Webinar - 11/18/21 - Positive Reinforcement Training without the Use of Food - Dog iBox (fee applies)
2021-11-18 10:00 - 11:30
Many different methods exist for training animals of all species: most rely on some variety of reinforcement or punishment. Food is generally considered to be a primary reinforcer, which means that it is something that the majority of animals find inherently rewarding, even without prior training or experience. With that said, there are several good reasons why using food in training may not always be a great idea. This presentation will cover these reasons, as well as extensive information about how to use positive reinforcement based training methods without the use of food.

Webinar - 11/18/21 - Lifesaving Dispatch - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
2021-11-18 12:00 - 13:15
Traditional dispatch programs focus on collecting information and sending out an officer. Today’s modern dispatch program focuses on lifesaving and proactive problem-solving and acts as the agency’s gatekeeper for officer call volume and shelter intake. This approach accesses the potential for increased lifesaving and community engagement that the traditional mindset leaves behind. The training will cover customer service, radio use, and priorities, information collection and problem-solving over the phone, as well as tips and tricks on handling some of the commonly received complaint calls. This training will challenge the traditional model of animal control dispatch and encourage a more proactive, engaged, and community-focused approach to the call-takers of the field service industry.
Speaker:
Anna Walton is the municipal and shelter support coordinator for Best Friends Animal Society, providing logistics support for strategic shelter partnerships and programs across the country. Through Best Friends’ digital learning efforts, Anna creates educational content for a full range of interactive online trainings and tools to support field services professionals.
Before stepping into her current role on the shelter support team, Anna worked as the community cat program coordinator for the Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Atlanta, Georgia. As part of that work, she mentored municipal shelters and rescue partners in the Southeast, worked with commissioners and government leadership to establish best practices for local animal control agencies, and led grassroots efforts to update county ordinances to ensure the continuation of trap-neuter-return programs for Cobb County’s community cats.
Prior to joining Best Friends, Anna served as an animal control officer and dispatcher for Fulton County Animal Services through LifeLine Animal Project in Atlanta. While she was an ACO, Anna managed Fulton County’s Doghouse Program, providing humane support for pets and proactive assistance to community members in underserved areas. Before diving into the animal protection and sheltering world, Anna worked as a wildlife care supervisor for Aware Wildlife Center, where she oversaw the rehabilitation of wild animals, trained and managed volunteers in animal care, and developed fundraising and community engagement programs.
While completing her bachelor’s degree in psychology at Emory University, Anna traveled to northern Tanzania through the School for International Training to study human-wildlife conflict, animal behavior and the wildlife conservation movement. She also managed to pick up a bit of Swahili.

2021-12-02 10:00 - 12:00
While playgroups are the foundation of our shelter training program, teaching shelter teams how to implement a generalized, effective, and enjoyable way to handle and train their dogs is another essential aspect of our canine programming! In this webinar, we will teach the fundamentals of our “Fancy Footwork” techniques that focus on achieving good leash manners through the use of your FEET instead of your hands.

Additionally, we will teach you how to implement our critically important kennel routines. The kennel areas of our nation’s shelters can be one of the most challenging and distressing environments that dogs–and their handlers–ever face. DPFL kennel routines have been developed and taught to shelters across the country in an effort to combat these challenges and to provide safer and more successful ways for dogs and people to maneuver through the kennels.

Webinar - 12/7/21 - Community Cats: How to Garner Support For and Run a Successful TNR Program - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
2021-12-07 12:00 - 13:15
This webinar will talk about the history of the Community Cat Program at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA) in Arlington, Virginia including where we were, where we are now, and how we got there.

Since The Community Cat Program’s inception in 2011, Arlington notes a 70% decrease in feral colony size and an 82% decrease in cat euthanasia, as fewer strays mean fewer cats are brought to the shelter. Our program has achieved what everyone ultimately wants to see- a humane solution to the issue of outdoor cats.

Webinar - 12/9/21 - Don't bite the hand that feeds you: Human-Directed Resource Guarding - Dog iBox (fee applies)
2021-12-09 10:00 - 11:30
Resource guarding (a.k.a. “possessive aggression”) can be easy to spot when a dog shifts gears from their role as a cuddly family member to one that is growling, posturing, or snapping when their access to a valued resource is perceived to be threatened. But why does this happen? This presentation will dive deep into which aspects of this human-directed aggression pattern may be considered “normal” and which may have underlying influences of medical diagnoses or emotional disorders, before taking an even closer look at management and behavior modification strategies that can be used for the prevention of this pattern as well as for intervention. Patterns of behavior that are specific to individual resources will be compared to dogs showing a more “generalized” pattern, and case examples will be provided to discuss when or if medication may be helpful as part of a comprehensive intervention plan.

Webinar - 12/9/21 - DPFL’s Approach to On-Leash Reactivity - Dogs Playing for Life
2021-12-09 10:00 - 12:00
Reactivity on the part of dogs living in shelters is a rampant issue that can contribute to behavioral deterioration, increased length of stay, and even loss of life. From a misdiagnosis of “aggression” to dogs whose reactive behavior escalates to problematic and potentially unsafe levels, learning how to help dogs suffering from reactivity issues is a crucial need shared by our entire industry.
While this webinar can be attended as a standalone course, we will build on our Fancy Footwork approach to handling and training to offer practical training, handling, and safety solutions to on-leash reactivity for dogs living in shelters.
This is a 1.5-hour presentation followed by a Q&A session. This webinar will NOT be recorded and is scheduled on EASTERN TIME.

2021-12-09 15:00 - 16:00
Complete the registration form below to receive access via email to this exclusive Best Friends National Conference session on Thursday, December 9th at 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
An optimal length of stay (LOS) for pets in shelters is one that’s short but as safe as possible, and it’s something every shelter should strive for. That means ensuring that lost pets return home quickly, while those who need medical care or training have a longer LOS. In this session, we discuss how to revamp your organization’s operations to safely reduce a pet’s stay, whether that pet is highly adoptable, has medical or behavioral challenges, or is returned to the field. We’ll also talk about the benefits of shortening the LOS, including reduced incidence of disease, decreased expenses for the shelter and increased well-being for pets.

Webinar - 12/14/21 - How to Rebuild Trust and Strengthen the Human-Animal Bond - Fear Free
2021-12-14 17:00 - 18:00
In this webinar presented by Natalie L. Marks, DVM, CVJ, veterinarians will learn more about the caregiver burden, how that transfers to veterinary teams and patients, and how stress reduction for the patient can improve and strengthen the human-animal bond as we care for chronically ill patients.
After the webinar, attendees will understand the concept of caregiver burden and the impact that has on our clients, our patients, and our own mental health. Specific examples will be given on ways to help pet parents and veterinary teams guide reduction of fear, anxiety, and stress at home to lessen the strain on the human-animal bond.
Brought to you by our friends at Vetoquinol, makers of Zylkene.

Nathan Hill, Vice President of Marketing at NextAfter
