Webinar - 12/3/20 - Preventing Separation Anxiety? Home Alone Time for Puppies and Newly Acquired Dogs - Dog-iBox (fee applies)
2020-12-03 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
It is commonly asked that dog professionals provide methods for preventing separation anxiety in puppies or newly acquired dogs. This topic has become even more prevalent as of late with so many people working from home for a long period of time. In this webinar the topic of prevention will be explored. We will discuss the validity of prevention, etiology, protocols, and general methodologies that are required for separation anxiety in dogs. If your puppy or dog is already experiencing separation anxiety, there will be take aways for you, however, if you are simply interested in learning how to optimize a dog for alone time success, we hope to see you in the webinar.

Webinar - 12/2/20 - Assessing Dog Behaviour in Shelter Settings - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
2020-12-02 16:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
Assessment processes for dogs in shelters have changed dramatically in recent years, with research findings driving a fundamental shift away from short, provocative battery-style behaviour tests to holistic, information-gathering assessment processes. This data-driven shift away from ‘poke-and-prod’ type tests has created some fantastic opportunities for animal management and sheltering professionals to improve not just their behaviour assessments, but also the level of care provided to animals, staff safety, and appropriate outcomes for the dogs themselves.
Come join Trish and Di to find out more about the research underpinning this seismic shift in procedure, and how you can move towards a more modern and holistic model for assessing dog behaviour in shelters.
You will learn:

Summary of recent research findings relevant to animal behaviour assessments in applied environments
Basic principles in canine behaviour and personality assessment
How to implement a ‘data-gathering’ continuous assessment process in your facility, using fast-track and slow-track processes. We will include some tips and tricks that we’ve learned along the way, and help you improve flow and outcome.

This is part of a two-part series:

November 11: Canine Communication in the Field and Shelter
Dec 2: Assessing Dog Behaviour in Shelter Settings (this webinar)

The Australian Institute of Animal Management (AIAM) is the national peak body representing Local Government Animal Management Officers. The AIAM Committee consists of a wide range of professionals engaged in the various aspects of animal management.
AIAM seeks to support those engaged in the business of animal management, and the function itself, by providing training and information, opportunities for networking and collaboration, and by encouraging the use of best practice policy and practices. AIAM promotes consistency of legislation, consultation in the creation of legislation and workplace processes, and healthy relationships with external stakeholders and the community. AIAM supports cross-sector collaboration and co-design of projects and initiatives.

Presenters:

Trish McMillan holds a Master of Science degree in animal behavior, and is a certified professional dog trainer, certified dog behavior consultant, and associate certified cat behavior consultant. She has been involved in the animal rescue and sheltering world since the mid-1990’s, starting out as a volunteer and working her way up to director of animal behavior. She worked for the ASPCA for nearly eight years; first as Director of Animal Behavior at their NYC shelter, then as a behaviorist on their field team, helping assess and rehabilitate dogs from cruelty cases, dogfighting and hoarding situations, then she joined the Shelter Research and Development team.
Trish currently does animal behavior consulting near Asheville, North Carolina, working with dogs, cats and horses. Her farm, Pibble Hill, is home to a happy herd of animals of five species. Trish speaks and consults nationally and internationally on animal sheltering issues, dog, cat, and horse behavior, dog aggression, and defensive handling. Her online shelter dog behavior offerings have helped students from around the world apply best practices at their respective shelters and rescues.

Dr Diana Rayment holds a PhD in Canine Behaviour and a Bachelor of Animal Science. Her primary research area is canine behaviour and assessments in applied settings, like animal shelters. She has also worked in a variety of academic and industry settings, including as a TAFE and university educator, as an applied scientist studying companion animal welfare and behaviour and working dog assessments, a dog trainer, a shelter nurse and most recently, leading the behaviour team at the Greyhound Adoption Program Victoria. Diana is now working to integrate and improve animal welfare and animal management practices in Australia through a variety of roles, including project management and staff and volunteer training at Second Chance Animal Rescue.

Weekly Call - Monday Mornings - Connect With Other Animal Shelter Professionals - Maddie's Fund
2020-11-30 08:00 - 09:00
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelter workers, volunteers and animal welfare leaders from across the country have been meeting every Monday morning at 7am PT/10am ET to discuss protocols, ideas, obstacles they’re facing and more.
NEW TIME as of 9/23/20 – 8 AM PT, 11 AM ET.
Led by Kristen Hassen-Auerbach, Director of Pima Animal Care in Tucson, AZ, these calls have provided an opportunity for people to connect that otherwise may not have even met.
“The purpose of these calls is simple – maintain connection among shelter professionals, provide support and comradery, and share science-based news and information along with emerging best practices in animal welfare,” Hassen-Auerbach says. “These calls are always lively and interesting and we’re not afraid to debate and share different perspectives from the attendees. You can take center stage and share your thoughts and ideas in front of several hundred of your colleagues or quietly drink your morning coffee and listen in.”
For many, these calls have been an invaluable resource. “When the subject of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) came to the front of all of our minds, the calls adapted and we had a space to again learn from one another,” said Emily Klehm from South Suburban Humane Society in Chicago Heights, IL. “The calls have been my go-to source for grant information, statistics and trends. I’ve also been able to identify and connect to colleagues working on the same issues in similar communities.”
Dr. Ellen Jefferson, Executive Director at Austin Pets Alive! adds, “We hear from people in the industry who have important information related to COVID, new programming and research.  This is information you can’t possibly get in your day to day work at your local shelter.”
If you’re a shelter professional, dedicated volunteer or run a rescue organization, we want you to join us! Bookmark the link below and we will see you on Monday!
Note: The calls are recorded so if you can’t make it, you can listen in later. If you haven’t already, join the Facebook group to access the link to recorded calls and to connect with others on there.

Webinar - 11/16/20 - Stress Resilience - Banfield
2020-11-16 10:00 - 11:30 | Virtual
Resiliency is the ability to adapt and bounce back when things don’t go as planned. And with stress being a part of our everyday lives, we want to provide you with tools to help you become more resilient in times of stress and uncertainty. It’s not about being faced with stress, it’s more how you react to it. Stress affects your ability to work — which can have a consequence on your overall career wellbeing— but, more importantly, stress can affect your health.
The good news is that even if you are not naturally a ‘stress resilient’ person you can learn how to be.
Date: Monday, November 16th
Time: 10:00 am – 11:30 am PT
Course Timing: 1.5 hour virtual session with 15 minute pre-work (RACE approved)

This session will help you:

Define what stress is and what it is meant to be ‘stress resilient’
Gain knowledge about the impact of stress and the benefits of being resilient
Identify where your strengths and opportunities fall in regards to stress resilience
Decide which techniques to apply to your routine of self-care to help you thrive in times of stress

It’s hard to imagine what our world would be like without stress…but, think about what you could accomplish if you had the strength to not let it dominate your life.
