Webinar - 7/28/22 - An In-Depth Look at Counter Conditioning - PPG (fee applies)
2022-07-28 10:00 - 11:30 | Virtual
Feeding a dog in the presence of an eliciting stimulus is often masked as counter conditioning him. When it doesn´t work we label the process as ineffective or assume it’s not the best choice for that particular dog or situation. But the only times counter conditioning doesn’t work is if it’s not counter conditioning, if it’s not performed correctly, or if there is some physiological or neurological process inhibiting learning.
There are pillars that support a counter conditioning procedure. Novelty, salience, contingency, contiguity and timing are the main ones. Similarly, there are factors – mainly human error – that hinder the process. In this webinar we will explore those pillars and discuss human errors that make counter conditioning “ineffective”.
CEUs: PPAB 1.5, CCPDT 1.5, IAABC (pending), KPA 1.5
Instructor: Alexandra Santos
Learning Objectives
– Understand the importance and impact of novelty.
– What is more important? Contiguity, contingency, or both?
– Learn how pre-exposure to the US can make it less effective.
– Increase US salience while decreasing trigger salience.
– Learn about trace conditioning, simultaneous conditioning, short and long-delay conditioning and when to use them.
– The role of backward conditioning.
– Avoid common errors during a counter conditioning procedure.
– Some practical examples.

Webinar - 7/27/22 - Bio Writing to Build Connection - HeARTs Speak
2022-07-27 13:00 - 14:00 | Virtual
If photos and video open the door, then the descriptions and bios that we write for pets are what tend to seal the deal. Pet bios take many forms – most often as social media captions/descriptions or writeups on adoption sites. No matter where these will be seen, they become an important part of getting potential pet owners to take action and investigate adoption. This presentation will delve into how to use bios to help communicate effectively while also catching attention for long-stay or overlooked pets.
Topics covered include:
-How to use photo + video to maximize impact
-The importance of transparency and honesty in communications
-Strategies and activities to break through bio-writing boredom
-Avoiding the trap of stereotyping and proactively fighting misinformation
-How to shine extra light on long-stay pets

Online Event - 7/25/22 to 8/1/22 - Return to Home Challenge Registration Period - Maddie's Fund
2022-07-25 - 2022-08-01 | Virtual
At its core, the Return to Home Challenge is simple. Find a pet? Get it home. That home might be a cozy apartment, a house with a big yard or, if you’re a community cat, an abandoned lot.
For the month of October, 17 national organizations are inviting animal shelters and rescue organizations who handle lost/stray/at-large dogs and cats to elevate Return to Home (RTH) by creating a culture of return to home within their organization and community. In just 31 days, your organization can create or expand inclusive and diverse new programs or practices to make it easier for your community to help a lost pet or find a pet they have lost, and ultimately keep families together. Simple practices like microchipping, making information about lost pets easily accessible on your website and letting the community know what they should do if they find a cat can go a long way in keeping pets out of the shelter and getting them back into their homes.
Along with saving time, resources and shelter space to help those pets who really need it, you’ll have a chance at the $300,000 in grant prizes, thanks to Maddie’s Fund, Michelson Found Animals Foundation and Petco Love.
As with the previous Challenges, there will be plenty of help along the way. Resources from town halls, standard operating protocols, partnering with local businesses, creating flyers, photography tips and website best practices will be available. Additionally, four Zoom Huddles will be held with a diverse line-up of RTH experts. These Zoom events will bring you together with your peers who are successfully implementing RTH practices to share how they do it.
Note: This year we’ve expanded Return to Home to include the Return to Field/Shelter-neuter release (RTF/SNR) category in addition to the Return to Owner category on the Basic Data Matrix. Traditional trap-neuter-return, while invaluable to your community, is not included in this Challenge.
So, what do you say? Are you in? We hope so!

Webinar - 7/19/22 - The Complexities of Domestic Violence and Animal Abuse - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
2022-07-19 12:00 - 13:15 | Virtual
In domestic violence scenarios, animals frequently suffer abuse alongside the human victims. This presentation addresses the complexities that can arise from cases in which a domestic violence victim is also the primary witness to the crime of companion animal abuse; including the challenging cases that appear to rely on one person’s word against the other person’s. The presentation will utilize a hypothetical to illustrate a common scenario involving both domestic violence and cruelty to animals, and then address specific common issues that arise for the law enforcement, prosecutors, and veterinarians involved.
Webinars in this Series with the ALDF include:

Jan 20: Partners in Investigating Animal Crimes
March 24: Responding to Animal Crimes through a Restorative Justice Approach
June 2: Tomorrow We Ride! Investigating and Processing Equine Cruelty Cases
July 19: The Complexities of Domestic Violence and Animal Abuse (this webinar)
Nov 10: Courtroom Animal Advocate Programs: Approaching Animals as Quasi-Party Crime Victims

Webinar - 7/19/22 - Becoming a more wildlife-friendly agency - HSUS
2022-07-19 11:00 - 12:00 | Virtual
Does your agency’s mission for the humane treatment of animals extend not just to companion animals, but to wildlife too? Animal control facilities are increasingly tasked with responding to wildlife issues in their community, but standard operating procedures often stand in the way of achieving humane outcomes for wildlife. For instance, programs like trap-loan are well-intentioned, but in reality require unnecessary field response and agency resources, leave orphans behind, leave the root of the problem unaddressed, and inflict suffering on the very animals we work to protect.
Featuring the real agency experiences from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA), this webinar will provide the roadmap and resources needed to begin transforming the way your agency and community deals with wildlife. The benefits are humane outcomes for wildlife in your community, a reduced workload for officers in the field, and a greater awareness in the community about how to solve problems with wildlife.

Webinar - 7/14/22 - What Not to Pair: Changing the Value of Reinforcers & Punishers - Dog iBox (fee applies)
2022-07-14 10:00 - 11:30 | Virtual
Consequences drive behavior. Therefore, a deep understanding of the mutability of both reinforcers and punishers is essential for skillful training. What we consider an obvious positive reinforcer can actually transform, quite quickly, into a punisher through unintended learning. So we must avoid accidentally “poisoning” positive reinforcers, the foundation of humane behavioral interventions. Similarly, preserving the clear meaning of punishers is also necessary for our learners’ welfare. After this webinar, you will notice many examples in everyday situations of these accidental side-effects of training and will have alternative strategies to prevent them.
