Winter cohort registrants may be enrolled into the Spring cohort\, to complete by mid-year the following calendar year. Further extensions will not be granted. \nOther requirements: In order to complete the assignments\, learners must have access to at least two species of animals during the cohort period (e.g.\, dogs\, cats\, rabbits\, birds\, or horses). \nLearner Agreement: Each learner must sign an agreement stating that they will agree to the discussion rules\, not screen record the sessions or content\, nor use any of the materials provided for their own financial gain without prior written consent.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/5/23 - The Fenzi Method: Cutting Corners to Loose Leash Walking (Part 1) - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Is your dog is a chronic leash puller? If leash walking is a misery then this webinar is for you! The Fenzi “cutting corners” method can work even for dogs where other approaches have failed. It requires no food\, no highly controlled environments\, and allows for reasonably inexperienced handlers. This method is equally suited to a young puppy on dog directed socialization outings as it is for strong adult dogs with years of practice pulling on walks. And the best part? It works fast and without compulsive techniques by reducing frustration in both the puller and the pullee! If you are tired of being dragged around or a trainer who simply wants more options for helping your clients\, then join Denise and hear what she has to say about an entirely new approach! \nNote: This webinar is back by popular demand. Please check your webinar library before purchasing. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/5/23 - Circle Method for Basic Reactivity and Over Arousal (Part 2) - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is intended to provide advice\, interventions\, and skills for individuals working with reactive or overexcited dogs. “The circle method of Loose Leash Walking” will be used to help the behavior and emotional state of reactive and over-aroused dogs by allowing them to adjust to their environment\, reconnect with their handlers\, and become more emotionally comfortable in the presence of specific triggers. The method can be used regardless of food interest and does not require elaborate set-ups. The information presented will build upon the circle method of loose leash walking\, and will assume knowledge of that material. This webinar assumes professional or amateur trainers who can assimilate the information with a preexisting working knowledge of dog behavior\, reactivity and over-aroused behavior. \nNote: This webinar is back by popular demand. Please check your webinar library before purchasing. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/8/23 - First Impressions 101 – How Ritualized Introductions Can Turn a Scaredy Cat into a Social Butterfly - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Interactive cats who approach unfamiliar people in a friendly manner or remain relaxed as they are approached\, are much preferred by caregivers. In a shelter setting\, the more quickly cats approach potential adopters\, the sooner they get adopted. In contrast\, shelter cats who are less comfortable in the proximity of strangers have a mean length of stay as much as three times longer than that of their interactive counterparts and are more likely to be euthanized. Despite the risks for relatively fearful cats\, behavioral interventions for them rarely extend beyond environmental management and patience. \nAt Friends For Life Animal Shelter\, Melissa and colleagues have developed a simple\, novel\, and effective ritualized introduction method that trains undersocialized cats to display genuinely friendly and affectionate behavior towards new people. This protocol has been successful as a component of a socialization program for fearful cats\, and demonstrates a wider application for helping the typical “house feral” learn to look forward to meeting visitors in their home. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe how adoption programs can benefit from a structured approach towards socializing fearful shelter cats.\nOutline a step-by-step process for conditioning undersocialized cats to approach and solicit affection from new people in shelter and at home.\nIdentify components of a pre- and post- adoption support plan to ensure that fearful cat placements stick.\n\nAbout Your Presenter \nMelissa Taylor is the behavior and training manager at Friends For Life Animal Shelter in Houston\, Texas. She has logged more than 20 years in shelter animal behavior\, starting with an internship at the ASPCA’s Animal Behavior Center in New York City. She developed a lasting love for cooperative care from training livestock and wildlife as the coordinator of the Behavior and Training Department at the Houston SPCA\, and applies the same principles to the dogs\, cats\, exotics\, and humans she works with now at Friends For Life. \nOver the course of her career\, Melissa has focused on the development of shelter humane education programs\, particularly those for volunteers\, with the intention of mentoring new companion animal trainers and behavior consultants with practices steeped in evidence and based on building trust\, security\, and partnership. Melissa has started several shelter behavior volunteer programs and consults with other humane organizations on starting such initiatives of their own. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-5061308

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/10/23 - The Fear\, Anxiety & Stress Scale Deconstructed - Fear Free
DESCRIPTION:Wondering if the dog or cat you’re seeing should be scored on the Fear\, Anxiety & Stress (FAS) scale as FAS 2 or 3? This webinar can help! Fear Free’s FAS scale is a ubiquitous tool that provides veterinary and pet professionals with a consistent\, objective way to evaluate pets’ stress levels at any time in any environment. \nIn this webinar\, Fear Free’s Education Manager Lori Chamberland will take a closer look at each level of the FAS scale to empower you to score pets with greater confidence. You’ll watch video examples of pets at each level of the scale and discuss why it’s important to address stress early\, rather than waiting until FAS 3 or higher to intervene. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://fearfreepets.com/resources/webinars/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/12/23 - Hélène Lawler - Put Your Oxygen Mask On First: Living and Loving Dogs with Big Feelings - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:When our dogs have big feelings about the world\, they behave in ways that can make competing\, training\, and even daily life a challenge. \nThankfully\, there are now countless resources to help our dogs: Behaviourists\, training specialists\, medications\, on-line training and competing options\, gut-rebuilding protocols\, supplements\, massage and other body work\, and so much more! \nBut… What about YOU? \nWhat are you doing to support YOU? To help you with the anxiety\, stress\, grief\, disappointment\, fear\, or frustration that is also so often part of this picture? \nBecause\, what’s the point of moving heaven and earth to help Spot walk calmly down the street\, or up to a start line\, if you’re a miserable\, anxious mess at the other end of the leash? \nWe have dogs in our lives to bring us joy\, love\, and companionship. We do dog sports to have fun and find fulfillment through the process of taking that relationship to the next level. \nWhen our dogs struggle\, WE struggle. But it doesn’t have to be this way! It is possible to train yourself to feel calm and confident\, even when your dog does not. And when you feel good? You make better decisions\, have better response time\, and can even send some of that confidence down the leash to your dog. \nJoin me in this webinar to learn my unique\, step-by-step self-coaching process designed to help YOU help yourself feel peaceful\, calm and confident so that you can reclaim the joy of training. Even if your dog’s big feelings about the world never change (although\, quite often\, when we feel better\, so do they!) \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/18/23 - Breaking Down "Us vs. Them" Thinking to Build Stronger Connections - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Whether we realize it or not\, the polarization and uncertainty happening in society impacts every aspect of our lives\, including the workplace. When we feel that a core part of our values or our identity is threatened\, our instinct is often to contract\, to seek what feels comfortable\, predictable\, and safe. Yet it is precisely in these times when we need to expand\, to venture beyond the assumed safety of our comfort zones and echo chambers. We will explore 3 practices for expansion and how to broaden and diversify our social networks to make better decisions for our organizations. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/1-18-23

SUMMARY:Online Course - 1/18/23 - Surrender Prevention Certification Workshop - Community Cats Podcast (small fee applies)
