Slow Thinking: Why It’s Important & How To Teach It webinar

Presented by Laura Donaldson

 

Webinar Recording Cost £15.00

(Free for ICB Members)

 

About this webinar

There is intense discussion these days about transforming dog training through innovative approaches for old and often very persistent canine behavior issues. The Slow Thinking is Lifesaving for Dogs® programme has been an important part of this paradigm shift. While Laura originally developed this program for dogs struggling with aggressive behaviour, she quickly noticed that it helped significantly with other behaviour issues. It is also a great foundation for puppies and young dogs because this programme is all about helping dogs develop effective coping strategies enabling them to self-regulate and THINK when they become aroused or stressed, rather than rehearsing the all-too-familiar barking, lunging, growling and even biting. ICB invites you to take a deep dive with Laura into how our dogs can learn to slow down cognitively, emotionally and behaviourally. This online seminar highlights the importance of effective information processing to slow thinking and particularly focuses on the information processing systems known as perception and neuroception. Viewers will gain knowledge about:

  1. The relevance of an information processing model for canine behavioural issues.
  2. Why and how a balance between “top-down” cognition-based perception and “bottom-up” body-based neuroception is critical to developing the capacity for slow thinking.
  3. Why social processing is just as important as social engagement and what happens when we pressure dogs for social engagement before they are ready.
  4. Practical strategies for helping their own or clients’ learn slow thinking and social processing skills

Emotional Regulation in Dogs webinar

Presented by Emma Lee

 

Recording Cost £15.00

(Free for ICB Members)

 

About this webinar

In this webinar Emma Lee discusses:

  • The dog as a social and cognitive being: why regulation is important in social relationships, in forming attachments, in learning how to interact positively and productively with others, in making friends and in forming effective relationships
     
  • Regulation is taught not caught: the developmental processes of regulatory skills in puppyhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age
     
  • Development of different regulatory skills in dogs: cognitive processing, coping strategies for frustration, managing stress, coping skills, focus, resilience, tenacity and perseverance
     
  • Dysregulation: the problems that may occur when dogs struggle to manage their emotions from frustration to anxiety and aggression
     
  • Regulation is not a synonym for manners: why self- and co-regulation are more than just learning to be still or calm
     
  • Co-regulation: the importance of social support in canine development

PAIN! Exploring the link between posture, pain and behaviour

PAIN! Exploring the link between posture, pain and behaviour webinar

 

Presented by Sarah Fisher

Webinar Recording Cost £15.00

(Free for ICB members)

About the Webinar

Comfort expands, discomfort restricts. Pain and/or an expectation of pain can limit a dog’s ability to learn as well as impacting on his life quality. With greater awareness modifications can be made to the dog’s environment, lifestyle, and human led interactions. Pain is a common factor in many behaviour struggles and is often overlooked; chronic pain in particular can be hard to identify. Pain can be linked to skeletal issues, ill-health, dental problems, natural biological changes during adolescence, soft tissue strain and gut discomfort etc. Even if the original reason for pain has been addressed, compensation patterns and pain expectation can have an ongoing impact on emotional and physical wellbeing. Pain can increase the tendency for a dog to display behaviours such as resource guarding, compulsive type behaviours including toy ‘obsessions’, jumping up, pulling on a lead, mouthing, harness sensitivity, sensory sensitivity including noise sensitivity, and reactivity towards other dogs. Many ‘high drive’ dogs have underlying pain, and we always need to consider if a dog has a busy brain, or body pain. There is a direct link with posture and behaviour; slowing movement down in ACE Free Work helps caregivers to recognise postural patterns that might warrant further veterinary investigations. Free Work is not only beneficial to the dog but can improve a caregiver’s observations by noting what sensory items a dog enjoys, as well as those he actively avoids. ACE Observations are an important part of canine guardianship and postural patterns are in place at an early age; identifying how a dog organises his body when on the move and at rest can help caregivers and guardians join the dots and access the right support for their companion. Coat patterns can provide important feedback about a dog’s wellbeing, as can the habitual position and organisation of his ears, limbs, neck, back, tongue, and tail. Pain is a personal experience for every being and we need to keep an open mind and question everything we do, everything we believe, and everything we see; but never question the dog because the dog is always right.

About the presenter

Sarah Fisher is a canine and equine behaviour advisor and educator. She has worked with animals for over twenty years and is the founder of Animal Centred Education. She is passionate about sharing the importance of improving observations, the link between posture, pain, and behaviour, and teaching the value of helping dogs to move efficiently and in balance.

ACE techniques including ACE Observations and ACE Free Work enable dogs to reset, and rebalance. They help to improve communication with and understanding of the dogs in our care, can highlight potential physical problems early on thus minimising the risk of injury and reducing many common behaviour struggles, modify habits in both the caregiver and the canine, and can help achieve, and maintain, good physical and emotional well-being.

Sarah is experienced with a wide range of breed types and teaches staff workshops for many of the UK’s animal welfare organisations including Battersea. She has also worked in Europe teaching staff workshops for shelters and has taught workshops and clinics for dog trainers and behaviourists in Holland, Greece, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, South Africa, Ireland, Cyprus, Romania and Poland. She has taught multiple workshops and online seminars for a wide range of organisations including companion dogs, dogs in rescue, search dogs and assistance dogs.

Sarah gives presentations on a variety of topics at dog training and behaviour seminars in the UK and abroad, and is a regular speaker at the annual Dog Behaviour Conference organised by Victoria Stilwell Positively. She also conducts behaviour assessments for private clients, animal welfare organisations, and court cases.

Ethological Contributions to “Behavior Problems” in Dogs – Kim Brophey


Ethically and effectively working cases as a canine behavior professional requires us to perform both
initial and ongoing comprehensive analysis of all contributing elements to a dog’s behaviour. In this webinar, participants
are introduced to Kim Brophey’s widely celebrated and endorsed L.E.G.S.® system of Applied
Ethology as a simple and practical framework for doing so – bridging multiple scientific disciplines and
delivering new depths of understanding by organizing the critical components of all animal behaviour.
Learn how to identify, understand, and integrate the full scope of potential factors influencing behaviour
Learned, Environmental, Genetic, and unique internal conditions of the individual animal’s own Self –
in order to prevent misunderstandings and incorrect assessment of cases, obstacles to the progress of
behavior modification, inadequate safety and management provisions, and even life-threatening
circumstances for both animals and people.

Phantom Pregnancy: the silent killer…

Phantom Pregnancy: the silent killer… Webinar

About the Webinar

There has been much research in the last few years highlighting the importance of the age at which we neuter dogs, but the timing of that in relation to the oestrus cycle of the bitch has received far less attention. Unfortunately, if spayed at the wrong point in their cycle bitches can enter a state of ‘persistent phantom pregnancy’ and, unlike a ‘normal’ phantom pregnancy, this one does not go away on its own and can lead to intractable and unpredictable anxiety or aggression. In this webinar, Sara will explain the current state of knowledge of how both ‘normal’ and ‘persistent’ phantom pregnancies arise, the behaviour changes they can cause, their diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. You’ll also find out why she considers phantom pregnancy ‘the silent killer…’
