Shelter Learniverse and Industry-Wide Calendar

VETGirl Presents: In this complimentary,1-hour, VETgirl–Elanco webinar, Dr. Brian Herrin, DVM, PhD, DACVM will discuss common tapeworms of dogs and cats, but are they all the same? Since tapeworms can be relatively difficult to diagnose and sometimes treat, it’s time to look a little closer at the common species that we find in dogs and cats. Tune in to learn species similarities and differences, the spread of certain species and the possible emerging threat to public health.

National Kitten Coalition Presents: Pregnant queens with their tiny baby kittens are already arriving in many parts of our country – and in some places, the kitten season never stops! These moms and their babies need trained fosters to save their lives. Have you thought about fostering a mom with kittens? Have you fostered already, but would like to know more? Join us for this free training!

FDSA Presents (fee applies): Starting with no cue at all, Denise Fenzi will walk you through the steps of developing a strong leave-it! First you’ll teach a traditional cue and next you’ll work towards an automatic response to attractive options in the environment. How cool is that?!

Dogs Playing for Life Presents: In this session, we will focus on the HUMAN handling that contributes to unwanted behavior, even “aggression”. Get ready to rethink your approach as we reveal the common and widely accepted and taught handling errors that set dogs up for failure. Through extensive video examples, we will demonstrate alternative handling techniques that help dogs to trust and thrive!
