While playgroups are the foundation of our shelter training program, teaching shelter teams how to implement a generalized, effective, and enjoyable way to handle and train their dogs is another essential aspect of our canine programming! In this webinar, we will teach the fundamentals of our “Fancy Footwork” techniques that focus on achieving good leash manners through the use of your FEET instead of your hands. Come learn this unique and highly effective approach that promotes dogs happily walking softly by your side, offering tons of eye contact, and wowing adopters! This new approach to leash work will enhance your handling skills and increase your ability to train ALL dogs, even those that are highly aroused, stressed, fearful, or not motivated by food, all in an effort to improve quality of life and lifesaving for dogs living in shelters.

Additionally, we will teach you how to implement our critically important kennel routines. The kennel areas of our nation’s shelters can be one of the most challenging and distressing environments that dogs–and their handlers–ever face. DPFL kennel routines have been developed and taught to shelters across the country in an effort to combat these challenges and to provide safer and more successful ways for dogs and people to maneuver through the kennels.

This is a 1.5-hour presentation followed by a Q&A session. This webinar will NOT be recorded and is scheduled on EASTERN TIME.

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.”

Let’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!

It’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.

Do you often feel like you?

• Are constantly nagging clients.
• Having suggestions and ideas pushed back.
• Hear “yeah but” all the time.
• Feel your client relationship is confrontational.
• Return to a client’s home and find no progress has been made in your absence
• Find yourself constantly “splaining” everything

Well, Did you know that?

• Clients, like all humans, make choices that do not always align with their goals.
• Clients may, at times, lack self-control.
• Clients have no commitment vehicle to help them stay on track.
• Clients don’t see or recognize the ambivalence between their stated goal and behavior.

In this webinar, Niki will introduce the concept of Motivational Interviewing and Commitment Strategies.

Learn 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.

Learn About

• Interviewing techniques to bring about change
• What to avoid in developing a collaborative professional-client relationship
• How to guide clients through their own behavior change
• How to stop “splaining” and empower autonomy in your clients

Grief, along with guilt, shame and blame, get in the way of good training.

Why? What can we do about these feelings?

A careful and thoughtful consideration of all kinds of grief including: anticipatory, masked, cumulative, internally/externally driven- and the emotional baggage (guilt, hurt feelings, shame, and blame) that often comes with it.

What is it? What does it look and feel like? How does it block us and most importantly how do we move through it? Learn specific actionable techniques to cope better with navigating your own emotions and other people’s comments, judgements and reactions to deal with grief, shame, blame and guilt.
