Wolfdogs are becoming increasingly popular but they aren’t well known and the information about them is often out of date or plain uneducated. The World of Lupines Foundation is working to not only increase education around wolfdogs of all breeds and types but to also be the ethical guideline for raising wolfdogs and breeding the Lupine breed specifically using scientifically backed methods.
I will talk about my experiences breeding and raising Lupine dogs, the differences noticed between them and your more common dog breeds and the steps taken to ensure they get the best possible start.

Presented By Lori DeLeo

You can’t give what you don’t have

For those of us in the role of helping professionals, compassion fatigue is real, and it is the direct result of repeated exposure to highly emotional and traumatic situations. Consequently, when dealing with people and/or their pets and having to make difficult decisions that affect both on a regular basis, all too often we forget that we need to take care of ourselves.

What is the difference between compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma? How do these manifest themselves  and impact our ability to show up as our best selves in our personal and professional lives? How can we address these issues in practical and impactful ways? This webinar will help you  identify the signs of what some refer to as “burn out” and  will assist  in providing you with quality emotional self-care.

Lori J. DeLeo, MAT, LMFT, is a licensed therapist who specializes in grief and trauma. She has worked extensively with first responders and helping professionals. Ms. DeLeo holds Masters degrees in Multicultural Education/Teaching and Marriage and Family Therapy. Additionally, she is certified in both Gestalt therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Puppy education: from principles to practice

Gwen Bailey, Puppy School

Foundations set during the first year of a dog’s life are critical, and deserve a focus that is both practical and scientific.  Gwen Bailey will look at some of the essential tasks for raising a well-behaved dog and see where science can help us be better owners and counsellors.

Gwen Bailey pioneered the use of animal behaviour knowledge in the rehoming of unwanted pets while working for a large animal welfare charity where she was Head of Animal Behaviour for 12 years. In June 2002, Gwen set up Puppy School (www.puppyschool.co.uk), a UK network of puppy class tutors trained in animal behaviour and offering socialisation and reward-based training classes run to a very high standard.   Puppy School has helped introduce positive training into the lives of 80,000 puppies since it started with over 150 Schools around the UK and Ireland.  Gwen has written 14 books, one of which, ‘The Perfect Puppy –  how to raise a dog you can live with’ has sold millions around the world and has been in print for over 25 years.  She is currently a member of the APBC Interim Committee and was past Chairman of the APBC and past Trustee for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.  She is President of the charity Dogs Helping Kids.

A dog’s rescue journey- the science of shelter behaviour

Tom Candy BSc (Hons), MSc, CDBC

All rescue dogs will have a journey through the organisations rehoming process. These journeys can be made up of multiple steps, Tom will discuss what science can teach us about improving a dogs journey and how we can apply this to the real world of rescue.

Tom Candy is a Senior Training and Behaviour Advisor for Dogs Trust in the United Kingdom. Tom is responsible for overseeing the training and behaviour at multiple rehoming centres across the UK. His duties include assessment, management and behaviour modification. A passion for animal welfare and training led Tom to undertake a BSc (Hons) in bio-veterinary science, and an MSc in clinical animal behaviour from the University of Lincoln, UK. Having started volunteering in rescue at the age of 15, Tom has been involved in a variety of aspects of rescue, including fundraising, home checks, transporting, and general day-to-day activities. Since graduating from University, Tom has been working as a training and behaviour advisor at a DogsTrust, locuming across 7 centres before moving to the senior training and behaviour team.

Tom is an accredited animal behaviourist with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council, and a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant and Chair of the Dog Division with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants.

I love him like my child, he’s my lad’ – human attachment, parenting and empathy, what do they mean for practice?

Dr Anne McBride, ABTC CAB, University of Southampton

Drawing from relevant research, this talk will provide a brief introduction to attachment, empathy, narcissism and parenting styles and how these may influence owner behaviour and in turn how practitioners can support owners towards a successful outcome.

Anne is an Animal Behaviour and Training Council recognised Clinical Animal Behaviourist. She has been practising since 1987. She was director of the first UK University based course in the field which ran at Southampton University from 1994 – 2015. Her main goal in life is to engender in others the ability to be creative, yet critical thinkers. She feels this is essential if knowledge of human and animal behaviour is to be applied to the welfare improvement of all. Her second goal is to grow old whilst never truly growing up, and continue learning and laughing all the way!

Building foundations of trust, safety and confidence: A case study of Drax’s galactic adventure

Natalie Light BSc PGDip PGCert CCAB

The theoretical principles of the ethological needs of dogs will be discussed, with a particular focus on physiology & safety as the primary considerations when working with rescue dogs, particularly those that have experienced neglect or trauma. Using the case study of an ex-puppy farm Irish Wolfhound (Drax), the practical applications of desensitisation and counter conditioning protocols will be explored. What works, what doesn’t, and the key priorities to consider when settling dogs into their new homes will be presented using a series of videos that document the first 6 months of Drax’s time in his new home.

Nat is an Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) accredited Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist, an Animal Behaviour & Training Council (ABTC) Registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist and Animal Training Instructor and a full member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors. She has been working professionally in the companion animal sector since 2006 and graduated from Southampton University with a Zoology BSc (2:1) and Newcastle University with Applied Animal Behaviour & Welfare PGDip (Distinction). As well as running her busy behaviour business for private clients, is a lecturer on the Animal Welfare & Society BA at University of Winchester and is currently writing her thesis for her PhD entitled “Servant to sentience: A historical exploration of the changes in popularity and implementation of pet dog training in Britain from 1970 to 2010 as documented in the UK Kennel Club archive”. Nat’s aim as a behaviourist and trainer is to provide her clients with the understanding, knowledge and practical skills to confidently identify, manage and encourage desired behaviours in order to have a safe and happy life with their dog. She believes that by focussing on the dog/human relationship and encouraging effective and appropriate communication, we can live with our dogs more successfully. 

Beyond the Five Freedoms

Suzanne Rogers, BSc (Hons), CHBC

The most often cited framework for animal welfare is the ‘Five Freedoms’, created in the 1960s. However, since then welfare scientists have expanded the way we think about welfare now considering not only whether the animal is free from harm and suffering but if they have a life worth living with positive emotional experiences. In this talk Suzanne brings us up to date with ways of exploring welfare and links it to our work as behaviour counsellors.

After a varied career in science publishing, Suzanne re-qualified in behaviour and welfare, joined the trustee board of several animal charities and worked for the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA; now World Animal Protection). Since 2011, Suzanne has worked as an international consultant for animal welfare and human behaviour change, working with many key organisations. In 2016 she co-founded Human Behaviour Change for Animals CIC and is now an animal welfare consultant specialising in applying the science of human behaviour change to the animal welfare sector. She is also active as an IAABC-certified equine behaviour consultant.

Scentwork has taken off across the world as a fun activity to share with your dog, and there are a whole range of methods and approaches. While some methods concentrate on competition, there’s increasing interest in the use of scentwork and nose games within behaviour modification programmes.

Using a mixture of case studies and video we will explore how scentwork can play a key role in behaviour modification for a range of complex presenting problems in dogs including abnormal and repetitive behaviours and fear.

I build better relationships between troubled dogs and their humans, and I’ve been working as a canine behaviourist for over 12 years now. Playing scentwork games with my own dogs, as well as with my clients, was life changing. I was fortunate to be an Accredited TD Scentwork Trainer (2014-2017) and have introduced hundreds of dogs to the joy of sniffing.
Scentwork is one of my favourite tools when it comes to creating an effective training plan or behaviour modification programme, and I can’t wait to share the magic with you!

Presented By Jean Donaldson

Is there such a thing as over-socialization? What is “arousal” and is it a useful term? Should we strive to reduce or eliminate errors when dogs are learning? How should we curate and monitor play opportunities for puppies, and for dogs?

In most jurisdictions, dog training and behavior counseling are unregulated, and where they are regulated, there is usually not a mandate for evidence-based practice. This has resulted in fertile ground for fads to take hold. This webinar will look at how research on cognitive biases makes dog behavior practitioners susceptible to untested or demonstrably untrue ideas and practices.
