Online Course – Starts 3/1/21 – RAT™: Relationship Assessment Tool – Certification Course with Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)

Virtual

Suzanne Clothier Presents (fee applies): RAT™ is a rapid assessment tool that provides clear information about each relationship. Whoever they may be, in every relationship the handler brings his or her habits, personalities, needs and style to interact with the dog, who also brings his own personality, patterns of response, needs and style. We need to work with the whole package. RAT™ is ideal for trainers, instructors, shelter workers, rescue groups, veterinarians, vet techs, breeders, service dog trainers, AAI/AAT and anyone interested in understanding and enhancing the dog/human relationship.

Webinar – 3/2/21 – When the Evidence Wags Its Tail – NACA/Justice Clearinghouse

Virtual

NACA/Justice Clearinghouse Presents: There comes a time in every investigator’s career that cats and dogs are part of a case, whether centrally, as seen in situations of animal cruelty, or peripherally, as often seen in domestic violence calls. In many of these situations, you may need to document the animals’ condition without the assistance of a veterinarian or experienced humane law enforcement officer. Do you know what you are looking for, and what to put on the record? This webinar will take you through the basic logistics of documenting an animal’s condition- nose to tail- including physical and behavioral characteristics, how to make it part of the record so it holds up in court, and preserving your case when the evidence is alive.

Webinar – 3/3/21 – Successful Animal Management Program in Regional Australia: Lessons learned from a multi–agency approach – NACA/Justice Clearinghouse

Virtual

NACA/Justice Clearinghouse Presents: Building a successful animal management program from the ground up is challenging at the best of times but throw in the mix a low socio-economic area, poor trust in AMOs, limited resources, and a long history of high enforcement. Understanding the needs of a community, difficulties in an area as well as taking a multi-agency approach to a pilot animal management program has lead to amazing success for a regional Local Government in Australia. Gaining the trust of the community became the key to creating a successful working relationship.
