SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/23/24 - Counter-conditioning for Fearful and Anxious Dogs: How to Get it Right with Dr. Zazie Todd - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:When a dog is frightened\, we often make use of classical conditioning. Counter conditioning is a very effective tool to help dogs learn to like things they were previously afraid of\, but many people make mistakes in its implementation—and then think it hasn’t worked. This talk will give an overview of those all-important details and why they matter. \nThe details include how to make a clear contingency\, when and how to combine counterconditioning with desensitization\, and the role of an element of surprise. Plus we’ll talk about the best ways to explain these ideas in client-friendly ways. Along the way there will be nods to the science of counter-conditioning and how it has changed since the days of Pavlov. \nLearning Objectives \n\nSpot common mistakes that people make in counter-conditioning\nUnderstand the role of an element of surprise\nDevelop and perfect counter-conditioning plans\n\nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.petprofessionalguild.com/webinars-events/webinars/counter-conditioning-for-fearful-and-anxious-dogs-how-to-get-it-right-wiht-dr-zazie-todd/

SUMMARY:Online Event - 10/24/24 - Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection - Play Aggression in Cats: Taming the Too-Frisky Kitty - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:The name play aggression is a misnomer as it can be a painful behavior for clients and other pets in the home to live with! This presentation will explain the overlap between play and predatory behavior in cats\, and why some cats take their predatory behavior too far. I’ll discuss how to distinguish play aggression from other forms of feline aggression. I’ll also present several humane ways to help prevent and stop play aggressive behavior\, while channeling all of that feline energy in positive directions! \nGuest Speaker: Mikel Delgado\, Cat Behavior Consultant\, Feline Minds \nJoin 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
