SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/13/21 - Using Fear Free Principles to Improve Anesthetic Safety in Complicated Patients - Fear Free
DESCRIPTION:Decreasing fear\, anxiety\, stress (FAS)\, and pain leads to safer anesthesia by allowing a lower dose of sedative and anesthetic drugs needed for anesthesia premedication\, induction\, maintenance\, and recovery. Lower drug dosages are especially critical in complicated patients with underlying disease and physiologic compromise. In this discussion Dr. Tamara Grubb will explore the role of Fear Free principles in anesthetic safety\, especially in the compromised/complicated patient. \nAttendees will:\n1. Review the physiologic/pathologic impact of fear\, anxiety\, stress\, pain and anesthesia on the patient.\n2. Understand how these physiologic/pathologic impacts can magnify pathologic changes of select diseases\, increasing the likelihood of anesthetic adverse effects.\n3. Learn how to incorporate Fear Free principles into anesthetic protocols to improve anesthetic safety for complicated patients. \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Tamara Grubb is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia & Analgesia with a strong focus in pain management. She owns an anesthesia/analgesia/continuing education consulting practice that serves both small and large animals (VetAACE). Dr. Grubb is a national/international educator and lecturer\, a certified acupuncturist\, an Adjunct Professor of Anesthesia & Analgesia at Washington State\, a Fear Free Certified Practitioner\, and on the International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management’s (IVAPM) Board of Directors. She is co-author of two books\, including “Veterinary Anesthesia & Pain Management for Nurses & Technicians.” Dr. Grubb’s favorite achievement is winning the Distinguished Teaching Award at two universities. \nThis program has been submitted (but not yet approved) for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize AAVSB RACE approval. \nBrought to you by Zoetis Petcare. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WkGmleG3S_2DujNU_mFWcw

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/13/21 - Broken Connection: Why Your Dog Loses Focus with Nicole Wiebusch - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Does your dog disconnect from you during training? Would you like some ideas on how to fix and prevent disconnection? Having a training plan and systematically working your way through increasing criteria\, distractions\, and generalization can go a long way toward reducing disconnection. \nDuring this webinar we will define disconnection and discuss common reasons that dogs disconnect from their handlers. We’ll talk about how to figure out why dogs disconnect\, and we’ll cover ways to fix it and prevent further disconnection in the future. You will be shown video examples of several different scenarios in which the dog disconnected and we’ll talk through what likely happened. You will come away with a better understanding of why dogs disconnect and what you can do about it. \nNote: this webinar will not cover extremely fearful dogs. That in itself is a complicated subject and there are other classes at FDSA that are better equipped for helping your fearful dog. \nThis is a repeat webinar. Please check your webinar library before purchasing. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars
