintended messages. \nThe dog’s understanding of the handler’s behavior is built in the details of how the handler typically moves\, laughs\, smiles\, speaks\, breathes\, etc. in familiar and comfortable settings. But under stress\, in unfamiliar or challenging situations\, things can change. Shifts in the handler signals to the dog that the person he relies on is alarmed\, angry\, worried\, or even afraid. Depending on the dog\, this can have significant impact on behavior. We can be more effective in helping the dog when we understand the handler in new ways\, and have practical approaches to help them say what they mean and mean what they say. \nLearning Objectives \nMeta-messages – seeing the whole picture\nBreathing – how breathing impacts our ability to move\, learn and think\nMuscle tension & quality of movement\nFlexion\, balance & stance – warning\, welcoming\, worried or wild?\nBlink rate and expression – what story does your face tell?\nCore & gaze orientation – how we signal our awareness and focus \nAbout Your Presenter \nSuzanne Clothier has been working with animals professionally since 1977. Her positive and humane approach\, Relationship Centered Training™ (RCT) promotes promote healthy\, respectful and joyful dog/human connections. \nThe author of Bones Would Rain from the Sky: Deepening Our Relationships With Dogs (2002)\, her innovative programs include Treat/Retreat\, the Enriched Puppy Protocol\, CARAT™\, RAT™\, FAT™\, as well as many RCT techniques\, online courses and webinars. A trainer of trainers\, she has taught on a broad range of topics throughout the US and internationally\, and served as a consultant to major service dog schools. \nCEUs: PPAB 1 & IAABC 1 \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-5202798

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/4/23 - Guardians of their Galaxy: Addressing Resource Guarding in Dogs - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:When dogs protect access to something they value – like food\, toys\, bones\, a spot on the couch\, or maybe even a favourite person – we call it “resource guarding”. \nResource guarding is a common issue. It can lead to aggression and other undesirable behaviours that can put human and other animal family members at risk. \nDuring this webinar\, we’ll explore effective management and training techniques to address resource guarding. \nYou’ll learn how to recognize the signs of guarding behaviours\, how to prevent it from developing in puppies\, and how to modify the behaviour in adult dogs. \nThis webinar is a must-attend for dog owners\, trainers\, and anyone interested in better understanding\, managing\, and modifying dog behaviour. \nInstructor: Nancy Tucker \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/27/23 - FUNctional Obedience: Where the RUBBER Meets the Road - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Does living with your dog sometimes feel like you’re riding in a Ferrari with a newly licensed teenager\, and you’re barely holding on? Or\, maybe you feel like you’re tootling along with a senior driver in an older Buick\, smoke pouring out of the exhaust\, waving people off the sidewalk? Either way\, the partnership is not going how you imagined. You’re not alone\, and there are many ways to help you and your dog feel more like a team. \nWe all have different lifestyles our dogs need to learn how to dog in\, and this is where the “RUBBER” (Relationship\, Utilitarian Behaviors\, Boundaries\, Expectations and Reinforcement) meets the road in FUNctional Obedience. \nIn this session\, we will draw real world analogies to help you think about the relationship you currently have with your dog\, and to describe where you hope that relationship goes. Continuing the car analogy\, I have a high mileage stop and go lifestyle with three low mileage\, high octane malinois. Have you considered how you would describe your lifestyle-dog relationship using the car analogy? Each dog\, even within their breed\, is individual in their “gears” and “drivability” much like their automotive (and human!) counterparts. Each dog has unique maintenance needs\, both physical and mental! The same is true with us humans – and this is where relationship building truly begins! \nThis webinar will help you identify your dog’s needs\, and more importantly your needs\, within your life at this moment. The Relationship\, Utilitarian Behaviors\, Boundaries\, Expectations and Reinforcement that I establish with my dogs\, especially in my multi-dog household\, keeps our day-to-day running smoothly. Here’s how: \n–> Relationships allow us to understand one another.\n–> Utilitarian Behaviors are the key to day-to-day life and reduce conflict. (There are behaviors that can help us enjoy life together better that we may not realize without reflection.)\n–> Boundaries are key to building strong relationships. Setting boundaries creates a safe environment where everyone’s needs can be met.\n–> Expectations give us habits and routines through consistency.\n–> Reinforcement is incredibly FUN and builds and solidifies all of the components… \nwhen the RUBBER meets the road. \nLet me help you see both yourself and your dog differently\, while reflecting on ways to improve your life with your dog through FUNctional obedience\, no matter what your competition or non-competition goals are. This webinar is about reflecting\, planning and observing your day-to-day life and how to make it better for both you and your dog(s). (Plus\, spending time with an ADHD high school art teacher of 20+ years by day\, and protection sport decoy/helper with three malinois by night\, is guaranteed entertainment and education! Hope to see you soon!) \nPresenter: Crystal Wing \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/27/23 - Surviving an Urban Environment with a Control Freak - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:A deep dive into the herding breeds\, their selection and the reason why they do things that challenge owners and trainers on a daily basis. \nA lot of the herding breeds that are now popular in sport and pet homes are considered the most intelligent and easy to train breed and yet\, most are faced with such a high prey drive and need to control movement that sometimes a normal walk with them feels impossible. \nWhere is this desire to control everything that moves comes from? How can we avoid it from the beginning or if the behavior is already happening\, how do we help our dogs to focus on us instead of moving cars and bikes? \nMartina will explain the main management and training tools that she uses in her Herder Bootcamp programs for herding breeds dogs in urban and pet environment. \nPresenter: Martina Miradoli \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar – 4/21/23 – Surrender Prevention Series: Jumping – GoodPup
DESCRIPTION:This is the fourth installment of GoodPup’s new webinar series: Surrender Prevention; Addressing Common Behavioral Challenges. \nDuring the spring webinar series\, GoodPup will break down how to provide some preventive management and simple solutions for addressing a variety of common behavioral challenges experienced with the welcoming of new family members. The series begins in January with House Training struggles including common setbacks and the demands encountered within different lifestyles. Then they’ll dabble into other challenges during the following months including barking\, jumping\, mouthiness\, crate concerns and reactivity to unfamiliar people. \nThis month’s topic is: Jumping! \nThere are a variety of reasons that dogs jump.  It may provide a solution for them to get what they want or need.  Or\, it may just be a way for them to express themselves; to communicate.  And\, while jumping is a normal behavior for our dogs\, if left unaddressed\, it can certainly become an undesired and even unsafe one. \nIn this webinar GoodPup will focus on how best to address our dogs that love to jump. We’ll identify different reasons why our dogs jump. Then we’ll explore how to prevent the jumping from becoming a problem and we’ll build some plans together as a group to help us solve when jumping is already a problem. This is one team discussion you won’t want to miss. \nGoodPup will be following their April webinar with a May webinar on mouthy behavior.  Again\, they’ll discuss various situations where dogs express mouthiness; talk about how to use management to help prevent the behavior from ever starting and lastly look at some problem solving tips with dogs that are already displaying the behavior as a concern. \nRegister for this free webinar here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/surrender-prevention-series-jumping-tickets-604107099597 \nPresenter: \nKait Hembree VTS (Behavior)\, CVT\, KPA CTP\nHead of Training at GoodPup \nKait Hembree and her team designed the GoodPup Training Program using the latest scientific research and positive reinforcement training techniques.
