Jerri Scherff - Clicks & Tricks: Unlocking Your Social Media Potential

Date: Thursday, January 30th, 2025
Time: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time). 
Fee: $19.95 USD

Are you ready to finally improve your social media presence and understand the complicated world of some of these platforms?? Join us for a one-hour webinar that promises to be as entertaining as it is informative, complete with a 30-minute Q&A where you can ask all your burning questions—like why your cat gets more likes than you do!

What You’ll Learn:

Algorithms Demystified: Ever wondered what an algorithm is? Is it a fancy word for a secret society? Spoiler: it’s not! I’ll break it down, discuss how many versions exist (hint: more than your relatives' opinions), and how they vary by platform.

The Essentials: Think of your bio as the Tinder profile for your brand. We’ll cover how to make it irresistible, how to use links effectively, and why analytics are your new best friend (sorry, not sorry, to your actual friends).

Growth Strategies that Spark Joy: Discover the delicate balance between engagement and growth. We’ll help you figure out how to keep your audience entertained without resorting to cat memes (unless that’s your thing).

Content Creation Magic: What’s new in the world of posts? How do carousels work without making you dizzy? We’ll also dive into short-form videos and what makes content pop—without the cringe-factor.

Comment Section Shenanigans: Learn how to engage with your community like a pro, how to handle negative comments (block, delete, and pretend they never existed), and why direct messaging is like sliding into DMs without the awkwardness.

Avoiding Cult-like Behavior: We’ll show you how to build a community without turning into that group of people who only talk about their kombucha recipes using some sort of secret language.

Key Takeaways:

• Focus on one platform as your social media engine—don’t try to be a multi-platform octopus before you’re ready! You might lose an arm!
• Consistency is key—keep it real and keep it you.
• Find a buddy to give you feedback—preferably one who doesn’t watch your stories on mute!

Don’t miss out on this chance to gain practical tips and have some fun along the way. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to spice up your existing strategy, this webinar is for you!

Denise Fenzi - Touchy Heely: Contact Heeling for Ringsport, Behavior work and life!

Date: Thursday, January 30th, 2025
Time: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time). 
Fee: $19.95 USD

"Contact heeling" means teaching your dog to maintain physical contact with your body while also allowing them the freedom to look around. You might be moving, standing still, sitting in a chair, or completing a task, and your dog will press against you to maintain contact! While originally trained for the Sports of French and Mondio Ring, this skill is useful in crowded environments, during training classes, or between working exercises...anywhere dogs frequently lose contact with their handler. In behavior work, contact heeling can allow both you and your dog to observe the environment while simultaneously retaining physical awareness of each other. So many uses!

Unlike precision heeling, there is no expectation of eye contact or a precise position at the handler's side. Indeed, the dog can be taught to rotate all the way around the handler - the only criteria is continuous physical contact. As a result, contact heeling can be relaxing and enjoyable for both parties.

Sound useful? It is! Join Denise Fenzi and learn how she teaches contact heeling, along with a discussion of the varied ways she uses this skill in both training and in daily life.

Note: This webinar is back by popular demand. Please check your webinar library to avoid a duplicate purchase.

Dante Camacho - Holistic Approach to Reactivity - How What We Do Away from Triggers Matter

Date: Thursday, February 6th, 2025
Time: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time). 
Fee: $19.95 USD

Reactive behavior in dogs is one of the trendier topics in dog training, not surprisingly considering the incidence of the issue.

There are different reasons a dog may behave in ways we understand as being extreme or exaggerated, most of us agree that these dogs are not really having fun in these situations.

Plenty of effort is placed on creating behavior modification programs that aim to desensitize dogs to the triggers that lead to reactive behavior.

Are these programs being successful or have you notice that most people spend months or even years with little or inconsistent results at best?

This webinar will help you find that missing piece that might be stalling your progress through a holistic approach to reactivity. We will work on the things that you didn't know are likely influencing your dog's behavior.

Most of these things are at first glance not related to reactive behavior because they can be worked away from triggers, I will share with you my tried and tested protocol aimed to not only build skills but also develop resilience and fulfill basic needs to maintain our dogs open to challenges and learning.

Stacy Barnett - The Key to Nosework Success: Developing an Effective Start Line

Date: Thursday, February 6th, 2025
Time: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time). 
Fee: $19.95 USD

The funny thing is that the least impactful part of a search is finding the hide! In fact, you can usually tell by how a team approaches the start line whether they will be successful or not.

What’s the difference? ROUTINE and AROUSAL MANAGEMENT.

Does your dog do one of these things? …. sniffs the ground before searching, passes by the hide without alerting, cruises laps around the search area before settling in…. All of these challenges can be positively affected by simply developing the RIGHT Start Line for your dog. Of course it has to the RIGHT one!

This webinar is targeted at helping you determine the perfect routine for YOU and YOUR DOG. Get the RIGHT Routine and get the most out of your search!
