SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/2/20 - Assessing Dog Behaviour in Shelter Settings - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Assessment processes for dogs in shelters have changed dramatically in recent years\, with research findings driving a fundamental shift away from short\, provocative battery-style behaviour tests to holistic\, information-gathering assessment processes. This data-driven shift away from ‘poke-and-prod’ type tests has created some fantastic opportunities for animal management and sheltering professionals to improve not just their behaviour assessments\, but also the level of care provided to animals\, staff safety\, and appropriate outcomes for the dogs themselves. \nCome join Trish and Di to find out more about the research underpinning this seismic shift in procedure\, and how you can move towards a more modern and holistic model for assessing dog behaviour in shelters. \nYou will learn: \n\nSummary of recent research findings relevant to animal behaviour assessments in applied environments\nBasic principles in canine behaviour and personality assessment\nHow to implement a ‘data-gathering’ continuous assessment process in your facility\, using fast-track and slow-track processes. We will include some tips and tricks that we’ve learned along the way\, and help you improve flow and outcome.\n\n  \nThis is part of a two-part series:\n\nNovember 11: Canine Communication in the Field and Shelter\nDec 2: Assessing Dog Behaviour in Shelter Settings (this webinar)\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n \nThe Australian Institute of Animal Management (AIAM) is the national peak body representing Local Government Animal Management Officers. The AIAM Committee consists of a wide range of professionals engaged in the various aspects of animal management. \nAIAM seeks to support those engaged in the business of animal management\, and the function itself\, by providing training and information\, opportunities for networking and collaboration\, and by encouraging the use of best practice policy and practices. AIAM promotes consistency of legislation\, consultation in the creation of legislation and workplace processes\, and healthy relationships with external stakeholders and the community. AIAM supports cross-sector collaboration and co-design of projects and initiatives. \n  \n\nPresenters: \n\n\nTrish McMillan holds a Master of Science degree in animal behavior\, and is a certified professional dog trainer\, certified dog behavior consultant\, and associate certified cat behavior consultant.  She has been involved in the animal rescue and sheltering world since the mid-1990’s\, starting out as a volunteer and working her way up to director of animal behavior. She worked for the ASPCA for nearly eight years; first as Director of Animal Behavior at their NYC shelter\, then as a behaviorist on their field team\, helping assess and rehabilitate dogs from cruelty cases\, dogfighting and hoarding situations\, then she joined the Shelter Research and Development team. \nTrish currently does animal behavior consulting near Asheville\, North Carolina\, working with dogs\, cats and horses. Her farm\, Pibble Hill\, is home to a happy herd of animals of five species. Trish speaks and consults nationally and internationally on animal sheltering issues\, dog\, cat\, and horse behavior\, dog aggression\, and defensive handling. Her online shelter dog behavior offerings have helped students from around the world apply best practices at their respective shelters and rescues. \n\n  \n\n  \n\n\nDr Diana Rayment holds a PhD in Canine Behaviour and a Bachelor of Animal Science. Her primary research area is canine behaviour and assessments in applied settings\, like animal shelters. She has also worked in a variety of academic and industry settings\, including as a TAFE and university educator\, as an applied scientist studying companion animal welfare and behaviour and working dog assessments\, a dog trainer\, a shelter nurse and most recently\, leading the behaviour team at the Greyhound Adoption Program Victoria.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/3/20 - Animals In Disaster–How to Help Your Community - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:When disaster hits\, animals and their owners are greatly impacted.  All eyes will be on your agency\, and how well it serves the animals and their owners in your community during this time of need can create huge goodwill for your agency–or create lasting ill-will.  This webinar will help you learn how to be ready to emergency shelter animals by identifying the supplies you’ll need and valuable partnerships to make.  You will also learn how to get the outside help you might need if local resources become overwhelmed.  Finally\, this webinar will teach you some basic practices that will help you keep animals and their families together during the challenge and chaos of the natural disaster. \n\nWhy emergency sheltering is needed in a disaster\nHow to find a site for the shelter\, the cages/containment for the animals\, veterinary care\, and food and other supplies\nHow to ask for outside help during a disaster\nWhat are the best practices you can adopt in order to keep animals together with their people.\n\n  \n\n \n  \nThe National Law Enforcement Center on Animal Abuse was established by the National Sheriffs’ Association to provide law enforcement officers information on the realities of animal abuse and to promote their proactive involvement in the enforcement of animal abuse laws in their communities. Through our partners\, the Center will serve as an information clearinghouse and forum for law enforcement on the growing problem of animal abuse and its link to other types of crimes\, including violence against humans. The Center also promotes officer safety in officer-dog encounters through continuing education and training. \n  \n  \n \n  \nThe National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership. \n  \n\nPresenters:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nBeth Gammie is the Director of Field Services for RedRover\, a national animal welfare organization headquartered in Sacramento\, California.  In this role\, Beth leads the RedRover Responders program which provides emergency animal sheltering in natural disasters and large-scale cruelty seizures throughout the United States and Canada.  Prior to this position\, she was a volunteer with RedRover and other animal welfare groups. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/animals-in-disasters-how-to-help-your-community/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/3/20 - Is it fear\, anxiety\, or something else? - Sharon Carroll - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, December 3\, 2020\nTime: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).\nFee: $19.95 – Registration required PRIOR to scheduled presentation time. \nCurrently there are a range of psychopathologies described in dogs. These include canine-PTSD\, depressive-like conditions\, ADHD-like disorders\, canine compulsive disorder and a range of specific anxiety conditions and phobias. Each of these disorders is characterized by the presence of a collection of specific individual behaviors. \nSome of the individual behaviors occurring in the above disorders are abnormal at any time\, whilst many are normal under certain circumstances.
As we all become more aware of canine emotions\, and we strive to ensure the psychological wellbeing of our dogs\, it can become increasingly difficult to know what’s normal and what’s not. \nWhen working out what’s normal\, it needs to be remembered\, that whilst there is a lot of discussion on the impact of genetics on behavioral pathologies\, normal behaviors have a genetic basis as well (i.e. breed-related behaviors). These can include such traits as hypervigilance to movement\, consistently high energy levels\, low frustration thresholds\, rapid escalation to high arousal\, owner guarding behaviors\, and provocation by the presence of unknown dogs or people. \nSo\, when we see a dog lunging and barking at an approaching stranger\, they may be demonstrating fear-based behaviors\, but there may be another cause entirely. We need to ensure we are correctly identifying the emotion behind the behavior\, so we can select the correct training approach. Using an incorrect strategy may be ineffective or it could even allow the behavior to escalate further. Looking at the individual behaviors more closely\, and through a more objective lens\, we can ensure each dog receives the help it needs. \nIn this webinar we will discuss fear\, anxiety\, frustration and over-arousal. We will look at common genetic traits that can lead to behavioral issues\, and discuss various behavior-modifying techniques for reactivity\, and the performance of aggressive behaviors toward people and dogs. We will also identify key behaviors that indicate it is time to seek out help from a veterinary behavior specialist. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar Series - 12/5/20\, 12/12/20\, & 12/19/20 - Resource Guarding - PuppyWorks (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION: Webinar Program\n\n\nEach segment starts with a presentation of about 90 minutes\, followed by a 15 minute “coffee break” and ends with 45 minute Q/A session during which Sue & Trish will respond to questions posed by attendees of the live sessions. \n\n\nWhether you make the live sessions or not\, you will be able to access a complete recording of each session for 1 year. \n\n\n​​ \nSession One (Saturday\, December 5\, 2020): Assess-A-Pet & Ethogram  ​ \nASSESS-A-PET (AAP) Protocols to evaluate resource guarding (RG) & aggression thresholds. Practical\, detailed\, step-by-step procedures that evaluators can utilize in a home or at shelters and rescues to assess the tendency for RG\, the prospect of a high threshold for RG vs. a low threshold for RG\, quite possibly the degree of intensity\, and how we interpret what we are seeing. \n​Ethogram: An extensive catalog of seemingly endless\, often very subtle behaviors that tell us if a dog is feeling competitive\, or at risk of escalating into aggression. Focus on the AAP procedures and the subtle or not-so-subtle behaviors associated with competitiveness and/or a low threshold for RG. \n​ \nSession Two (Saturday\, December 12\, 2020): Low Threshold RG   ​ \n​Some of the science of RG and assessing it in shelter dogs. The low threshold resource guarder’s behavior in the home and community. Defining low aggression thresholds and what dogs usually guard: \n\n\nNot just the food bowl. \n\n\nManifestation in the home & neighborhood. \n\n\nImplications for other behavioral issues like separation anxiety. \n\n\nPica etc. \n\n\nRecognizing these small behaviors in real life:​ \n\n\nWill the dog guard an owner? \n\n\nIs the dog likely to bite a stranger or neighbor? \n\n\nWhat behaviors to look for when meeting a new client and their dog. \n\n\nHow RG can affect dog-dog interactions generally. \n\n\nSession Three (Saturday\, December 19\, 2020): RG Management & Behavior Modification \nResource Guarding is a natural behavior in all species. Management & modification protocols depend on- \nHelping clients identify problem areas including differing types of guarding & degree of risk associated with each\, such as: guarding\, food\, objects\, places\, people etc.\, and against whom the dog is guarding: other dogs\, children\, adults\, a single adult etc. \nIdentifying skill level & time availability of owners to ascertain what management or modification protocols are possible. Many people cannot maintain complex resource guarding protocols. Even when one person can\, others cannot. Safeguards are important for each family\, plus assessment of each dog’s degree of aggression potential and providing alternatives or resources for the family if the risk is deemed too high. \nProtocols: \n\n\nManagement: Identify & remove high value items – give potentially valuable objects & food in private area. \n\n\nGeneral guidelines: Teach dog that there are unlimited resources & that owner always has better resources ready to share; Teach “drop”. \n\n\nCognitive method : Teach dog to look up & away from item when asked or whenever owner passes by; Teach dog to leave item when asked. \n\n\nDog to Dog: Make sure management protocols are adhered to; Status adjustment as needed. \n\n\nOutcomes: Progress reports  ·Reality based decisions (some resource guarding is persistent\, no matter what we do) ·Rehoming if appropriate. \n\n\n  \n\nSpeakers\nSUE STERNBERG (www.suesternberg.com) \n\n\n\n\n\nSue founded the shelter featured in an  HBO documentary: Shelter Dogs (www.shelterdogs.org).  She has developed national programs\, such as Training Wheels® for community shelter outreach and dedicated herself to ensuring the quality of life of animals in their communities\, at animal shelters and in safe adoptions. Her 30 years of canine behavior experience\, includes as an animal control officer\, behavior consultant  at the ASPCA\, shelter owner\,  successful competitor in dog sports\, and a teacher of dog trainers world-wide. \n\n\nShe is the author of Great Dog Adoptions: A Guide for Shelters (Latham Foundation publication) and Successful Dog Adoption published by Wiley. Her most recent publications (all published by Dogwise) include Out and About With Your Dog\, Dog-Dog Interactions\,  Assessing Aggression Thresholds in Dogs and  Understanding Sociability (DVD). \nClick here for Sue’s website. \n​ \n\n\nTRISH KING (www.canine-behavior-associates.com) \n\n\n\n\n\nTrish has been a dog addict since she was a teen\, and managed to combine her love of dogs with her respect and affection for people. Her goal is always to enrich the lives of both\, through the humane and thoughtful use of relationship work\, environmental management and training. \nTrish established the Canine Behavior Academy at the Marin Humane Society for new or interested trainers\, which covers dog handling\, evaluating\, learning theory\, training techniques and solving problems\, as well as teaching people. \n\n\nAfter she left Marin Humane\, she taught the academy at Humane Society Silicon Valley\, and then locally in Marin.  It is now offered online.  Several hundred people have attended all levels of the Academy.  Trish also teaches workshops and seminars on behavior\, canine management\, temperament assessment\, and handling difficult dogs. \nTrish’s speaking engagements have included numerous conferences presented by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers\, the Humane Society of the United States\,  and the American Humane Association\, as well as California Animal Care Conferences\, private training groups\, webinars and teleconferences. \nShe has written a critically acclaimed book for dog owners\, Parenting Your Dog (TFH Publications)\, as well as numerous articles about dog and cat behavior for local and national newspapers and magazines.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/8/20 - Ringworm Cats and Kittens: From Fungus to Forever Homes - Missouri Coalition of Animal Care Organizations
DESCRIPTION:The Missouri Coalition of Animal Care Organizations welcomes cat expert Stephanie Stryker to discuss deliberate and thoughtful housing ideas for ringworm cats inside the shelter so they are accessible and noticed by adopters. She’ll discuss how to market/counsel adopters on ringworm cats and what to do to set them up for success when they leave the shelter. Recommended treatments and our in-home care handouts will be included. \nStephanie has been working in animal welfare since 2011\, in both Arizona and Utah\, and she started as an “all around” cat staff in a nonprofit rescue shelter where they did daily care\, medical treatment\, adoptions\, and store transports. Then she worked at a sanctuary where she worked primarily with Feline Leukemia cats\, providing care and medical treatment. That was followed by 3 years working in and overseeing a community cat program alongside Pima Animal Care Center where she is now the Cat Programs Coordinator\, overseeing the adoption and behavior programs for the in-shelter cats. \nThe Missouri Coalition of Animal Care Organizations seeks to transform the collective impact of animal welfare organizations through a collaborative network that supports Missouri’s companion animals and their communities. We’re conducting regular calls to help connect animal advocates in our community and elevate our knowledge of progressive strategies to support pets and their families. You can join our movement by becoming a member of the Coalition today! www.missourianimals.org \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://fb.me/e/3bNQnTCec

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/8/20 - Looking Back to Look Forward: Why Fear and Bias Have Weakened the Animal Welfare Movement - The AAWA and PetfinderPro
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Petfinder Pro Adoption Options Series: \nThe animal welfare field is fueled by compassionate individuals who share a deep love of animals. At the same time\, that compassion has not always been extended to the other side of the leash. Fear and bias have created structural barriers to adoption\, unequal access to pet care resources\, and missed opportunities to accomplish our lifesaving goals. Together\, we will learn how to identify outdated practices and policies while addressing the underlying\, well-intentioned concerns that have kept them in place. \nAttendees will hear how peer organizations throughout the United States have embraced a fresh and more equitable approach to supporting the bond between pets and the diverse range of people who love them. The future of animal welfare is bright and we have an unprecedented opportunity to make positive change!  \nWEBSITE LINK: https://learning.theaawa.org/p/pf1
