SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/3/23 - A New Approach to Working With Clients & Harnessing Autonomy and Empowerment for Success - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:One of the most stated reasons by professional trainers for a failure to perform successful services in pet training is two-fold. I often hear that ” the client was not committed or compliant.” \nLet’s stop this behavior-changing game we find ourselves in and begin to work with clients in a more collaborative model yielding success for all parties! \nIt’s not about control or win-loose\, or compliance. These words make us cringe when discussing behavior change in animals; let’s not apply these old concepts to our clients. \nDo you often feel like you? \n\nAre constantly nagging clients.\nHaving suggestions and ideas pushed back.\nHear “yeah but” all the time.\nFeel your client relationship is confrontational.\nReturn to a client’s home and find no progress has been made in your absence\nFind yourself constantly “splaining” everything\n\nWell\, Did you know that? \n\nClients\, like all humans\, make choices that do not always align with their goals.\nClients may\, at times\, lack self-control.\nClients have no commitment vehicle to help them stay on track.\nClients don’t see or recognize the ambivalence between their stated goal and behavior.\n\nIn this webinar\, Niki will introduce the concept of Motivational Interviewing and Commitment Strategies. \nLearn how these can be used to harness a client’s ambivalence and then use this ambivalence to motivate effective behavior change. She will also discuss various types of commitment strategies that can be used to hold clients accountable for their own words and goals. \nLearn About \n\nInterviewing techniques to bring about change\nWhat to avoid in developing a collaborative professional-client relationship\nHow to guide clients through their own behavior change\nHow to stop “splaining” and empower autonomy in your clients\n\nCEUS Pending PPAB\, KPA\, CCPDT\, IAABC \nPresented by Niki Tudge \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-5295867

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/6/23 - Wait for It: Discussing Duration in All Its Forms - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Duration comes in many forms in dog training. Down stays\, calm holds\, or a sustained sit pretty are what we normally think of when adding duration to behaviors. However\, performing motion behaviors such as heeling or leg weaves are duration behaviors too. \nFor some dogs duration comes naturally. However\, for others\, every fraction of a second of duration is fought for over time. Some dogs are content waiting for the next cue\, while others want to jump ahead and do the next behavior as quickly as possible. These dogs need different approaches\, however the concept of duration remains the same: do the thing until I ask for another thing. \nThe other aspect of duration is the emotion and energy level that the dog is in while performing the behavior. Down stays require a different energy level than that of a heads up heel. Both are duration behaviors\, however\, the desired state of mind of our dog is vastly different. Sara will discuss how to create the optimal emotion in your behavior through the strategic use of reinforcement delivery. \nSara will also provide different methods of adding duration to your calm stationary behaviors and stays\, including the Multiple Reward Stay and Reverse Luring. She will also talk about how to create duration in your motion behaviors as well through gradual fading of helper cues and decreasing rate of reinforcement. \nSo sit and stay! You’ll want to settle in for this presentation. \nPresenter: Sara Brueske \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars
