**This course will provide the participant with 2 Ethics Learning Type BACB® CEUs**
Description of Learning Type CE Event: Join us for an exciting webinar as Dr. Moore, a seasoned human behavior analyst and certified dog trainer, and her co-instructor Frida Pawlo (yes, that’s her dog) demonstrate how working with animals not only enhances your proficiency as a behavior analyst but also enriches your skills as a human teacher. Discover the parallels between teaching humans and teaching pets as we explore practical strategies and skills applicable to both realms. This session will highlight how working with your own pets can deepen your understanding of behavior analysis and lead you toward more compassionate and ethical practices in teaching humans. Don't miss this unique opportunity to broaden your perspective, gain practical insights, improve ethical decision-making, and uncover the surprising connections between the world of ABA and our beloved four-legged friends. Dr. Moore's personal journey to becoming a dog trainer promises to provide a fresh lens through which to view behavior analysis, offering attendees a chance to integrate innovative approaches into their professional practice.
