SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/1/21 - When The Evidence Needs A Home: Best Practices for Pre-Conviction Forfeiture Statute Use - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Animals seized in the course of cruelty cases have unique needs\, which can pose challenges involving evidence preservation\, unanticipated drains on law enforcement resources\, and harm to the animals themselves. Join Animal Legal Defense Fund Senior Staff Attorney David B. Rosengard to discuss how various versions of state pre-conviction forfeiture statutes offer ways to overcome these hurdles\, providing better outcomes for all involved. \nWebinars in this Series with the ALDF include: \n\nThe Status of Animals in Criminal Animal Cruelty Cases\nOct 29: Understanding Wildlife Animal Cruelty \nJan 21\, 2021:  Preserving the Bond: the Veterinarian’s Role in Pre-Empting Animal Cruelty\nApril 1: When the Evidence Needs a Home: Pre-Conviction Forfeiture (this webinar)\nJuly 15: Prosecuting Farmed Animal Cruelty \n\nOr click here to view and register for other upcoming NACA  webinars on the JCH Platform. \n\n\nThe National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership. \n  \nFounded in 1979\, the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s mission is to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals through the legal system. The Animal Legal Defense Fund accomplishes this mission by filing high-impact lawsuits to protect animals from harm\, providing free legal assistance and training to prosecutors to assure that animal abusers are held accountable for their crimes\, supporting tough animal protection legislation and fighting legislation harmful to animals\, and providing resources and opportunities to law students and professionals to advance the emerging field of animal law. \n  \n  \n\n  \nPresenters \nAs a senior staff attorney in the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s Criminal Justice Program\, David Rosengard works with stakeholders across the criminal justice system to pursue justice on behalf of animal cruelty victims. One of his focus areas is amicus briefs\, where he raises appellate-level arguments aimed at enabling courts to reach decisions that not only address the needs of the animals involved in individual cases\, but to also better position animals as a whole within the law. David additionally helms the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s groundbreaking work helping animals who have been harmed by criminal cruelty achieve the legal status of crime victims\, including efforts to expand Courtroom Animal Advocate Programs which allow pro bono attorneys and law students to act as counsel for those animal crime victims in court. \n\n\nDavid co-edited and contributed to the second edition of Animal Law in a Nutshell and has published law review articles aimed at assisting prisoners in securing vegan meals (“Three Hots and a Cot and a Lot of Talk”: Discussing Federal Rights-Based Avenues for Prisoner Access to Vegan Meals) as well as illuminating the critical impact legal recognition of animal sentience has on constitutional considerations (A Dog is Not a Stereo: The Role of Animal Sentience in Determining the Scope of Owner Privacy Interests Under Oregon Law). David also teaches animal law at his alma mater—Lewis & Clark Law School\, where he graduated twice with honors\, as both a J.D. and an Animal Law LL.M. student. While a student at Lewis & Clark Law School\, David clerked for the Center for Animal Law Studies\, Co-Directed L&C’s Student ALDF chapter\, worked in Kenya on wildlife and animal cruelty issues\, was an Animal Law Review Editor-in-Chief\, and represented the state of Oregon in criminal court on behalf of the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office as a certified law student. \nPrior to embarking on his legal career\, David earned a B.A. with honors in History and Gender Studies from Claremont McKenna College\, and worked in higher education\, where he focused on sexual assault prevention and response\, peer counseling\, crisis management\, co-curricular education\, sex-blind housing programs\, and community justice. \nDavid lives in Saint Helens\, Oregon with his spouse and a bevy of rescue animals: two cats (Aldor and Papaya) and three dogs (Ace Octavus\, Ellie May\, and Puck). \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/when-the-evidence-needs-a-home-best-practices-for-pre-conviction-forfeiture-statute-use/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/15/21 - Permission\, Not Permissive - Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how to be positive in your training and relationship with dogs\, and yet not end up just being run over or dragged here & there? \nIt can be really challenging to find the balance between positive and pushover. It all comes down to understanding the different between permission and being permissive. \nThis webinar tackles the confusion\, and gives you some practical solutions that are simple and effective. Dogs appreciate the clarification! And you’ll learn how to be fair and consistent without having to harden your heart\, deprive or ignore your dog. \nWe’ll cover: \n\nExplicit\, implicit or complicit?\nWhat does your dog believe?\nSetting boundaries & non-negotiables\nCompromise & criteria\nNow/not now exercises\n\nIt can be so disheartening to hear a trainer tell you\, “Oh you’re just too soft on that dog” or “Just make him do it” or “Never say NO!” Confusing\, isn’t it? It doesn’t have to be. Empathy\, compassion\, clarity and compromise should not be dirty words in dog training. \nThis webinar is going to give you the tools to find the right balance for you and your dog while strengthening the relationship.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/19/21 - Identifying Need for Spay/Neuter Services in Massachusetts: A GIS-based Analysis - Massachusetts Animal Coalition
DESCRIPTION:About the meeting:  Please join us for a presentation about a method for assessing need for spay and neuter resources using GIS (Geographic Information Systems). \nIntroduction:  A needs assessment for spay and neuter resources in Massachusetts. \nCameron Carow will present the results of a GIS-based analysis of need for spay and neuter resources in the state of Massachusetts. This project demonstrates how GIS can be utilized to combine spatial\, socioeconomic and demographic data to identify regions with significant need for spay and neuter resources. This analysis was designed to support MAC as it reassesses the “I am Animal Friendly” License Plate Grant program.  This will help MAC members and friends understand how these findings reflect what is happening in your part of Massachusetts and it will provide us with the information that we all need in order to refine our own spay and neuter efforts. \nWEBSITE LINK:  http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=dmv5lydab&oeidk=a07ehpwnkvie7c45a14

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/22/21 - To Pee or Not to Pee: That is the Feline House Soiling Problem - ACVB
DESCRIPTION:Urine here\, urine there\, urine everywhere! Living in a home where your beloved cat eliminates outside of the litter box can be a very disheartening and frustrating experience. Unfortunately\, feline house soiling problems are the most common behavioral complaint in cats. Join us in this webinar where we will walk through the decision tree to diagnosing behavioral causes for feline house soiling\, differentiating between marking behavior and unwanted toileting behavior (previously referred to as “inappropriate elimination”)\, and discuss prevention and treatment recommendations. \nAbout the Presenter \n \nKat Pankratz\, DVM\, DACVB\, graduated with her veterinary degree from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 2014 and pursued a small animal rotating internship in New York. She completed her behavioral medicine residency program at North Carolina State University and became board certified by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists in 2018. She stayed on at NC State for her fellowship and as a clinical instructor before joining the Animal Behavior Clinic in Portland\, OR in 2019. When striving to understand inter-cat conflict and feline house soiling within her home\, Dr. Pankratz became passionate about veterinary behavior. She aspires to help others rebuild the human animal bond. She is most interested in educating others to better understand and communicate with their beloved pet. She is an adjunct professor at NC State CVM and teaches veterinary behavior to the public\, veterinary students and fellow veterinarians. For her research on the use of behavioral medication to improve the welfare of cats\, she was awarded the RK Anderson ACVB Resident Award and JFMS Resident Best Paper Award. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dacvb.org/page/webinarseries

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/22/21 - Don't dread the Strategic Plan! - Getting 2 Zero
DESCRIPTION:Does talk of strategic planning make your team’s eyes role with “here we go again”? Have you got a strategic plan that was fun to create but sits on the shelf un-read once the real world takes over again? Or do you create great strategies with fabulous intentions but a couple of months later you just can’t work out why it’s not working out\, until eventually everyone slips back into the old habits? \nTrust us\, you’re not alone. Statistically\, 60-70% of change initiatives\, especially strategic plans\, fail. Why? Because we believe that the work is in the creation of a plan\, rather than delivery of it. Because the nature of shelters and the nature of people is that when the going gets tough\, we revert to what we’re comfortable with. \nThis session is an introduction to how to ensure your strategic plan is aspirational enough AND deliverable. On how to create a vision that inspires\, how to ensure your organisation is moving forward\, how to engage your people in the plan. And the step we usually miss: how to implement it in a way that ensures it’s not just a document that sits on a shelf until the next planning session in three years. \nIf any of this resonates with your organisation\, this session is absolutely for you – and for you to invite your Board/CEO/senior managers to attend with you! \nSession presenter: Dr Jess Moore-Jones \nJess has been Executive Manager\, CEO and Senior Advisor to shelters large and small\, local and international\, government and charitable. Having worked with more than a dozen shelters to assist with culture\, structure\, strategy and operational delivery (as well as some niche passions such as human behaviour for animal welfare and professional resilience)\, Jess has seen so many ways of doing things that she is able to pull all the best ideas together\, and work out how they can be applied to each organisation’s unique challenges and opportunities. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JUSsBZGRSlmtzT32NBxi3Q

DESCRIPTION:This webinar is the second in the Your End of the Leash series\, which focuses on helping handlers become the best possible partners for their dogs.  \nNo matter how smart your dog may be\, no matter how much he knows or can do\, he still depends on you as his partner.  \nWould you want a partner who was tense with gritted teeth and tight breathing?

We’ll cover:  \n\nBreathe! Why in and out is the best choice \nBreathing as communication – what you tell your dog (maybe without meaning to) \nEffects of breathing on learning & performance \nObserving breathing patterns in yourself and others \nCoaching others \n\nYou’ll learn practical techniques to help yourself (and your students) create greater awareness about breathing\, along with ways to practice here\, there and everywhere.  \nBonus: what you learn in your quest to become your dog’s best partner turns out to be helpful in the rest of your life! Breathing awareness can help you relax\, reduce tension and stress\, and understand how your breathing can affect others.  \nJOIN US!  \nALL WEBINARS ARE RECORDED.
