SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/11/24 - Sheltering Beyond Shelters: Housing Justice Advocacy and its Role in Animal Welfare - HASS
DESCRIPTION:Housing is a necessity that impacts all families in the United States\, and believe it or not – it also profoundly affects animal shelters. Join us for a webinar on the state of housing and the history of housing justice advocacy efforts in the U.S. (and why animal welfare advocates should care). Lauren Loney\, Staff Attorney & Policy Specialist for HASS\, will share highlights from the HASS shelter intake reasons database\, which details more than 20\,000 housing-related intakes across the country. Joining Lauren is Megan Collop (MSW\, LCSW)\, Manager of Client Support Services for Colorado Legal Services\, and Christina Rosales\, Housing and Land Justice Director for PowerSwitch Action. Megan is a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s in social work and an Animal Assisted Social Work certificate. Christina holds a master’s in social work and has dedicated her career to advocating for equitable housing. These impressive panelists will discuss why our approach to the pets and housing crisis must go beyond pet inclusivity\, be intersectional\, and align with broader tenants’ rights and housing justice movements; they will also provide resources for how to do it. Vincent Medley\, Maddie’s® Director of Human Animal Support Services\, will moderate. \nRegister below and join us live on Thursday\, January 11 at 5 p.m. CT. After the live event\, a recording will be distributed to all registrants within 3 business days. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://zoom.us/webinar/register/2616740581796/WN_-AIP-PlOQt-geuDOGubKoA

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/24/24 - Grief & Loss in Veterinary Medicine - BlackDVM Network
DESCRIPTION:Euthanasia is an experience\, not a procedure or event. The experience of the loss of an animal companion\, no matter how dignified\, well-planned\, and peaceful\, initiates a physiological\, cognitive\, and emotional process which is unique to the individual. This program explores the experience of loss not only for the human “pet parent\,” but also for the other animals who shared in the life of the deceased. Humans and animals have parallel emotional circuitry built into the limbic system of the brain. There is much about the emotional experience of loss that we have in common with our animal companions. Listeners will be challenged to imagine foreign perspectives and re-think the human-animal bond\, anthropomorphism\, and mortality itself. \nThis webinar will equip you with skills to: \n\nChallenge assumptions about patients\, clients\, and the end of life\nBecome comfortable allowing animals to show their emotional needs\nEngage better with clients\, patients\, and colleagues\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.blackdvmnetwork.com/event-details/grief-loss-in-veterinary-medicine

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/25/24 - In Whose Best Interest? with Karen Deeds - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will not outline any training or behavior modification. What it will do is present your options for dogs with serious behavior problems and give you a framework about how to make an educated decision regarding those options. Is management alone an appropriate option? Or is your problem too severe to chance management failure? Is the problem one that can be responsibly transferred to another owner and/or another environment successfully? The same variables to help determine what option is best for you\, will also be critical in determining if training and behavior modification are a viable option as well as how successful that option may be. The agonizing decision to discuss behavioral euthanasia with your veterinarian can also be analyzed logically by using these same variables. This can be a difficult topic. But it is important to keep in mind\, in whose best interest we decide. \nWhether you are part of a rescue group\, shelter staff\, or volunteer\, dedicated dog owner\, professional trainer or behavior consultant\, or a veterinarian working with a client\, this webinar will help to make an appropriate decision regarding a dog in your care. \nJoin Karen Deeds as she takes you through over 20 variables about the dog\, the environment\, and the people involved to help you determine what option is best for a dog with serious behavior issues. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/8/24 - Maddie's Insights: The Influence of Field Trip and Sleepover Programs on Shelter Dog Welfare - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Animal shelters can be stressful for dogs\, but human interaction\, such as foster caregiving\, can improve their experience. In this webcast\, Dr. Gunter will discuss multiple studies she and her team have carried out as part of the Arizona State University/Virginia Tech Maddie’s Nationwide Fostering Study in which we studied the effects of field trip and sleepover programs on the welfare of dogs living in shelters. Their initial studies investigated the physiological impacts of these programs\, and their published study examined how field trips and sleepovers influenced dogs’ likelihood of adoption and length of stay.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/13/24 - Better Futures for Animals – And With – Animals: The Canine Cellmates Model for Post-Conviction Animal Care Programs - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Join Deputy District Attorney Jill Hollander and Animal Legal Defense Fund Managing Attorney David B. Rosengard for a discussion of programs that pair defendants (either via diversion or as part of a sentence) with high euthanasia-risk animals in need of socialization and behavioral support. \nWe will examine the penological goals these programs prioritize\, they ways they safeguard animal interests\, and their impact in the broader community. This presentation will additionally walk through Fulton County\, Georgia’s Canine Cellmates program as a case study. The program prevents men who have been charged or convicted of crimes from experiencing the myriad traumatic life disruptions and setbacks incarceration causes because courts can offer participation in Canine Cellmates as a diversion program or incarceration alternative. Successful completion of Canine Cellmates also allows participants the ability to have charges dismissed or eligible convictions expunged. \nFor this reason\, the program not only saves Fulton County financial resources associated with court and incarceration costs\, but it also saves the county financial resources successful participants might otherwise need\, had they not learned the foundational skills Canine Cellmates provides. Furthermore\, the program’s human graduates experience family restoration\, increased employability\, and low recidivism rates. These graduates become model citizens for teaching compassion to other humans and animals\, which promotes the vitality of a strong community within a One Health-oriented ecosystem. \nThis webinar has been certified by the National Animal Care & Control Association and is approved for 1 Continuing Education Unit. Please refer to your NACA membership portal for current CEU submission process. Current NACA Members who attend the live presentation or watch the recording will be able to download a jointly issued attendance certificate that includes the National Animal Care & Control Association logo.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/29/24 - Beyond the Save Rate: Integrating People into the Sheltering Equation - HASS
DESCRIPTION:Having a 90% or higher save rate has become the gold standard for measuring the success or failure of an animal shelter or rescue\, and it will continue to be an important metric. The problem is that the save rate focuses only on a singular point in a complex societal issue. The more the animal welfare industry learns about people and pets\, the more we realize that the trouble is less about the pets in the shelter and more about the “people problems” that put them there to begin with. Dr. Ellen Jefferson\, President and CEO of Austin Pets Alive!\, covered this topic in her recent Psychology Today article. Now\, she’s joining us alongside Cole Wakefield\, Executive Director of The Good Shepherd Humane Society\, to discuss in a live webinar. Read the article\, bring your questions\, and join us to participate in what is sure to be a lively discussion. Vincent Medley\, Maddie’s® Director of Human Animal Support Services\, will moderate. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://zoom.us/webinar/register/7816739797796/WN_BbAxiIkKT5a0npxBae_Aaw#/registration

SUMMARY:Webinar – 3/1/24 – Fancy Footwork: Practical Handling and Training Solutions for the Entire Shelter – Dogs Playing for Life (fee applies)
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_MrNY3gfvTWCwAJTbtrwoPg#/registration

SUMMARY:Webinar – 3/6/24 – DPFL’s Approach to On-Leash Reactivity – Dogs Playing for Life
