SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/27/21 - The Future of Fundraising: All You Need for Hybrid Events and Auctions - Network for Good
DESCRIPTION:Special events and auctions have always been key components to a nonprofit’s mission promotion\, donor acquisition\, and fundraising strategy. Approximately 95% of Network for Good customers host 1-3 events each year\, and 60% run at least 1 auction. \nBut\, we saw that the pandemic shook events and auctions to their core\, driving organizations to rethink the value of their events and how to deliver engaging virtual and hybrid events that still hit fundraising goals. \nSo we got to work! The future of fundraising and events is here and ready for you—livestreaming\, attendee chat\, on-page donation links (with a goal thermometer)\, text to give\, online and mobile auctions. Come learn about the best practices for hybrid events and the best tool to execute them! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.networkforgood.com/resource/the-future-of-fundraising-all-you-need-for-hybrid-events-and-auctions/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/27/21 - Speak the Right Words - Fear Free
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Debra Vey Voda-Hamilton\, principal at Hamilton Law and Mediation\, PLLC (HLM)\, will help vets and their staff learn how to appropriately address disagreements and foster mindful reactions to difficult discussions. \nAs the first conflict consultation practice in the U.S. dedicated to helping people resolve conflicts that arise in business and life over animals\, HLM uses empathy\, compassion\, and methods of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to assist people in understanding the “why” of a conflict that arises when dealing with animals. These conflicts are relational\, not transactional\, and can be nipped in the bud—before they nip the veterinarian in the butt—if skills to address the conflict are learned and applied. \nAttendees will gain the knowledge on how to peacefully and proactively:\n• Address disagreements\n• Choose to keep relationships or let them go peacefully\n• Appreciate how you (and others) think\n• Enhance your listening skills\n• Find strength in allowing curious questions and discussions\n• Realize you can navigate difficult conversations \nBrought to you by our friends at Vetoquinol. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://fearfreepets.com/resources/webinars/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/28/21 - Stress\, Recuperation Rates and Elizabethan Collars - Let's Smash the 'Cone of Shame' and Replace it with the 'Sunflower Shield' - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:After surgery\, a pet is often sent home wearing an Elizabethan collar – also referred to as an E collar\, Buster collar\, or plastic cone – to prevent licking and chewing of the incision which could cause irritation\, infection\, and delayed healing.  Could non-compliance lead to delayed healing?  Could the cone itself lead to extended recovery time if the pet experiences fear\, anxiety\, or stress while wearing the cone? And\, if so\, what can we do to about? \nJoin the presenter as she delves into scientific\, observational\, and anecdotal evidence regarding the impact of owner-compliance and stress on recovery rates and provides a solution to help make wearing of the Elizabethan collar less stressful for the dog\, pet guardians and veterinarians. \nLearning objectives: \n\nUnderstand how fear\, anxiety\, and stress may directly or indirectly affect wound healing.\nUnderstand the potential negative impact of Elizabethan collars on animal welfare.\nLearn how non-compliance of Elizabethan collar wearing may lead to delayed recuperation rates.\nUnderstand the potential for delayed healing which may be experienced by some dogs wearing Elizabethan collars.\nLearn what trainers\, guardians\, vets\, and pet care providers can do to help take the fear\, anxiety\, and stress\, out of the Elizabethan collar\, setting the scene for a happier pet and the potential for a speedier recovery rate.\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1\, IAABC 1\, KPA 1 \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4178769

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/29/21 - The Adolescent Period of Development and Its Implications for Behavior/Dog-Owner - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Whilst knowledge of dog behavior during adolescence arguably exists in the public and professional domain\, the period of adolescence in dogs and other companion animals is vastly understudied within the scientific community. \nAdolescence is a relatively long period of development during which a juvenile becomes an adult and is marked by intense neurological and hormonal changes. Within the domestic dog\, adolescence is typically considered to begin with the onset of pubertal development at around 6 months of age (puberty is thought to begin between 6-9 months in males and 6-16 months of age in females) and continues until behavioral/social maturity is reached. There is no precisely agreed age at which an individual dog can be considered behaviorally mature\, but dogs aged younger than two years have the shortest memory spans and certain trait level behavioral changes still occur between 18-24 months of age in border collie dogs. Therefore\, dogs aged under 2 years of age are likely to still be undergoing adolescent behavioral development. \nThis period of development is likely to be a particularly vulnerable time for dog-owner relationships\, and for shaping the long-term behavior of the developing animal. In this session\, the presenter will provide an overview of the neurological and behavioural changes that mammals undergo during adolescence\, along with highlighting the potential implications. \nAlthough the particular focus of this session will be on dogs\, much of the theory and evidence behind it should be applicable across all mammalian species\, and much of the background provided will be in general terms\, so the session should be applicable for anyone interested simply in mammalian behavior development. \nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 1\, IAABC 1\, KPA 1 \n  \nAbout Your Presenter \nDr. Naomi Harvey is a zoologist with a specialty in applied animal behavior and veterinary health and welfare. Since November 2019\, she has been working at the Dogs Trust as a research manager in canine behavior and she holds an honorary position as an associate professor of companion animal behavior and welfare at the University of Nottingham. With a BSc in zoology from Cardiff University and a PhD in applied canine behavior from the University of Nottingham\, Dr. Harvey has a particular specialty in designing and validating methods for securing robust and valid measures of animal behavior from their guardians. \nShe also has expertise in veterinary epidemiology\, having successfully designed and led the Itchy Dog project to investigate the environmental and genetic risk factors for canine atopic dermatitis and its impact on dog behavior. Her research interests lie in improving the evidence base for issues affecting companion animal welfare within the fields of veterinary medicine and clinical animal behavior\, to better inform how we manage and treat the animals in our care. Her PhD focused on how behavior develops in juvenile guide dogs\, and as such\, she has a particular interest in the adolescent phase of development and what it could mean for our pets. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4361943

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/29/21 - Denise Fenzi - Calming Games for High Arousal - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:You love your dog’s enthusiasm for the reinforcer but you don’t love the frantic ball of fur energy that comes out in its presence. You love your dog’s drive for work but sometimes you wish she took a day off once in a while. You love to train your dog at home but when you go out\, it’s as if the whole world is a trigger for high arousal.  \nSound familiar? \nEasily aroused dogs are awesome dogs with fantastic working capacity but sometimes we wish they could self-regulate better. Self regulation is necessary to live peacefully in our world\, and if you have goals for competition\, they are essential in order to perform with a clear head. Plus\, it’s kinder to the dog. Who wants to exist in a state of overarousal all the time? \nSo what can you do? You can learn to provide appropriate outlets for that energy\, and give your dog the tools they need to relax (or escalate) their arousal as appropriate. Here’s where Calming Games for High Arousal come in! We hope you’ll join Denise Fenzi for this webinar to find out about the skills and games you can play with your dog to raise and lower arousal. An essential skill for both life and sports! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/fdsa-calendar
