Each cohort will be invited to optional twice-monthly (bi-weekly) hour-long\, live meetings via Zoom webinar so that questions can be answered live. The Zoom sessions will be recorded and shared only with the current cohort. \nAs of January 1\, 2023 the following fee structure will apply:\nShelter\, rescue\, or animal-related welfare organization staff and volunteers: no cost\nRegistration process for shelters\, rescues\, or animal-related welfare organizations: Individuals interested in joining each cohort must submit an “e-mail of interest” by the enrollment deadline to mara@shelterdogplay.org.

The program consists of Basic\, Foundation\, and Intermediate modules all of which must be completed to earn CEUs and/or a certificate of completion. Learners may continue their learning across only two cohorts. For example\, if an individual is enrolled in the Spring cohort and is not able to complete the program in the allotted time frame\, the learner may be enrolled in the Winter cohort in order to complete by the end of the year. 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
