SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/7/22 - Highly Sensitive Dogs - Dr. Maya Bräm - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:The understanding that personality influences how an individual reacts to (environmental) stimuli has markedly increased in the past years. This is reflected by the rising number of studies on this topic not only in humans\, but also in animals. As dogs live in the same social environment and in near proximity with humans\, this species is particularly suitable to study in this respect. One personality trait that has been shown to have such an influence in humans – and now also in dogs – is high sensitivity or “sensory processing sensitivity”. \nThis webinar will give an insight into this personality trait\, present the most interesting results of our research in dogs and offer some suggestions of how this knowledge might help prevent and treat (behavioural) problems and thereby increase the quality of life of dogs and their surroundings. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/highly-sensitive-dogs.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/10/22 - How to Help Puppies & Kittens that Require Confinement During Socialization - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Kittens and puppies can be put on mandatory confinement during the socialization period due to surgery\, injury or other medical issues. When these patients are confined during the socialization period\, they can experience a negative impact with socialization and can suffer from behavioral problems later in life. This program will show techniques that will keep the patient safe and mentally stimulated. \nLearning Objectives: \nAttendees will learn techniques to help keep confined animals calm – They will learn how to provide mental and physical exercise to patients that require confinements – They will also learn ways to help puppies and kittens socialize while confined. \nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 1\, IAABC 1\, KPA 1 \nAbout the Presenter \nAn internationally sought-after speaker\, Shannon has been a pet lover all her life and a dog trainer for over 20 years.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/10/22 - Friendly for a Reason: Expanding Shelter-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return Eligibility for Cats - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, community cat programs using shelter-neuter-vaccinate-return (SNVR) and trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) have focused mostly on feral or fractious cats. But the most effective community cat programs take a more expansive approach. Listen as two cat programming experts talk about the issue of friendly community cats and their on-the-ground experience with saving more lives in different areas of the country. They’ll challenge your views on returning friendly cats with personal stories about their interactions with community members and discuss topics like safe SNVR practices and the benefits of expanding program eligibility. \nThis webinar is part of the Fall 2022 Webinar Series. Each webinar is pre-recorded and registering by October 12 gets you first access delivered directly to your inbox on the webinar date. Register for all five webinars or choose only the ones relevant to you. \nPresenter: Alesha Davidson – National Shelter Embed Program Specialist\, Best Friends Animal Society \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://network.bestfriends.org/education/2022-fall-webinar-series-registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/10/22 - Train This Now! The Short List for your New Puppy - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Five core concepts that a baby can learn. Each one offers several tangents of training that will expand your puppy’s readiness for the world. \nWe used to train all the things as young as possible\, and puppies were often overwhelmed. Nowadays we tend to train very little while we let the relationship take shape. Our babies are learning at a phenomenal rate whether we like it or not\, so it’s important to teach them some things and it’s important to choose wisely! What to train when? Which things can wait a little longer and which things are best to teach while your puppy is very young? \nEach of these five lessons can be built over the next few weeks and you can build the more advanced elements over the next few months. You and your puppy will benefit immediately when you get started. Life skills and convenience\, confidence\, manners and learning to learn. This is a core group of compatible concepts that even a baby can master. You and your puppy will love the fun and games approach\, and you’ll enjoy a lifetime benefit from starting young. \nNote: This webinar is back by popular demand.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/15/22 - Vibrant\, Vulnerable Village Dogs and What We Can Learn About Our Pets From Them - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Many dog guardians\, dog behaviour experts\, and dog researchers have a keen interest in village dogs (and other dogs who live at large). Some of the interest is simple: a curiosity about how these dogs live. However\, some people suggest that village dogs live a life which is much improved\, welfare-wise\, over the life of a pet dog. In this webinar\, dog trainer and anthropologist Kristi Benson will provide an introduction to village dogs (including definitions and geography). She will also review welfare-compromised and positive aspects of village dogs lives before looking at some of the lessons we can learn for pet dogs: enrichment\, foraging\, socializing\, environmental choices\, and so on. She will also comment on some of the potential pitfalls and flaws in the discussions about village dogs. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nEvaluate sources of expertise on village dogs and dog welfare\nUnderstand the difference between seeking good consequences vs. getting relief\, and why those separate motivations matter to this\ntopic\nIdentify the naturalistic fallacy in the context of discussing village dogs\nDevelop new ways to improve pet dog welfare based on lessons from village dogs\n\nAbout the Presenter \nKristi Benson is an honours graduate of\, and now on staff at\, the Academy for Dog Trainers. At the Academy\, she is a student mentor and coach\, and is in charge of the weekly webinars. Kristi is also in charge of special projects\, including the Husbandry Project\, which is a large co-operative veterinary care research study working with hundreds of dog owners\, testing the efficiency and usefulness of a series of training plans. In her private practice\, Kristi works with dog guardians through her self-paced online classes. She also loves helping both the dogs and the humans in the equation and brings her trademark combination of humour and compassion to her courses\, no matter the topic. \nKristi also enjoys reaching out to dog owners through writing. Besides her own blog\, she also regularly writes for the Academy for Dog Trainers’ blog and is a Special Correspondent to Zazie Todd’s Companion Animal Psychology. For ten years\, she ran a sled dog micro-rescue with her partner\, and fostered\, house-trained\, obedience-trained\, and re-homed racing sled dogs. She lives rurally in northern British Columbia\, Canada. She has gained the PCBC-A credential\, is Fear Free certified\, and is on the Fear Free Speaker’s Bureau. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4986127
