Workshop Objectives
Behavior modification is simple when you understand the basic concepts.
On
Saturday, Dr. Yin will cover the basic
principles that guide learning and behavior in all animals ranging from
cats and dogs to horses and giraffes. Through a series of videos, case
studies, demonstrations, and exercises, attendees will learn how to
apply their knowledge to every-day situations and to problem solve new
pet behavior problems that they come across. These talks will lay a
foundation for the small animal talks on Sunday. Dr. Ketz-Riley will
bring perspective to the operant conditioning of exotic and zoo animals.
Sunday will
feature behavior topics applicable to all species.
Dr. Yin’s lectures will focus on applying the basic learning concepts and problem solving techniques to specific common behavior problems in animals ranging from cats, to cattle, to giraffes and lemurs. Simple changes will be discussed that can encourage puppies and kittens to love their veterinary visits and participants will be introduced to the Treat and Train professional dog training system.
Dr. Wallentine will provide an in-depth look at canine fears and phobias and what perpetuates them.
Dr. Lay will provide insight into
livestock behavior and how it relates to their productivity. Discussion
will include the difficulties of assessing fear in a variety of
livestock; the profound effect that fear may have on production
livestock; how management procedures can be implemented to reduce the
negative effects of fear, thereby increasing productivity and animal
well-being; and how activation of the stress response affects a
multitude of physiologic systems that impair growth, immune function,
and reproduction.
