Webinar – 11/13/20 – Confronting Conflict with Teams – Banfield
Banfield Presents: Conflict is something that, as much as we try, we cannot avoid because conflict comes up anytime your view differs from another’s — and humans are opinionated beings. While most of us have a strong reactions to conflict, including (but not limited to) fear; avoidance; and/or dread, conflict can also have positive impacts. It can allow for exploration of new and different ways of doing things resulting in better outcomes. When we think of the negatives of conflict it’s because of the emotions that conflict evokes — often making situations feel explosive. By learning how to step up to conflict and confronting it head on by using the right approach, you can turn conflict into a positive for both you and your team.

Webinar – 11/14/20 – Dog Bites to Children: Triggers, Myths and Management – ACVB (fee applies)
ACVB Presents (fee applies): Any dog, of any breed or background, is capable of biting, including family pets who are loved and pampered. Young children, especially, can be injured severely. Although we often hear about the statistics of reported bites to children, there is still a great deal of misunderstanding and mythology about its causes and safe management, and a persistent disconnect between the public’s understanding about dog behavior, and what dogs actually do. Understanding the behavioral basis and triggers of biting, along with humane, rational handling and training, are important steps towards helping children and dogs live together safely.
