Webinar - 11/3/21 - Shaping Up Shaping. Presented by Dr. Karolina Westlund - PPG (fee applies)
2021-11-03 11:00 - 12:00 | Virtual

• Why the 80% rule is problematic.
• Bold shaping.
• Cautious shaping – pingponging.
• How the 10 Laws of Shaping evolved into the Modern Principles of Shaping.
• Some common shaping mistakes – and how to address them.
Shaping is the sharpest tool in the animal trainer’s box…theoretically. Practically, it can be hard to execute, and many trainers get stuck. Hopefully, this lecture will provide you with some ideas of how to get unstuck.

Online Conference - 11/4/21 to 11/5/21 - Canadian Violence Link Conference - Humane Canada (fee applies)
2021-11-04 07:00 - 15:00, 2021-11-05 06:00 - 14:00 | Virtual
Animal abuse often occurs before or alongside the abuse of people. This is known as the Violence Link. In a social system that is over taxed and underfunded, the sector marginalizes animal welfare even though evidence shows there is greater benefit in acting holistically, thereby providing better support for victims and reducing the vulnerability of animals and people.
The Canadian Violence Link Conference is an innovative, ground-breaking event that examines the link between interpersonal abuse and animal abuse, looking at the vulnerabilities in both populations and how they intersect. This biennial conference brings together criminal justice system stakeholders that work to prevent and address violence against people or animals for cross-sectoral training on how to collaborate and stop the cycle of violence.

What to Expect
The National Violence Link Conference is an opportunity for stakeholders whose work intersects the Violence Link to gather, learn and network. You will have the opportunity to deepen your understanding of the Violence Link and learn about the latest trends and intervention strategies designed to end the cycle of violence. This two-day conference will feature interactive, engaging sessions where you can network with professionals in your region, learn how to break down silos and build important relationships that will assist you in your day to day work.

Learning and Networking Opportunities

Skills to examine the correlation between human vulnerability and animal vulnerability
An understanding of the root causes of animal abuse and its connection to interpersonal and societal violence
An ability to identify the indicators of interpersonal violence and the steps to responding
An ability to identify the indicators of animal abuse and the steps to investigation and prosecution of these crimes
The opportunity to create new networks and relationship that will enhance your work toward ending violence
The opportunity to explore community-level partnerships and collaborations

Webinar - 11/4/21 - The Hidden Life of Behavior Chains: Breaking, Repairing, and Maintaining Behavior Sequences - FDSA (fee applies)
2021-11-04 15:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
Behavior chains are wonderfully simple–just use cues to reinforce cued behaviors–yet it’s so easy to get drawn into complexities. Especially when things start to go wrong, we can get caught up in superstitions or wishful thinking (“If we just keep doing it, he’ll start to get it right! Any moment now!”).
Let’s talk about the care and feeding of behavior chains, how to maintain them reliably and how to repair them efficiently when something goes wrong. We’ll even discuss when we might want to break them, and of course how to build strong chains when we want to keep them.
By the end of this session, you will know how to identify the broken link in a chain (which may not be the one which looks broken), how to keep chains reliable, and how to test your chain before you assemble it.
