The Bridge Club Presents:

HumaneVMA Presents: Separation-related disorder (SRD) remains one of the most common behavioral problem in the canine population, affecting up to 40% of canine patients in veterinary behavior specialty practices. They can be taxing to the human-animal bond by restricting the guardian’s ability to leave the home without their dog. This webinar will give an update on terminology and most recent research on the different types of SRDs. It will also discuss different treatment options, including medications and behavior modification. 

The AAWA Presents: Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, will have an honest discussion about ways to develop leaders, manage teams, make smart hires, and stimulate innovation. Then, connect in small breakout groups to explore how to apply Susan’s insights in your workplace—whether you’re working with introverts, extroverts, or everyone in between.
