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.
