SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/27/21 - Refresh Your Compassionate Heart: An Everyday Tool for You and Your Team - Texas Unites (fee applies)

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/27/21 - Pet Stores\, Puppy Mills and Local Action to End the Problem - Texas Unites (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Over 300 communities\, including several in Texas\, have banned the sale of puppy mill dogs in pet stores. These humane pet store ordinances are drying up the market for puppy mill dogs and helping to easing the suffering of breeding dogs who are routinely confined in tiny\, filthy cages until they can no longer produce another litter of puppies. Passing a local ordinance\, even if your community does not currently have a puppy selling pet store\, is a vital step in helping bring about an end to this cruel business model. \nYou will hear from two speakers who have decades of lobbying experience and have been at the forefront of this campaign. You’ll learn how to get an ordinance drafted\, introduced and enacted into law. You’ll learn what hurdles that puppy mill lobbyist will throw in your path\, and how to overcome them. This workshop is a must for those who are passionate about ending puppy mills. \nPresenters \nLauren Loney\, Texas State Director\, State Affairs\, The Humane Society of the United States\nAmy Jesse\, Public Policy Director\, Stop Puppy Mills Campaign\, The Humane Society of the United States \nConnect to this webinar on Your Conference Connection Page.  *Password required*\nPassword is provided with registration confirmation. \n***** \nLike this topic?  Register Today! \nYour $49 registration fee provides access to all webinars May 19 through July 1. \nAll sessions are CE approved through DSHS and AAWA with selected sessions approved through TBVME. \nRegistration will remain open throughout the Virtual Learning Series.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/27/21 - Overcoming Adoption Barriers: Where Marketing Meets Policy - American Pets Alive!
DESCRIPTION:The intersection of marketing and adoption policies is where the magic happens for reducing barriers to adoption. The role of marketing is to help define our programs for the community\, communicate how to use our services\, and advertise how people can get involved. But great marketing alone can’t increase adoptions if the experience of adopting isn’t supported by good customer service\, open adoption policies\, and solution-driven programs. This webinar looks at how our marketing efforts\, from our social media posts to our adoption bios\, can welcome more community members to our mission. We’ll also discuss how our adoption policies can support this mindset of welcoming our entire community while reducing barriers and saving more pets. \nJoin Clare Callison\, our Maddie’s® Director of National Pet Supply and Demand\, and Caitlin Quinn\, Director of Operations at HeARTs Speak\, for this insightful webinar on May 27 at 5pm CDT. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/3816189358603/WN_9qb1cBvMQgmJhJVLEqcxPw

She always dreamed of being a veterinarian\, during high school she started an internship program that provided her the opportunity to work as a veterinary technician in a clinic located in Palm Desert. \nShortly after starting the internship\, she quickly realized how many dogs were being euthanized for behavior issues and how little access there was to trainers in the area. Tabitha discussed her concerns with the veterinarians and with their encouragment started to pursue her education in canine behavior. \nTabitha spent the next year raiding local libraries and reading every book on training\, behavior and the evolution of canids. She eventually graduated highschool and continued working as a veterinary technician while training her own dogs and horses. \nTabitha has been training professionally for over 17 years and handling behavior cases for the past 9 years. She is currently certified with CPDT-KA\, ACDBC\, FF-C\, CTDI\, and is working towards PCBC-A.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 6/3/21 - Working with Dogs That Lack Enthusiasm - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Some dogs just don’t appear to be enthusiastic about training. This may present as a lack of enthusiasm for all training related activities\, or it may be specific to a certain sport or individual task (e.g. dumbbell retrieve). In some cases\, the dog may even appear to lose interest in training after a period of what appeared to be enthusiastic\, engaged work. \nThe observable behaviors may include: \n\nResponding slowly to cues\, needing repeated cues\, or stopping responding altogether.\nLeaving you or the training area during a session.\nAvoiding eye contact with you or the task.\nEngaging in displacement behaviors such as sniffing the ground during an active training session.\nDeveloping a reluctance to join you at the start of a training session.\n\nIn this webinar we discuss common reasons why these behaviors may occur\, including: \n\nFeeling fearful\, anxious\, frustrated\, or conflicted.\nPhysical limitations.\nLow levels of mental stamina.\nSensitivity to making mistakes.\nSensitivity to changes in the environment.\nImpact of prior learning history.\n\nMost importantly\, we also discuss simple strategies to put the enthusiasm back into the training process\, for both the dog and the human! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar – 6/7/21 – MAC 2021 Webinar Series – The Future of Sheltering: Human Animal Support Services – Massachusetts Animal Coalition
DESCRIPTION:What if there was a way animal welfare organizations could meaningfully address and solve the root causes of why animals enter shelters in the first place? The Human Animal Support Services (HASS) project is a collaborative effort of more than 500 animal welfare experts\, 40 shelters and 36 working groups that are aiming to do just that. In the process\, big lessons are being learned\, revolutionary changes are happening\, barriers in the community are broken down as the community becomes more involved – all allowing animals and people to stay together. \nLearn about: \n\nThe different components of HASS\, how these components work to break down barriers making adoption\, fostering\, vet care etc accessible to all communities and how you can easily implement them in your organization.\nProven strategies for reducing intake and housing more pets outside of the shelter.\nEmbracing technology\, repurposing staff\, and accomplishing the HASS model without a lot of extra funding.\nUtilizing Volunteers in ways you never imagined to make all of this possible.\n\nSpeaker Information \nKristen Hassen is the Director of Maddie’s American Pets Alive!\, overseeing the Maddie’s Academy\, Human Animal Support Services\, and other lifesaving initiatives. Kristen formerly served as the Director of Pima Animal Care Center\, an open admission\, government animal shelter in Tucson\, Arizona with an intake of 20\,000 animals annually and a live release rate of 93%. While at PACC\, Kristen launched many of the Human Animal Support Services initiatives\, including building the nation’s largest municipal shelter foster program\, with 5\,500 pets going to foster care annually. Before that\, Kristen served as the Deputy Director at Austin Animal Center\, in Austin\, Texas and the Assistant Director at Fairfax County Animal Shelter in Fairfax\, Virginia. \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=dmv5lydab&oeidk=a07ehw9aaoj0f484258

SUMMARY:Webinar - 6/9/21 - Thinking Outside the Snot: Shelter Medicine Approaches to Upper Respiratory Infections in Cats - EveryCat Health Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Cats in animal shelters are uniquely prone to upper respiratory infections\, aka URI or “the cat common cold”. These infections are complicated. They are inextricably tied to stress and crowding in cats. They can be caused by a number of viruses and bacteria. You can’t vaccinate or treat your way out of an established URI problem. Affected cats are often treated with antibiotics\, even though infections are often viral\, and this can result in poor appetite\, vomiting\, diarrhea and resistant infections. Chronic URI can be a nightmare for shelters and adopters\, and can sometimes cause severe health issues. \nThis presentation will focus on newer shelter medicine approaches to URI – prevention strategies that have succeeded to the point that many shelters no longer have a “URI problem”; when to isolate affected cats and when that’s not needed; when diagnostic tests are needed and which ones are useful; when to treat and with what; and how to manage a newly adopted cat that is sneezing. RACE Approved! \nDr. Linda Jacobson obtained her veterinary degree in Pretoria\, South Africa\, in 1986\, and went on to specialize in companion animal internal medicine. She has been at the Toronto Humane Society since 2010\, where she is currently Senior Manager\, Shelter Medicine Advancement. \nIn 2015 she completed a Graduate Certificate in Shelter Medicine through the University of Florida. Linda is co-founder and President and Treasurer of the Ontario Shelter Medicine Association. She serves on the Standard of Care Working Group of the College of Veterinarians of Ontario and Toronto Humane Society’s Unsocial Cat Working Group.  Her professional passions and interests include accessible veterinary care\, infectious diseases\, animal hoarding\, and evidence-based medicine. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://everycat.org/thinking-outside-the-snot-shelter-medicine-approaches-to-upper-respiratory-infections-in-cats/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 6/10/21 - Data\, Data\, Every Where\, Nor Any Stat to Keep: Collecting and Analyzing Data That Makes a Difference - Texas Unites (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Data is everywhere\, and lots of it.  There is so much data\, of one form or another\, collected in animal service organizations that it can become a bad thing\, if not used wisely.   Too much data\, ineffective analysis or poor data management can make gathering information for decision making almost impossible.  Worse it can prove deceptive and cause you to make the wrong decisions. \nIn this session we will discuss the aspects of data collection\, management and analysis.  We will explore making sense of the data available to us\, how we put information in context and the value of keeping things simple.  We will also discuss the potential for\, and benefit of\, automating data collection and analysis. \nPresenter \nJason Smith MBA\, CAWA\, Technology Integration Consultant\, HLP Inc.\, Makers of Chameleon Software \nConnect to this webinar on Your Conference Connection Page.  *Password required*\nPassword is provided with registration confirmation. \n***** \nLike this topic?  Register Today! \nYour $49 registration fee provides access to all webinars May 19 through July 1. \nAll sessions are CE approved through DSHS and AAWA with selected sessions approved through TBVME. \nRegistration will remain open throughout the Virtual Learning Series.
