SUMMARY:L.E.G.S Presentation by Natalie Widomski
DESCRIPTION:L.E.G.S stands for Learning\, Environment\, Genetics\, and Self.  The LEGS platform was developed from an ethological perspective and was established to help people understand and utilize the different aspects of a dog that influence their behavior.  This presentation will go over each component of L.E.G.S\, how it can influence behavior\, and discuss how to work with your dog to satisfy their needs and facilitate learning in a cooperative way. \n“Natalie Widomski\, Owner and Trainer of Pawsitive K9 Trainers LLC is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer through the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Training and Behavior\, a Licensed Family Dog Mediator and a Certified Service Dog Coach since 2018. My focus is working with puppies and adolescent pups teaching them basic manners\, and life skills. For the owners my focus is teaching them about animal welfare and understanding their dogs through using ethological lens; providing them with an education to give their dogs agency\, choice and to navigate the challenges of normal canine behavior so they can raise a healthy\, happy and fulfilled dog.” \n  \nNatalie Widomski\, VSA-CPDT\, LFDM-T\, SDC \nCertified Professional Dog Trainer \nLicensed Family Dog Mediator \nCertified Service Dog Coach \nRegistered AKC CGC Evaluator \n623-337-6977 \nwww.pawsitivek9trainers.com \nwww.facebook.com/allcanines/ \nInstagram: @pawsitivek9trainers \nTikTok:@caninecommunicator

SUMMARY:Lisa Gunter and The Future of Foster Programs
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to be able to bring this presentation to PAWS as our next installment of this years summer school 📚 \nImplications & future directions of foster care programs in animal shelters \nFoster care\, a unique form of human–animal interaction\, is an effective tool for improving welfare by allowing animals to escape the stressors of the shelter and experience more opportunities for social interaction in a home. In this talk\, Lisa will discuss a recent review and new research with her graduate student\, Grace Phillips\, in which we examined foster care programs and their effects on human and animal welfare\, evaluate the successes and challenges of supporting shelter foster care programs\, and recommend best practices for lasting programmatic success. I’ll conclude the talk with preliminary findings from our recent research exploring hybrid fostering. \nSign up for this session here: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/10C0E4BA8A82CA0F9CE9-57072492-paws
