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

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/17/21 - Make the Shift! Tips To Safely Move Animals to Various Locations with a Team Approach - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:It happens at the moment you need it most. The repair person arrives to fix a broken appliance\, and protocol states all pets must be secured. But you cannot find the family cats to ensure they’re safely crated. Or\, the doorbell rings and your dog is playing the ‘chase me game’ to avoid being gated to another part of the home. Perhaps habitat repairs need to be done\, yet the Red fox chooses to take a nap in the outside enclosure while sunbathing rather than move to a holding area. \nWhat if we can put the odds in our favor and work with animals in our care? Rather than watch the clock tick away along with our patience\, let’s start from a point of success. This new webinar with Laura Monaco Torelli will help you to build a productive plan that keeps caregivers’ and animals’ working together. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/market/catalog/live-webinars/live-webinars-english-c-34/make-the-shift.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/19/21 - Bringing Your New Dog Home – How to Promote a Successful Transition to Family Life! - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that it can take anywhere from a couple of days to several weeks for you and your new dog to adjust to each other? \nAlthough you have chosen this individual to join your family\, the dog does not know that what is happening is something good\, that he has a new family home.

Triggers might stack up\, making it difficult for the dog to cope. \nIn this presentation we are going to cover DogNostics’ recommendations for successfully introducing a new dog into your family\, helping ensure that the transition into your home is as stress-free as possible for both you and your new family member. \nAlthough the presentation is aimed at pet dog owners\, it will also help pet professionals provide guidance to their clients\, and shelters provide guidance to new adoptees. \nAbout Your Presenter\n\nLouise Stapleton-Frappell – B.A. Hons\, PCT- A\, PCBC-A\, CAP3\, CTDI\, DN-FSG2\, DN-CPCT2\, CWRI\nLouise Stapleton-Frappell\, Partner and Faculty Member of DogNostics Career Center and Board Member of The Pet Professional Guild\, is a Professional Canine Trainer and Behavior Consultant – Accredited by The Pet Professional Accreditation Board.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/27/21 - Pet Stores\, Puppy Mills and Local Action to End the Problem - Texas Unites (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Over 300 communities\, including several in Texas\, have banned the sale of puppy mill dogs in pet stores. These humane pet store ordinances are drying up the market for puppy mill dogs and helping to easing the suffering of breeding dogs who are routinely confined in tiny\, filthy cages until they can no longer produce another litter of puppies. Passing a local ordinance\, even if your community does not currently have a puppy selling pet store\, is a vital step in helping bring about an end to this cruel business model. \nYou will hear from two speakers who have decades of lobbying experience and have been at the forefront of this campaign. You’ll learn how to get an ordinance drafted\, introduced and enacted into law. You’ll learn what hurdles that puppy mill lobbyist will throw in your path\, and how to overcome them. This workshop is a must for those who are passionate about ending puppy mills. \nPresenters \nLauren Loney\, Texas State Director\, State Affairs\, The Humane Society of the United States\nAmy Jesse\, Public Policy Director\, Stop Puppy Mills Campaign\, The Humane Society of the United States \nConnect to this webinar on Your Conference Connection Page.  *Password required*\nPassword is provided with registration confirmation. \n***** \nLike this topic?  Register Today! \nYour $49 registration fee provides access to all webinars May 19 through July 1. \nAll sessions are CE approved through DSHS and AAWA with selected sessions approved through TBVME. \nRegistration will remain open throughout the Virtual Learning Series.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/27/21 - Overcoming Adoption Barriers: Where Marketing Meets Policy - American Pets Alive!
DESCRIPTION:The intersection of marketing and adoption policies is where the magic happens for reducing barriers to adoption. The role of marketing is to help define our programs for the community\, communicate how to use our services\, and advertise how people can get involved. But great marketing alone can’t increase adoptions if the experience of adopting isn’t supported by good customer service\, open adoption policies\, and solution-driven programs. This webinar looks at how our marketing efforts\, from our social media posts to our adoption bios\, can welcome more community members to our mission. We’ll also discuss how our adoption policies can support this mindset of welcoming our entire community while reducing barriers and saving more pets. \nJoin Clare Callison\, our Maddie’s® Director of National Pet Supply and Demand\, and Caitlin Quinn\, Director of Operations at HeARTs Speak\, for this insightful webinar on May 27 at 5pm CDT. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/3816189358603/WN_9qb1cBvMQgmJhJVLEqcxPw

When someone calls with a “my dog is aggressive/ has bitten etc” call and that isn’t your “lane” how do we ethically and effectively get those owners seeking help to proper professionals in a quick\, informative\, and safe way? \nLearn to address this without leaving an owner trying to handle the abyss of our unregulated industry only to end up with the wrong person and an all-around bad experience we hear and see all too often. \nLearning Objectives \n\nIdentify ways this person can manage their situation in the immediate.\nGet them to quickly understand why a vet visit for this is necessary.\nGet them to understand that they are being referred out.\nKnow how to find someone you can refer to and what evidence-based resources the owner has access to learn from in the meantime\n\nAbout Your Presenter \nTabitha Davies CPDT-KA\, ACDBC\, FF-C\, CTDI \nTabitha was born and raised in a small town in Ontario\, Canada and moved to Southern California in the 90’s. She always dreamed of being a veterinarian\, during high school she started an internship program that provided her the opportunity to work as a veterinary technician in a clinic located in Palm Desert. \nShortly after starting the internship\, she quickly realized how many dogs were being euthanized for behavior issues and how little access there was to trainers in the area. Tabitha discussed her concerns with the veterinarians and with their encouragment started to pursue her education in canine behavior. \nTabitha spent the next year raiding local libraries and reading every book on training\, behavior and the evolution of canids. She eventually graduated highschool and continued working as a veterinary technician while training her own dogs and horses. \nTabitha has been training professionally for over 17 years and handling behavior cases for the past 9 years. She is currently certified with CPDT-KA\, ACDBC\, FF-C\, CTDI\, and is working towards PCBC-A. She has a farm which includes goats\, horses\, chickens\, tortoises\, turtles\, pig\, cat\, and dogs and all of them are rescued or adopted. Tabitha also has three wonderful children and my best friend\, the man who keeps us all together. \n  \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4280745
