The most recent definition of Motivational Interviewing is

“a collaborative, person centered form of guiding to elicit and strengthen motivation for change”

As dog trainers, we need competence not only in the field of dog behavior change, but also human behavior change. Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based set of techniques to facilitate compliance and behavior change in clients. Designed for brief interventions and applied over a wide range of disciplines from health care to smoking cessation, Motivating Interviews can help trainers resolve more behavior cases and create more effective consultations with their clients.

Learning Objectives

Develop less client resistance.
Ensure more successful case resolutions.
Helps reduce trainer burnout.
Learn road-maps and scripts to help effectively coach difficult clients.

As dog trainers become more adept at finding studies, it's important that we move beyond reading the abstract. We need to learn how to read the nuts and bolts of a study. The overwhelming amount of jargon can make reading a study seem like it's written in a foreign language.

This webinar's purpose is to de-code the jargon. It's to help us understand what claims we can make, and which ones are premature. It's about having the confidence to know what a study actually might be saying. It's also about having the confidence in knowing that when someone says, "You can't apply that to the real world!", you'll know when that might be true, and when it might not be true.

Webinar Objectives

How to read a research study
Types of research studies
The purpose and function of different study formats
Overview of the sections of a research report
How important are the number or participants
Control Groups - testing if something is "better than what?"
Validity - Is something interfering?
Jargon - what is a "MANOVA" anyway?
Statistics. Doesn't "P" means it's a good study?
"But the lab doesn't apply to the real world."

Have you ever felt angry, irritable or sad because of the work that you do? Have you ever questioned whether it’s all worthwhile? Or do you feel completely satisfied by your work yet emotionally and physically exhausted by it at the same time? You might be experiencing the signs of compassion fatigue. (secondary trauma and burnout).

Animal care professionals may be particularly at risk because of their dual role of caring for both animals and their owners. Stressful interactions with the public, exposure to trauma and coping with the loss of animals through accidents, illness or euthanasia all contribute to compassion fatigue.

This seminar is intended to help individuals recognize the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue and identify evidence based strategies to prevent and manage the condition.

Objectives

Recognize the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue
Learn evidence based tools to manage and prevent compassion fatigue

Companion animals occupy an important role in our lives. They are our friends, our confidants and cherished members of the family. They provide unconditional love and support. They never judge and are always happy to see us when we come home. It's no surprise then that the death of a companion animal can be just as profound and devastating as the loss of a human significant other.

Animal care professionals and trainers are in the privileged position of working with these special animals and, while this can be an extremely rewarding role, it can also mean that professionals are also exposed to grief and loss when these animals die.

This seminar is designed to give trainers and animal care professionals information on current theories and findings relevant to animal bereavement. Attendees will also be offered practical tools for self-care and strategies to support clients, friends and family members who may be experiencing companion animal bereavement.

In this webinar attendees will:

1. Appreciate the significance of animal bereavement

2. Be able to describe common grief reactions

3. Recognize types of grief including disenfranchised, anticipatory and complicated grief

4. Learn strategies for self-care and ways of coping

5. Learn how to support others through grief
