In response to this issue, the Minnesota Association for Volunteer Administration (MAVA) recently embarked on a research study which resulted in a set of eight strategies for creating a more inclusive volunteer program within nonprofit and government organizations. These strategies serve as a starting point for leaders who are seeking concrete next steps for better engaging volunteers from communities of color.

FDSA Presents: Calling all foodies! Well, I mean foodie dogs, of course! A lot of times, trainers will use toys for easily rewarding at a distance or for increasing arousal, especially in agility. But, what if your dog doesn’t like toys? What if toys create so much conflict for your learner that it’s counterproductive to your training? In this webinar, Megan will go over how she uses food in all the same ways she could use a toy. If you’re feeling like all you ever do is hand your dog a cookie, and would like to add more variety, then this webinar is for you!

Suzanne Clothier Presents: However we may define it, here’s the reality: We can get frustrated and confused when a dog doesn’t (can’t?) focus, or won’t give us his attention no matter how much we know or how good our timing may be. We’re smart trainers, so we know it’s not dominance or being stubborn or blowing us off but sometimes, we’re left scratching our own heads and asking, “What’s really going on in that dog’s head?”

NACA and the Justice Clearinghouse Present: In any open admission facility, one of the largest challenges faced is intake. The unpredictability of what may be coming into your facility and how it will enter leaves many of us walking in first thing in the morning with no idea how to plan our day. Animal welfare, just like any other business, needs to be able to have some method of planning for what is coming so that we can ensure we have what we need to handle the situation. We all know emergencies arise and we are all masters at flying by the seat of our pants, but are we doing that more than we need to?
