SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/17/22 - Managed and Diverted Intake - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:Managed and diverted intake is the process in which shelters are transparent with their community and empower their community to solve problems outside of the shelter’s walls by working together. Managing intake is not about saying “no” to animals but instead working to find the best solution for that animal which also allows the shelter to better prepare for the animals in their care. Attendees will leave this session with an understanding of what managed and diverted intake is and isn’t\, the rationale and benefits of the program\, including resources for stray animals and owner retention. \nRelevant for: Intake staff\, field staff\, supervisors\nDuration: 2 hours\nPresenters: Jen Adkins and Alesha Davidson\, Best Friends Animal Society \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.calanimals.org/on

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/18/22 - Fancy Footwork: Practical Handling And Training Solutions For The Entire Shelter - Dogs Playing for Life
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.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/24/22 - Pets and Evictions: Keeping Families Intact in a Crisis - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 crisis has drawn into sharp focus the many difficulties that renters face\, including those who have pets. Unprecedented housing hardships are being felt throughout the country and not unlike past economic recessions\, news of sweeping evictions is becoming disturbingly familiar. There are tens of millions of families facing housing insecurity and who are at risk of homelessness due to lack of affordable and available housing for low-income renters as well as being severely housing cost-burdened\, meaning they spend more than 50% of their income on housing costs. \nToday\, an estimated 30–40 million renters are at risk of being evicted when moratoriums lift and with 72% of renters owning pets\, the number of animals displaced with their people could be catastrophic. For most\, pets are considered family members yet in many ways our society does not consider that important relationship in times of crisis. The human-animal bond offers countless mental and physical benefits\, and at a time when people are at risk of losing so much\, it’s critical for those tasked with enforcing an eviction to do everything within their power to help preserve and protect that relationship. \nIn this session\, you will learn about what considerations to make for pets when preparing eviction notices and enforcing eviction orders\, about the importance of companion animals for many families and stability they can provide for at-risk people in times of uncertainty\, and how to utilize your community’s resources to help keep pets and their families together. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/pets-and-evictions-keeping-families-intact-in-a-crisis/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/24/22 - Dentistry for Patients with Underlying Conditions - Think Anesthesia
DESCRIPTION:This presentation covers the importance of performing anesthetic dental procedures in patients with underlying conditions. Veterinary patients frequently present with periodontal or endodontic disease\, oral masses\, or other dental conditions while having one or more medical conditions. Since dentistry in veterinary patients requires anesthesia\, the veterinary clinician must perform an assessment on the risk versus benefit. Understanding the benefits of treatment of common dental conditions and discussing potential risks associated with anesthesia in high-risk patients may help. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.thinkanesthesia.education/live-webinar/2022/01/dentistry-for-patients-with-underlying-conditions

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/25/22 - DPFL’s Approach to On-Leash Reactivity - Dogs Playing for Life
DESCRIPTION:Reactivity on the part of dogs living in shelters is a rampant issue that can contribute to behavioral deterioration\, increased length of stay\, and even loss of life. From a misdiagnosis of “aggression” to dogs whose reactive behavior escalates to problematic and potentially unsafe levels\, learning how to help dogs suffering from reactivity issues is a crucial need shared by our entire industry. \nWhile this webinar can be attended as a standalone course\, we highly recommend attending our Fancy Footwork webinar first. We will build on our Fancy Footwork approach to handling and training to offer practical training\, handling\, and safety solutions to on-leash reactivity for dogs living in shelters. \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://dogsplayingforlife.com/webinars/

SUMMARY:Webinar Series - 2/26/22\, 3/5/22\, and 3/12/22 - The Holy Trinity of Behavior\, Environment & Sociability Behind the Human-Canine Partnership - Puppyworks (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:How the Holy Trinity of Behavior\, Environment & Sociability of dogs and humans creates a unique relationship which you can use to improve your time and activities together. \nMore than a webinar\, we’ll provide an interactive\, behind-closed-doors experience for attendees to see the interconnectedness of the Dog\, the Human & the Environment\, in part from attendee submitted videos. \nSession One: Saturday February 26\, 2022  ​- HOW YOUR BEHAVIOR MATTERS:\nHuman Sociability – Behavior\, Temperament\, Attitudes & Perception.\nWhat do you\, as a biological organism\, bring to the relationship? How the health and attitudes\, including human temperament of the handler (their own sociability) affect their dogs\, and how biological differences affect perception: for example: dogs hear many things (high frequency) that we do not; and dogs smell far more than we do\, smells that dogs never evolved to\, and that distract them or give them information we are not privy to. You see more 3D\, and you see colors they do not. \nWhat do you bring to the relationship as the trainer?\nAttitudes\, biases\, and experiences all affect the dog-human relationship: most importantly\, confirmation bias; and the brain’s tendency to search for the urgent over the important (crisis survival vs. long term). How human anxiety may inadvertently affect canine behavior. How training timing\, reactions and cognition delays\, all affect how you and your dog interact. \nThere is no other interspecies relationship on Earth like that of the dog and the human.\nNothing rivals the dogs’ co-evolution with humans and our species unparalleled willingness to sacrifice for them. That includes the ability to genetically modify dogs\, and to know what we can change and what we cannot\, money to fix ailing dogs\, to modify diets\, and to otherwise manipulate the interactions. We also created a partner that actively manipulates us. It is no coincidence that dog parks are at such an annoying frequency and look so darned cute to us. \nSession Two: Saturday March 5\, 2022  ​- WHY ENVIRONMENT MATTERS:\nHow Genetics\, Perceptions and Behaviors Interact with the Environment.\nThe environment messes with everything! Dogs and humans each take in the environment differently\, and the environment interacts with expression of our dog’s and our own genetic traits. \nHow the environment affects biology:\nWhat kinds of traits are inheritable and how much does environment affect them? In particular\, how much of your dog’s personality is fixed\, such as sociability or aggression or curiosity or trainability? How much does the environment affect your dog’s hormones that force its behaviors? Do dogs create pheromones that manipulate us? \nHome\, Sweet Home—from your dog’s viewpoint and yours. \nIt is important that your dog has a home\, right? But does your dog value or want the same things you want in a home? What would they pick if they had a choice? A place filled with couches? A few boulders with a hole underneath? How do they view their home? How different might your dog be if he or she lived with you in a completely different neighborhood\, or moved from a rural environment into the heart of a city or from your city to one on the other side of the globe? \nThe expanded environment—everything away from home. \nSure\, you and your dog love home. What changes when you leave with your dog\, and why you should care. Travel to you and travel to your dog are unlikely to be the same. You know you are off to camp in the mountains. How does your dog know it is not another trip to the vet to get stiches or a cast or… \nSession Three: Saturday March 12\, 2022  – SOCIABILITY IN DOGS:\nCanine Biology\, Behavior & Sociability.\nWhat limits\, capabilities\, and opportunities does the dog\, as a biological organism\, bring to the relationship? \n\nAges and stages of the dog\nWhy breed type matters\nWhy sociability matters.\n\nThere are many ways to assess sociability in shelter dogs\, but less proven ways of assessing it in owned dogs\, since the human-environment so confounds dog behaviors. Sue and Tim hope to get closer to measuring sociability in the owned dog during this webinar series!  And there may soon be genetic tests for sociability as well. \n\nAre we prioritizing sociability enough in breeding? How inheritable is sociability? How do we measure it?\nHow close are we to fully assessing the recent discovery of a dog genomic region matching one in humans who have a syndrome involving hyper-social behavior? Could this lead to more predictability of behavior in the future?\nWhy sociability is the best insurance policy\, given biological limits\, environmental uncertainties\, and humans…well…being human.\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.puppyworks.com/partnership

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/3/22 - Managing Difficult Volunteers: How and When to Let Volunteers Go - NACA

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.

Later\, while accompanying a friend who was filling out applications for the City of Charlotte (North Carolina)\, she was encouraged to apply for an open Animal Control position. She was called in for a job interview and started her new career path in 1996. \nIn 2017\, Lori was offered the position of Volunteer and Event Supervisor for Charlotte Mecklenberg Animal Control\, where her journey continues….. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/managing-difficult-volunteers-how-and-when-to-let-volunteers-go/
