Shelter Learniverse and Industry-Wide Calendar

Life of Riley at Spring Point Presents: Using real-life examples, presenters will explore ways in which individuals, communities, and groups have made transformative contributions (often unknowingly) to the success of animal advocacy through the framework of social justice.  This webinar is intended to bring awareness and appreciation to the many forms of hidden contributions that contribute to victories in animal advocacy.

PPG Presents (fee applies): This webinar will discuss when and why dogs living together in a home might fight. Once management is in place, then what? How can we teach dogs to move away from conflict rather than into it? We will look beyond the basics to what skills and games can help dogs learn to move away.

The AAWA Presents: Is your DEI work burning you out? Come explore strategies for building an endurance mindset to DEI and try out tools to develop the stamina to continue progressing—even when you feel like you’ve hit the wall.

Dog iBox Presents: This webinar will tease out some of the subtle nuances of these emotions and, even more importantly, expand on how we can use that information to guide our management and behavior modification (and medication!) interventions to improve their specificity and effectiveness. 

NACA/Justice Clearinghouse Presents: Given the expansiveness of tribal law and the uniqueness of each tribal nation, this webinar will highlight some common themes different tribal cultures share that are specific to animals; the struggles that occur in advocating for tribal nations’ needs and the needs of animals who live on reservations; and the challenges that exist with the imposition of mainstream culture onto tribal cultures.

VETGirl Presents: In this complimentary, 1-hour VETgirl–Elanco webinar, Dr. Brian DiGangi, MS, DABVP (Canine & Feline Practice, Shelter Medicine Practice) will explore current recommendations and new tools for managing canine parvovirus in shelter environments.

The AAWA Presents: This session will reduce the fear of the unknown and instill confidence in testifying by explaining what is expected of an expert witness and outline things one should and should not do on the stand.  Veterinarians often are especially reluctant to become involved with cruelty cases because of the fear of testifying in what they consider a potential adversarial situation and may feel they must make the entire case or speak in absolutes.
