Fear Free and Virox Present: COVID has forced change in veterinary practice more dramatically and faster than anything in our memories or experience. Telemedicine seemed so far off and now most of us are using it in some capacity. Some of us dreamed of just seeing pets without their people, and those dreams have come true! All joking aside, we can now see how pets respond when mom and dad aren’t in the building with them. We’re discovering new efficiencies we never thought possible. In this webinar you’ll learn how to be forward thinking, creative, adaptive, compassionate, efficient, and healthy (physically and emotionally) while delivering the kind of veterinary care that will have pet parents coming in more often and referring others to taste for themselves. Welcome to “business as unusual” or “returning to business as abnormal” as we embrace the change thrust upon us and harness it for growth.

This approach can be very effective and efficient, but also raises some practical questions. Come learn more about the telehealth landscape and how best to implement this tool in your shelter or clinic.

Karen Pryor Academy Presents: Ken will share the case study of a project he conducted from 2013 through 2015 in Chicago. He will explore the challenges and protocols he followed in working with four dogs rescued from Chicago area shelters. Three of the dogs were severely reactive, one was a trained fighting dog, and all had a bite history. The protocol followed was an introduction protocol, not an aggression treatment protocol. Although the project resulted in a significant reduction in aggression, the protocol was designed to teach animals how to live together and how to cohabitate. Ken will share the details of the protocol and share the steps he used to teach the dogs to work cooperatively and live together.
NACA and the Justice Clearinghouse Present: “If somebody is harming an animal, there’s a good chance they also are hurting a human,” notes John Thompson of the National Sheriffs’ Association. With four types of cruelty to animals now included in the FBI’s NIBRS process, animal abuse is recognized as a serious crime in its own right and a predictor of family, youth, community, and organized violence. This seminar will discuss how specialized animal crimes units, law enforcement and prosecutors’ offices and veterinary forensics teams are responding to animal abuse to also prevent domestic, elder, and child abuse.
ASPCAPro Presents: Nosework is an amazing sport/activity for shelter dogs – pet owners are becoming involved in this training in record numbers.

At the same time, pet owners have discovered the sport of canine nose work and are enjoying the benefits of this engaging and stimulating activity. There is much we do not know about the canine olfaction system and what factors may influence a dog’s ability to perform scent work appropriately.
