Webinar - 11/14/20 - Dog Bites to Children: Triggers, Myths and Management - ACVB (fee applies)
2020-11-14 13:00 - 14:00 | Virtual
Sat, Nov 14, 2020 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM PST
Any dog, of any breed or background, is capable of biting, including family pets who are loved and pampered. Young children, especially, can be injured severely. Although we often hear about the statistics of reported bites to children, there is still a great deal of misunderstanding and mythology about its causes and safe management, and a persistent disconnect between the public’s understanding about dog behavior, and what dogs actually do. Understanding the behavioral basis and triggers of biting, along with humane, rational handling and training, are important steps towards helping children and dogs live together safely.

Webinar - 11/13/20 - Confronting Conflict with Teams - Banfield
2020-11-13 09:00 - 10:30 | Virtual
Friday, November 13, 2020 from 9:00am – 10:30am PT
Conflict is something that, as much as we try, we cannot avoid because conflict comes up anytime your view differs from another’s — and humans are opinionated beings. While most of us have a strong reactions to conflict, including (but not limited to) fear; avoidance; and/or dread, conflict can also have positive impacts. It can allow for exploration of new and different ways of doing things resulting in better outcomes. When we think of the negatives of conflict it’s because of the emotions that conflict evokes — often making situations feel explosive. By learning how to step up to conflict and confronting it head on by using the right approach, you can turn conflict into a positive for both you and your team.
Course Timing: 1.5 hour virtual session with 15 minute pre-work (RACE approved)

This session will help you:

Define the five modes of handling conflict; competing, collaborating, avoiding, accommodating
Help you understand how to identify the best mode for various situations to produce a positive experience
Identify where you may or may not be flexing your approach to conflict in a current team situation to determine what approach would be best to get you a positive outcome

When we step up to conflict, instead of away from it, and take the right approach we can change our perception and, ultimately, end in a better place than we are today.

Don’t touch that! How do you train a “don’t do it” concept without using aversive methods? That’s what this webinar is all about. No more grabbing up the cookies or covering them with your hand. No more frustration and confusion for your dog when something looks to be available but it’s not.
In this webinar we’ll look at when to “Take It!” (or “Get It!”) and when to “Leave It!” The concept and the verbal cues will be built through fun and simple games. Not surprisingly, clean mechanics are the key! We’ll train both cues without causing frustration or confusion. There will be simple step-by-step instructions. You can follow the steps at home in a very small space, with no special equipment. Then we’ll take the concepts outdoors into the big spaces of the real world.

Webinar - 11/12/20 - Dogs on the Move​​​​​​ - Mitigating infectious disease risk while saving lives through international dog transport - Virox
2020-11-12 11:00 - 12:00 | Virtual
Dogs on the move – Mitigating infectious disease risk while saving lives through international dog transport
During the last decade, increasing numbers of animal welfare organizations have begun working in poorly resourced areas around the globe in an effort to improve animal welfare. In areas with little capacity for local adoptions, sheltering organizations have started investigating whether international pet adoption might be a viable option to increase their live release rates. As a result, thousands of dogs and cats are being transported every year from places like Southeast Asia into adoptive homes in the US and Canada. This practice, while a life-saving mechanism for many animals, is not with inherent risks and controversy. The recent COVID pandemic has also heightened concerns regarding animal transport and disease importation. This presentation will discuss current trends in international companion animal transport, risks of importation to both animal welfare and public health, diseases of concern, and recommendations to mitigate the risk of unintentional infectious disease introduction and transmission.

Webinar - 11/11/20 - Canine Communication in the Field and Shelter - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
2020-11-11 16:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
The single most important skill for handling unfamiliar dogs safely, humanely, and successfully is the accurate observation and interpretation of canine body language. Great skills in ‘talking dog’ keep everyone safe and ensures that you can work efficiently when trying to get a dog to cooperate. In this webinar, Trish and Di will use pictures and videos to ‘develop your eye’ for canine body language so you can increase your understanding of what dogs are telling you.
You will learn:

Basic canine communication concepts, starting by looking at body parts, then at postures and movements.
The importance of context, arousal, and the influence of your own behaviour during interactions in the field
Basic and more complex canine body language

This is part of a two-part series:

Navigating the Housing Crisis Webinar hosted by Shelterluv and the Humane Society of the United States
Affordable housing shortages already existed for renters in every state in the country before the pandemic. Now tens of millions of renters are estimated to be at risk of eviction in the coming months due to exacerbated economic challenges from COVID 19.

The Shelterluv team will be on hand for customers to share how to track your programs in Shelterluv.
This session will be held on Wednesday, November 11th from 1pm-2pm (EST) / 10am-11am (PST).
