Webinar - 9/22/21 - How to Build a Year-End Social Media Plan that Gets Results - Network for Good
2021-09-22 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
The end of the year is swiftly approaching. You know what that means — giving season is almost here! So we ask the question, is your social media year-end ready?

Roughly seven-in-ten Americans use some kind of social media platform and about 30% of nonprofit website traffic comes from social media. And nearly one third (31%) of annual giving occurs in December. That’s why social media must be part of your year-end fundraising strategy.
With the focus often being on direct mail appeals at year-end, where does social media fit in? How can nonprofits cut through the year-end clutter, engage their donors, and raise more money – all without tech overwhelm or added stress?
In this webinar, digital fundraising expert Julia Campbell will show you her tried-and-true methods for creating a year-end social media plan that gets results and helps you achieve your year-end fundraising goals!

Webinar - 9/22/21 - Spay/Neuter: Integral to Access to Care - The AAWA
2021-09-22 12:00 - 13:00
When it comes to the relationship between wellness care and spay/neuter services, in most instances the answer is AND not OR. This webinar will describe how spay/neuter outreach led to a realization that many pets are going unserved by traditional veterinary models.
There are still pockets of urgent need where spay/neuter is critical for lifesaving. However even in areas where pet populations are more in balance, we continue to need spay/neuter to maintain that balance. We will describe the categories of animals best served by the high volume high quality spay/neuter model (HQHVSN).
Finally, we will discuss several models to demonstrate how spay/neuter clinics provide access to veterinary care. While spay/neuter clinics should focus on what they do best for maximum efficiency, as a wider community, we have an obligation to support cradle-to-grave-care for all pets. Spay/neuter clinics should work within a network of providers within each community to bridge gaps and overcome barriers to care. Strategies for tackling this work and presenting it to funders will be described.
Presenters:

Dr. Phil Bushby, Professor, Marcia Lane Endowed Chair of Humane Ethics and Animal Welfare, Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine
Emily McCobb, DVM, MS, DACVAA, Director, Tufts Shelter Medicine Program & the Luke and Lily Lerner Spay Neuter Clinic at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Tufts University

Webinar - 9/23/21 - Changing Behavior by Arranging Antecedents with Kathy Sdao - Dog iBox (fee applies)
2021-09-23 10:00 - 11:30
Professional animal trainers and behavior consultants sometimes overlook or undervalue Level 2 (Antecedent Arrangements) of the Humane Hierarchy. This six-level progression of behavior-change procedures, arranged so that the least intrusive, most positive interventions come first, was first elucidated by Dr. Susan Friedman in 2010. (See What’s Wrong With This Picture? Effectiveness is Not Enough) It informs the core ethical commitment of several professional animal-training organizations (e.g., IAABC, CCPDT). Yet we may be tempted to “skip ahead” to familiar operant training procedures such as positive reinforcement (Level 3) & differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors (Level 4). Antecedent arrangements (Level 2) suggest we notice and adjust the animal’s environment in ways that facilitate the behaviors we wish to reinforce. It invites us to be creative in changing conditions that precede these behaviors, with the goal of making learning more effective and efficient. Note that Level 2 is much broader than simply “managing the environment” to prevent problem behaviors from occurring. We’ll look at many specific examples of antecedent arrangements drawn from Kathy’s work with her behavior-consultation clients.

Webinar - 9/30/21 - Top 3 Solutions to End Doorbell Pandemonium - Nancy Tucker - FDSA (fee applies)
2021-09-30 15:00 - 16:00
The doorbell. Ugh. If anything can cause the most canine chaos with the least amount of effort, it’s the common doorbell or a knock at the door. That simple musical chime (or knock-knock) triggers barking, racing through the house, and crowding the entrance. Even when the sound just comes from the TV!
What follows is often the addition of human voices shouting over the noise in an unsuccessful attempt to quiet things down.
There’s a better way. No shouting, no diving for the mute button on the remote, no wading through barking, hopping dogs at the door.
In this webinar we’ll cover the top 3 approaches to curbing the chaotic response to doorbells or knocking, with the aim to restore peace and calm in your home, even when the UPS driver shows up.

Webinar - 10/6/21 - Who Controls the Training Session - You or the Animal? Presented by Dr. Karolina Westlund - PPG (fee applies)
2021-10-06 11:00 - 12:00
CEUs: PPAB 1, CCPDT (pending), IAABC (pending), KPA (pending)
Many animal trainers, veterinarians and pet owners highlight the importance of controlling animals. Controlling them, as in restricting the animals’ movement, their choices and their opportunities to control their environment through their behavior.
Sometimes you have to, for safety reasons. But often you don’t – and more often than you might think. Actually, the trend in modern animal training is to deliberately and strategically shift control from the handler to the animal, while still staying safe. Giving control to animals enables us to better understand their quirks and preferences, not to mention reducing fear and improving welfare. In this session, the presenter will walk through a formal training session and discuss all the possible ways of handing control to the animal during training. For instance:

Does the animal have control when, where and with whom a training session starts?
When ending it?
When individual trials within a session start (so called start buttons).
Which behavior to work on?
Can he say, “No, actually, I changed my mind?”
Can he choose his reinforcer?

These questions and more will be discussed. Some might say it’s preposterous to allow the animal to dictate the training session. But that’s not what the presenter is saying you should do. After all, you have options, too, and one of them is to choose when to hand over control to the animal – and when not to.

Webinar - 10/13/21 - All About Behavior: How to Approach Behavior Cases in General Practice - HSVMA
2021-10-13 17:00 - 18:00
As clinicians, we often see behavior issues in our patients. Sometimes clients come to us for advice, sometimes the client is not as aware of the issue as they should be. During this behavior webinar we will explore the process of diagnosing common behavior problems in dogs and cats and outline the steps needed when creating and implementing a behavior plan. We will discuss the difference between a primary behavioral problem and a training issue and which cases we should handle and which we should refer to a behaviorist.
Other topics Dr. Calder will discuss during this presentation include:

The various behavioral tools available to facilitate management
How to identify appropriate trainers and other certified professionals to aid in the treatment of behavior problems
Behavioral euthanasia and how to develop a prognosis

We hope you’ll join us for this important welfare-focused webinar.
This webinar is approved for 1.5 hours of RACE CE credits for veterinarians and veterinary technicians (medical/interactive category). CE credits will be provided FREE to current HSVMA members ONLY. If you are not yet an HSVMA member or need to renew your membership, please visit the HSVMA website HERE.

Webinar - 10/14/21 - Medical Vs. Behavioral: How Do We Tell The Difference? - Jennifer Summerfield, DVM - FDSA (fee applies)
2021-10-14 15:00 - 16:00
We all know that medical issues can influence behavior. Dogs who don’t feel well can be cranky, or more anxious than normal – just like humans! But what about less obvious “red flags” for a physical problem that you might not be aware of?
In this webinar, we’ll talk about the following:

What a routine veterinary visit can tell us… and what it can’t!
How pain, GI discomfort, and hormonal issues can impact aggression and anxiety
Determining if abnormal repetitive behaviors are compulsive or neurologic
Behavioral side effects of common medications

I’ll also give some practical suggestions for talking to your veterinarian about these issues, as well as possible diagnostic and treatment options to consider if you think something might be wrong.
Fee: $19.95 – Registration required PRIOR to scheduled presentation time.
Please note: This webinar is back by popular demand; please check your webinar library before purchasing.
