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/

Ethology is the scientific and objective study of how animals behave in the real world. This course will teach you the core concepts of ethology — how animals see their world\, and why they behave the way they do. \nYou’ll learn how the environment\, individual personality\, and genetics all interact.

THE ETHOLOGY OF OUR BEST FRIEND \nEthology is the scientific and objective study of animal behavior under natural conditions. In short\, it’s the study of how animals behave in the real world. \nThis course takes a deep dive into our understanding of dogs as a species\, and therefore how we live with them and train them\, how they learn\, and how we can best solve behavioral issues if they arise. \nTo address these questions we will consider: \n\nThe interplay between canine domestication\, evolution\, and behavior\nDevelopment in dogs: birth through adulthood\nThe perceptual world of the dog and how it impacts behavior\nHow dogs approach and solve problems in their environment\nThe role of genetics in behavior\nThe behavior of free-ranging dogs\n\nYou will come away from this course with an even deeper appreciation and wonder for these amazing animals we live with. You’ll never look at dogs—or dog training—quite the same way again. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://iaabcfoundation.org/courses/canine-ethology-bundle/

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
