SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/2/21 - Fancy Footwork: Practical Handling and Training Solutions for the Entire Shelter - Dogs Playing for Life
DESCRIPTION: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. Come learn this unique and highly effective approach that promotes dogs happily walking softly by your side\, offering tons of eye contact\, and wowing adopters! This new approach to leash work will enhance your handling skills and increase your ability to train ALL dogs\, even those that are highly aroused\, stressed\, fearful\, or not motivated by food\, all in an effort to improve quality of life and lifesaving for dogs living in shelters. \nAdditionally\, 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. \nThis is a 1.5-hour presentation followed by a Q&A session. This webinar will NOT be recorded and is scheduled on EASTERN TIME. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_v9zzfwDRSjmNRyUn0sayCg

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/7/21 - Community Cats: How to Garner Support For and Run a Successful TNR Program - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION: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. We will discuss how to garner successful support and buy-in for a jurisdiction-wide program\, how to resolve the most common community cat conflicts\, and what supportive needs arise during a TNR program. 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. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/community-cats-how-to-garner-support-for-and-run-a-successful-tnr-program/\n

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/9/21 - Don't bite the hand that feeds you: Human-Directed Resource Guarding - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.dog-ibox.com/market/catalog/live-webinars/live-webinars-english-c-34/human-directed-resource-guarding.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/9/21 - DPFL’s Approach to On-Leash Reactivity - Dogs Playing for Life
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWhile 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. \nThis is a 1.5-hour presentation followed by a Q&A session. This webinar will NOT be recorded and is scheduled on EASTERN TIME. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Hq5wRp8uTqyeN5djAXdCFw

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/9/21 - Register by 12/8/21 - Reducing Length of Stay at Your Shelter Conference Session - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAn 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. \nSpeaker: Kate Hurley\, DVM\, MPVM\, UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program Director Deadline to register for this opportunity is Wednesday\, December 8th. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-town-halls

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/15/21 - Feline Leukemia Testing: One and Done for Everyone - Million Cat Challenge and Maddie’s Fund
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, the AAFP released new retrovirus testing guidelines that recommend one quality point of care test then moving forward with a live-outcome pathway. In accordance\, Austin Pets Alive!\, home of the most robust FeLV adoption program in the world\, changed its FeLV testing protocols. No more serum testing. No more “confirmation” testing. What does this mean in practice\, how do we pathway plan for cats with different diagnoses\, and why is this the new recommendation? Join Monica Frenden-Tarant and Dr. Julie Levy as they break down the latest guidelines and tell you everything you need to know about testing for feline leukemia. \nThis webinar will be recorded and has been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association. \nThis program has been submitted (but is not yet approved) for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddiesfund-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_rDqqlMv6ScSoL6xYNitVDg

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/15/21 - Climbing Mt. Debt: Navigating Your Veterinary Student Loan Repayment Options - HSVMA
DESCRIPTION:HSVMA is partnering with VIN Foundation to bring you this special webinar! \nNon-profit veterinarians and support professionals — Do you know the best way to handle your student loans? \nConventional wisdom says you should pay your loans back as fast as possible. However\, federal income-driven repayment (IDR) options and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) are often a much better strategy for many veterinarians and support professionals. \nChoosing the right student loan repayment strategy for your situation can save you a ton of time\, money\, and stress — a concept VIN Foundation calls Repay Wiser. \nJoin Dr. Tony Bartels (a leading authority on U.S. veterinary student debt) for this special Climbing Mt. Debt session to see if you are doing all you can as a non-profit employee veterinarian or support professional to save money and reduce your student debt stress.  Special guest Heather Schrader\, RVT\, MCJ will also join to share how she received forgiveness under the Temporary Expanded PSLF program! Heather is the Program Manager of Student Outreach for HSVMA. \nIn this webinar Tony demystifies the most difficult aspects of loan repayment: \n1) What’s the “best” way to repay your student loans?\n2) How can you use your debt to income ratio to create a plan?\n3) What is PSLF and how do I make sure I’m on track for forgiveness\n4) How do I make sense of all the PSLF changes: TEPSLF\, waivers\, loan servicers quitting?\n5) How do you know when to adjust your repayment strategy? \nThis webinar has a suggested Student Debt & Income Signalment short “homework” assignment to compete prior to the session. The secure form should take only about 10 minutes to complete and will help with customizing the session content: https://surveys.vin.com/s3/HSVMA-MtDebt-Dec2021. \nCompleting the pre-session homework also helps with receiving personalized assistance after the session. \nThis webinar is approved for 1.5 hours of RACE CE credits for veterinarians and veterinary technicians (non-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. \nThis webinar is FREE for all attendees. This webinar is approved for 1.5 hours of RACE CE for veterinarians and veterinary technicians. RACE CE will be provided to current HSVMA members ONLY. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.hsvma.org/webinar_studentloans2

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/15/21 - Help! Fluffy is Urinating Outside of the Litter Box Again! - ACVB (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Some of the first clinical signs of discomfort in felines manifest behaviorally\, including hiding\, biting\, eliminating outside the box\, and grooming leading to hair-loss. While there are a plethora of behavioral differential diagnoses for the above clinical signs\, it is not uncommon for medical causes to be left undiagnosed. Behavioral treatment for these covert physical diseases often prove unsuccessful\, leaving pet parents dissatisfied and cats remaining uncomfortable. This lecture will delve into the most common chief complaints to general practitioners that present behaviorally but are not truly behavioral in origin. We will then discuss the appropriate diagnostic steps to take and at which point to refer to a veterinary behaviorist\, if at all. We will end with an applied discussion on a real-life pica case! \nAbout the Presenter\n \nDr. Vanessa Spano\, DVM is a resident with the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists under the mentorship of Dr. E’Lise Christensen\, DVM\, DACVB. Having finished the clinical portion of her residency\, she has seen 600+ primary behavioral cases to date in companion animal private practice. Dr. Spano graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada in 2017 and completed her Small Animal Internal Medicine & Surgical Rotating Internship at the ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in NYC. \nWhen she is not in the clinic\, Dr. Spano engages in research and lecturing. She is currently conducting research on low-stress handling in sheltered felines through a Fear Free(TM) grant. She has lectured for numerous veterinary hospitals and universities on behavioral psychopharmacology and the intersection of behavior and welfare and is a recurring lecturer for the New York State Veterinary Medical Society. Dr. Spano also provides behavioral consultation for a variety of shelters in the Tri-State Area\, including the ASPCA. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dacvb.org/page/webinarseries
