SUMMARY:4/25/24 - Why Animals Need Trainers Who Adhere to the Least Intrusive Principle: Improving Animal Welfare and Honing Trainers’ Skills - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Recent interest in basic and applied research on negative reinforcement creates an opportunity to confirm the understanding of why animals need trainers who support the least intrusive principle in selecting behavior-change procedures. In this presentation\, we will\n1) examine the rationale for a hierarchy of behavior-change procedures according to the least intrusive principle\,\n2) consider the principle’s impact on animal welfare and trainers’ skills\,\n3) explore the research comparing positive and negative reinforcement for addressing escape-maintained behavior\,\n4) review alternative solutions to negative reinforcement\, and\n5) acknowledge recent concerns about the adoption of a procedural ethical guideline as it applies to the animal training profession. \nThese concerns offer the animal training community the opportunity to disagree well when disagreement exists. \nPresenter: Dr. Susan G. Friedman \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/why-animals-need-trainers-who-adhere-to-the-least-intrusive-principle-improving-animal-welfare-and-honing-trainers-skills.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/24/24 - The Healthy Animal-Healthy Community Initiative - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, animal welfare organizations in the US have shifted their focus towards addressing the root causes of animal problems\, realizing the importance of addressing the human aspect of the issue. Program models have moved away from shelter-based services to more preventive\, community-based solutions. The Animal Rescue League of Boston recognized this shift and updated its mission and vision to include bringing veterinary and wellness services directly to those who need it most\, ensuring that animals are safe and healthy in communities rather than shelters. \nThis case study explores the journey of the Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Wellness Waggin’ program\, from its conception to implementation\, including steps like determining a target area\, building community relationships\, securing funding\, and launching a pilot program. The Wellness Waggin’ is now a successful mobile veterinary unit that has completed over 14\,000 wellness care appointments since 2018. \nAttendees will leave the webinar with: \n\nA basic framework for implementing a new community-based program\, including an alternative grass-roots approach to engaging with community that is achievable for organizations of all sizes.\nIdeas for learning what each community needs\nWays to determine a target community for a new community-based program or for creating new community partnerships\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/4-24-24

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/25/24 - Invisible Advocates: How the Social Justice Movement Influences Animal Advocacy - Life of Riley
DESCRIPTION:Though efforts have been made within the animal advocacy movement to recognize intersections with human rights campaigns\, the latter are frequently classified as belonging to “other movements” that are separate and apart from animal advocacy. Using real-life examples\, presenters will explore ways in which individuals\, communities\, and groups have made transformative contributions (often unknowingly) to the success of animal advocacy through the framework of social justice.  This webinar is intended to bring awareness and appreciation to the many forms of hidden contributions that contribute to victories in animal advocacy. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \nFrom Companions and Animals for Reform & Equity (CARE): \n\nAkisha Townsend Eaton\, Chief of Policy\, Environmental Justice Division\nAline Silva\, Senior Director of Environmental Justice & Policy and Housing Specialist\n\n\n\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAudeChrTMiGtwXmyobJxAQ95RrCmW5oxoZ#/

SUMMARY:Online Event - 4/25/24 - Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection: Hyperarousal in Dogs - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:This month’s session topic: Hyperarousal in Dogs  \nGuest Speaker:  Dr. Jill Sackman\, Animal Behavior Consultants of Michigan \nHyperarousal behaviors are common in dogs and are often not correctly identified in the non-clinical behavior setting. Dogs with hyperarousal behaviors can be dangerous\, resulting in bruising and bites to family from jumping and grabbing. Injury is often serious enough that many dogs are relinquished. Effective assessment and treatment can result in a majority of dogs being able to stay safely in their adopted home.  This talk will review what is currently known about hyperarousal/ hypersensitivity syndrome in dogs and report on a treatment approach used by the author that has led to significant improvement in behaviors and most of the dogs being able to stay safely in their adopted homes. \nAbout Maddie’s Monthly Behavior Connection: Join us on the fourth Thursday of every month as we talk about dog and cat behavior – supporting pets in our community and animal shelters. Each month\, we hear from speakers about topics of interest to our group\, such as behavior medications\, modifying animal behavior\, assessing and improving animal welfare\, and how organizations successfully provide behavior support to dogs and cats. \nWho should join: Animal welfare staff and volunteers who are interested in dog and cat behavior\, and everyone who works to keep pets out of shelters and in homes. \nYou only need to register once for all meetings: https://maddies.fund/MonthlyBehaviorRegistration \nCan’t attend live? Register anyway and you will get a link to the recording within a day or two after each meeting. \nAll recordings and resources shared during the webcast will also be available in the Maddie’s Monthly Behavior Connection group on Maddie’s Pet Forum – https://maddies.fund/monthlybehaviorconnectionMPF \nMaddie’s Fund does not share registration information. \nThe opinions expressed by webinar presenters are their own and do not necessarily represent those of Maddie’s Fund. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddies.fund/MonthlyBehaviorRegistration
