SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/29/21 - Turning Data Into Insight - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:Data is one of the essential tools that leadership\, staff\, and advocates have\, yet it often seems overwhelming and impossible to understand. How might we use our own data to inform programs\, decisions and share with advocates and staff to work toward common goals and understanding? \nLeave this presentation knowing the common discrepancies in shelter data\, significant differences between micro and macro data (and what they can and can’t show us)\, the data you need to understand to make informed decisions and answer commonly asked questions. You will learn how to understand what these numbers are telling you and how to use this information to advocate for your programs and save more lives. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5dLudWBFQseqIXhRqi8vog

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/29/21 - Your End of the Leash Part Two: Breathe! It’s good for you (and your dog!) - Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is the second in the Your End of the Leash series\, which focuses on helping handlers become the best possible partners for their dogs.  \nNo matter how smart your dog may be\, no matter how much he knows or can do\, he still depends on you as his partner.  \nWould you want a partner who was tense with gritted teeth and tight breathing? Or would you prefer a relaxed partner\, whose movements and expression showed enjoyment in working with you?  \nThis webinar focuses on the simple but oh-so complicated basic of life itself: breathing. We’ll cover:  \n\nBreathe! Why in and out is the best choice \nBreathing as communication – what you tell your dog (maybe without meaning to) \nEffects of breathing on learning & performance \nObserving breathing patterns in yourself and others \nCoaching others \n\nYou’ll learn practical techniques to help yourself (and your students) create greater awareness about breathing\, along with ways to practice here\, there and everywhere.  \nBonus: what you learn in your quest to become your dog’s best partner turns out to be helpful in the rest of your life! Breathing awareness can help you relax\, reduce tension and stress\, and understand how your breathing can affect others.  \nJOIN US!  \nALL WEBINARS ARE RECORDED. A link will be sent to you 48 hours after the completion of the webinar for you to access the recording and watch at your convenience.  \nIf you need CEUs for IAABC or PPAB\, instructions on how to get those CEUs will be made available during the webinar. CEUs for IAABC and PPAB are pending.  \nIf this is your first time using GoToWebinar do not forget to test your connection. GoToWebinar offers a test webinar so you can trouble shoot ahead of time.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/4/21 - Avoiding Teeth and Bullets: Safely Interacting with Animals as a Law Enforcement Officer - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:From dogs and cats to wildlife and livestock\, law enforcement personnel often encounter animals on a weekly\, if not daily basis. The challenges of carrying out law enforcement duties when there is an animal component can be challenging\, stressful and dangerous. Understanding things like animal behavior and body language\, as well as various control techniques can make these instances safer and allow law enforcement to carry out the task at hand. Whether the assigned call for duty is directly related to the animal or the animal is peripheral\, understanding some basic animal handling techniques and animal behavior can be the difference between closing out a call and moving on to the next or ending up in the emergency room. \nOr click here to view and register for other upcoming NACA  webinars on the JCH Platform. \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\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n \nChris Brosan is the Chief of Humane Law Enforcement for the Department of Animal Services in Loudoun County\, Virginia. He has been with the department for eight years\, is a former police officer\, and spent two and a half years as Manager of Strategic Campaigns and Special Projects with the Humane Society of the United States. With HSUS he traveled the country training law enforcement\, in 10 states and across the islands of Puerto Rico and Vieques\, on how to investigate animal cruelty\, the connection between animal abuse and human violence\, and navigating police and canine encounters. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/avoiding-teeth-and-bullets-safely-interacting-with-animals-as-a-law-enforcement-officer/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/11/21 - Pet Friendly Domestic Violence Shelters: Creating a pet-friendly program that works for your community - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to take a deeper dive and learn how to create a program to help domestic violence survivors and their pets find safety and healing together? This webinar will focus on overcoming barriers to creating pet-friendly programs by focusing on collaboration and thoughtful program planning. We’ll discuss fundraising\, construction\, and policies and procedures for both on-site and off-site programs\, and attendees will leave with concrete next steps. This webinar is intended for domestic violence and animal shelter representatives\, veterinarians\, and anyone else interested in supporting a pet-friendly program in their community. \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  \nThis webinar was pre-approved for 1 CEU credit by the National Advocate Credentialing Program (NACP)® and the DoD Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program (D-SAACP).  Founded in 1975\, the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA) is the oldest national victim assistance organization of its type in the United States and is the recognized leader in victim advocacy\, education and credentialing.  To learn more about NOVA\, visit trynova.org. \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n \nKatie Campbell is the Outreach Manager for RedRover and has worked with nonprofits for 10-plus years. During this time she has worked with diverse communities across racial\, ethnic\, and economic lines in positions ranging from front line service to management roles.  She has worked closely with survivors of domestic violence\, as well as other individuals at risk\, and with many nonprofits serving these communities. Katie is a firm believer that more can be accomplished when organizations work together and with the community rather than in silos. \nKatie’s educational background includes an M.A. in Sociology from Sacramento State University\, which she credits with furthering her passion for listening and learning from others.  Her work at RedRover brings together two of her greatest passions: working with people and supporting the welfare of animals. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/pet-friendly-domestic-violence-shelters-creating-a-pet-friendly-program-that-works-for-your-community/

DESCRIPTION:Decreasing fear\, anxiety\, stress (FAS)\, and pain leads to safer anesthesia by allowing a lower dose of sedative and anesthetic drugs needed for anesthesia premedication\, induction\, maintenance\, and recovery. Lower drug dosages are especially critical in complicated patients with underlying disease and physiologic compromise. In this discussion Dr. Tamara Grubb will explore the role of Fear Free principles in anesthetic safety\, especially in the compromised/complicated patient. \nAttendees will:\n1. Review the physiologic/pathologic impact of fear\, anxiety\, stress\, pain and anesthesia on the patient.\n2. Understand how these physiologic/pathologic impacts can magnify pathologic changes of select diseases\, increasing the likelihood of anesthetic adverse effects.\n3. Learn how to incorporate Fear Free principles into anesthetic protocols to improve anesthetic safety for complicated patients. \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Tamara Grubb is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia & Analgesia with a strong focus in pain management. She owns an anesthesia/analgesia/continuing education consulting practice that serves both small and large animals (VetAACE). Dr. Grubb is a national/international educator and lecturer\, a certified acupuncturist\, an Adjunct Professor of Anesthesia & Analgesia at Washington State\, a Fear Free Certified Practitioner\, and on the International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management’s (IVAPM) Board of Directors. She is co-author of two books\, including “Veterinary Anesthesia & Pain Management for Nurses & Technicians.” Dr. Grubb’s favorite achievement is winning the Distinguished Teaching Award at two universities. \nThis program has been submitted (but not yet approved) for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize AAVSB RACE approval. \nBrought to you by Zoetis Petcare. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WkGmleG3S_2DujNU_mFWcw

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/13/21 - Broken Connection: Why Your Dog Loses Focus with Nicole Wiebusch - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Does your dog disconnect from you during training? Would you like some ideas on how to fix and prevent disconnection? Having a training plan and systematically working your way through increasing criteria\, distractions\, and generalization can go a long way toward reducing disconnection. \nDuring this webinar we will define disconnection and discuss common reasons that dogs disconnect from their handlers. We’ll talk about how to figure out why dogs disconnect\, and we’ll cover ways to fix it and prevent further disconnection in the future. You will be shown video examples of several different scenarios in which the dog disconnected and we’ll talk through what likely happened. You will come away with a better understanding of why dogs disconnect and what you can do about it. \nNote: this webinar will not cover extremely fearful dogs. That in itself is a complicated subject and there are other classes at FDSA that are better equipped for helping your fearful dog. \nThis is a repeat webinar. Please check your webinar library before purchasing. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/17/21 - Make the Shift! Tips To Safely Move Animals to Various Locations with a Team Approach - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:It happens at the moment you need it most. The repair person arrives to fix a broken appliance\, and protocol states all pets must be secured. But you cannot find the family cats to ensure they’re safely crated. Or\, the doorbell rings and your dog is playing the ‘chase me game’ to avoid being gated to another part of the home. Perhaps habitat repairs need to be done\, yet the Red fox chooses to take a nap in the outside enclosure while sunbathing rather than move to a holding area. \nWhat if we can put the odds in our favor and work with animals in our care? Rather than watch the clock tick away along with our patience\, let’s start from a point of success. This new webinar with Laura Monaco Torelli will help you to build a productive plan that keeps caregivers’ and animals’ working together. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/market/catalog/live-webinars/live-webinars-english-c-34/make-the-shift.html
