    Webinar – 6/3/21 – Choice in the Shelter Setting – Texas Unites (fee applies)

    The shelter can inherently limit an animal’s ability to make choices.  How an animal performs in the shelter-setting can be greatly influenced by their collective experiences while in your care, beginning as soon as they walk through your doors.  How can we change our behavior to enable more choice for the animals in our care?  Join Allison Hartlage, KPA-CTP, CBCC-KA, CTC, CNWI and Manager of Animal Training and Behavior at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley to explore this important topic.

    CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters – 6/1/21 – Sheltering by Appointment – CASCAR – UC Davis KSMP

    If there’s one thing you’ve shared with us over the duration of this pandemic, it’s how beneficial more control over shelter intake and, more broadly, the shelter environment has been for both staff and animals. Some of you are rethinking how you’ll handle adoptions going forward, many of you have committed to reopening with service by appointment as the new norm, and others are trying on a hybrid approach.

    As California prepares to fully reopen in less than three weeks, we’re opening the CASCAR floor to hear from you this Tuesday: When it comes to sheltering by appointment, where are you now? What’s working and where are the biggest wins being gained so far? Where are the biggest challenges and fears still hanging out? What’s the one thing still standing in your way?

  • Webinar – 6/3/21 – Working with Dogs That Lack Enthusiasm – FDSA (fee applies)

    Webinar – 6/3/21 – Working with Dogs That Lack Enthusiasm – FDSA (fee applies)

    Some dogs just don’t appear to be enthusiastic about training. This may present as a lack of enthusiasm for all training related activities, or it may be specific to a certain sport or individual task (e.g. dumbbell retrieve). In some cases, the dog may even appear to lose interest in training after a period of what appeared to be enthusiastic, engaged work.

    The observable behaviors may include:

    • Responding slowly to cues, needing repeated cues, or stopping responding altogether.
    • Leaving you or the training area during a session.
    • Avoiding eye contact with you or the task.
    • Engaging in displacement behaviors such as sniffing the ground during an active training session.
    • Developing a reluctance to join you at the start of a training session.

    In this webinar we discuss common reasons why these behaviors may occur, including:

    • Feeling fearful, anxious, frustrated, or conflicted.
    • Physical limitations.
    • Low levels of mental stamina.
    • Sensitivity to making mistakes.
    • Sensitivity to changes in the environment.
    • Impact of prior learning history.

    Most importantly, we also discuss simple strategies to put the enthusiasm back into the training process, for both the dog and the human!
