  Presented by Eileen Anderson

  CEU's PPAB 1

  

  Join Eileen Anderson for this thought provoking webinar on Canine cognitive dysfunction.  

  Canine cognitive dysfunction is a disease that is extremely under-diagnosed, with many dog owners learning what is wrong with their dog only when the dog may not have much time left. But many dogs with CCD can still live enriched lives, and some can profit from medical treatments and environmental changes. There is no magic cure, but early recognition of the disease will help many dogs live happier lives and help dog owners feel less alone.

  Eileen will share her own experience with her dog with CCD, who had a good life for two years after diagnosis. She’ll also cover general tips for caring for dogs with CCD, and offer resources for those who are considering euthanasia. This always difficult decision can be even more difficult for people when the dog involved is mentally deteriorating but physically healthy.

  Webinar Learning Objectives

  • Learn the symptoms of canine cognitive dysfunction and how it is diagnosed.
    
  • Learn about treatments and interventions, but also the reasons to be skeptical of “cures."
    
  • Learn about techniques and products that can help a dog with CCD have a good life for as long as possible.
    
  • Learn about existing resources that can aid in making a decision about euthanasia.

  About The Presenter

  
  

  
  Brittany began her dog walking business while she was attending UCSD. Before she knew it, she was walking 30 dogs/day. The last thing she wanted to do was work on the schedule, create invoices, and get back to customer requests. She felt like she was stuck on a hamster wheel of the daily grind.
  
  Brittany was on a search for years trying to find the right software solution. It was exhausting to come up empty handed. So, Brittany decided to set out and create a software that was a simple-to-use mobile business platform, Handlr.

  Presented by Kate Mallatratt
  

  CEUs PPAB,1.5. IAABC,1.5 and CCPDT,1.5.
  

  
  

  This presentation will consider the benefits of teaching your dog using the principles of errorless learning.  By setting up the classroom environment to limit our dogs' choices, we can explain more easily what we are asking of them rather than letting them guess.  This reduces learner frustration, increases the success rate and leaves your dog begging for more!

  The first part of the presentation considers the difference between errorless learning and trial and error learning.  It then looks at how to apply the principles to clicker training when free shaping and teaching more complex behaviors.  Finally, some applications for behavior modification are considered and a puppy errorless learning case study is discussed.

  
  

  Webinar Objectives

  • To understand the difference between errorless learning and constructivism (trial and error learning). 
  • To appreciate the benefits of errorless learning, the fallout of trial and error learning and the negative impact of frustration on behavior. 
  • To understand how to apply the principles of errorless learning to communicate with your dog more effectively. 
  • To be able to plan and set up the learning environment for minimal errors when clicker training and free shaping. 
  • To consider the applications of errorless learning for behavior modification.
