SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/3/22 - Maddie's Insights: Emergency Fostering During the Pandemic - Takeaways for a post-pandemic world - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Maddie’s Insights are monthly webcasts with practical tips based on current research to help pets and people. \nOn March 11\, 2020\, the World Health Organization deemed the coronavirus outbreak a worldwide pandemic\, and subsequently a nationwide emergency was declared in the United States. During this time\, media outlets reported increased interest in foster caregiving and adoption of shelter pets. In this talk\, Dr. Gunter will describe her research team’s examination of canine foster caregiving at 19 US animal shelters during the first four months of the COVID-19 pandemic and what they learned about shelters’ utilization of foster caregiving\, the foster caregivers and their relationships to the shelter\, and how monetary resources influenced foster caregiving and dog outcomes. Specifically\, Dr. Gunter will discuss key takeaways for foster recruitment\, trial adoption programs\, caregiving practices\, and behavioral support that can be utilized in our post-pandemic world. \nAfter the webcast\, join us on Maddie’s Pet Forum to continue the discussion\, ask questions and exchange ideas: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastFoster \nThis webinar will be recorded and has been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association. \nRegister here: https://maddiesfund-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_g6N2KwBmSsOiXf07ht1sTQ \nPresenter\nDr. Lisa Gunter\, Assistant Professor\, Coastal Carolina University \nLisa Gunter\, PhD\, CBCC-KA is an Assistant Professor at Coastal Carolina University in the Department of Psychology. Before beginning her graduate studies\, she worked for nearly a decade with dogs in animal shelters and with pet dogs and their owners. The goal of Lisa’s research is to better the lives of companion animals and their owners. To this aim\, she has investigated the breed labeling of shelter dogs\, their breed heritage\, shelter housing and social interactions\, temporary and long-term fostering\, short-term outings\, behavioral indicators of welfare\, post-adoption interventions focused on owner retention – and more recently\, fostering during the pandemic and safety net programs to help keep people and their pets together. Under the mentorship of Clive Wynne\, Lisa earned her Master’s in 2015\, and her PhD in 2018 as a graduate student in the behavioral neuroscience and comparative psychology program at Arizona State University. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddiesfund-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_g6N2KwBmSsOiXf07ht1sTQ

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/3/22 - Learning How to Have Courageous Conversations - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Working in animal welfare is rewarding\, but it can also be emotionally taxing\, filled with endless highs and lows. Most of us are pretty good at learning the practical and professional skills needed to work in this field and deal with its challenges. Many of us\, however\, continue to struggle with incorporating those harder-to-define but equally important skills that help us acknowledge and work through our emotions in healthy ways. This session will highlight the concept of courageous conversations with the goal of providing animal welfare staff and volunteers with the tools they need to navigate an emotionally complex working environment. \nThis webinar is part of the Fall 2022 Webinar Series. Each webinar is pre-recorded and registering by October 12 gets you first access delivered directly to your inbox on the webinar date. Register for all five webinars or choose only the ones relevant to you. \nPresenter: Laura Maloney – Principal\, Adisa \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://network.bestfriends.org/education/2022-fall-webinar-series-registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/3/22 - The Elemental Questions with Suzanne Clothier - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:How the dog responds to life is highly individual\, blending temperament with personality and history — and of course\, the environment and others around him. Understanding the dog within the context of this complex blend of information helps handlers work to modify and adapt their handling and goals for enhanced relationships and better performance. \nWhatever your training goals or sport\, the Elemental Questions™ help you truly “see the dog” and provide the detailed information about each animal as he is. This is where truly humane training is grounded: in detailed knowledge about the individual dog. \nSuzanne’s simple but powerful Elemental Questions are: \n\nHello? Looks at the dog’s social interactions\nWho are you? Asks about how the dog perceives and responds to his world\nHow is this for you? Asks about the immediate situation and the dog’s mental\, physical & emotional balance\nCan you…? Looks at the dog’s physical abilities & limitations\nMay I…? Seeks ways to gain the dog’s cooperation and permission\nCan we…? Balancing the dog/handler team’s abilities and limitations against goals\n\nFor each dog\, the answers to these questions provide a wealth of information to those interested in helping that dog be all that he can be. \nNote: This webinar is back by popular demand.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/5/22 - Play Is Magic! with Trish McMillan - Shelter Behavior Hub (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Humans can sometimes come off as untrustworthy of dogs. People may lure dogs in close with a treat and then suddenly reach toward or grab them. In shelters\, people walk by\, stare at the dogs\, and then continue walking by. But dogs? Dogs don’t lie to their dog friends. If you’re out in the play yard and your new best dog friend tells you the humans are OK\, you might just believe them. And if humans approaching the front of your kennel means you’re about to go to playgroup or on a group walk\, you may start thinking humans are OK too. Learn the many ways dogs can help other dogs\, in and outside of the shelter environment. In this webinar\, you will learn about social learning\, dog play dynamics\, and how to manage playgroups in shelters. \nThese webinars are suitable for veterinary professionals\, animal trainers\, animal behaviorists\, shelter and rescue staff and volunteers\, and anyone with an interest in evidence-based behavior intervention. \nHere is the list of webinar dates\, topics\, and times: \n\nOctober 1\, 2022: Behavior Assessments for Shelter Dogs\, 11am to 12:30pm EST\nNovember 5\, 2022: Play is Magic!\, 11am to 12:30pm EST\nDecember 3\, 2022: Conversation-Based Adoptions\, 11am to 12:30pm EST\n\nThis is an online event.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/7/22 - Highly Sensitive Dogs - Dr. Maya Bräm - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:The understanding that personality influences how an individual reacts to (environmental) stimuli has markedly increased in the past years. This is reflected by the rising number of studies on this topic not only in humans\, but also in animals. As dogs live in the same social environment and in near proximity with humans\, this species is particularly suitable to study in this respect. One personality trait that has been shown to have such an influence in humans – and now also in dogs – is high sensitivity or “sensory processing sensitivity”. \nThis webinar will give an insight into this personality trait\, present the most interesting results of our research in dogs and offer some suggestions of how this knowledge might help prevent and treat (behavioural) problems and thereby increase the quality of life of dogs and their surroundings. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/highly-sensitive-dogs.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/10/22 - How to Help Puppies & Kittens that Require Confinement During Socialization - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Kittens and puppies can be put on mandatory confinement during the socialization period due to surgery\, injury or other medical issues. When these patients are confined during the socialization period\, they can experience a negative impact with socialization and can suffer from behavioral problems later in life. This program will show techniques that will keep the patient safe and mentally stimulated. \nLearning Objectives: \nAttendees will learn techniques to help keep confined animals calm – They will learn how to provide mental and physical exercise to patients that require confinements – They will also learn ways to help puppies and kittens socialize while confined. \nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 1\, IAABC 1\, KPA 1 \nAbout the Presenter \nAn internationally sought-after speaker\, Shannon has been a pet lover all her life and a dog trainer for over 20 years.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/10/22 - Friendly for a Reason: Expanding Shelter-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return Eligibility for Cats - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, community cat programs using shelter-neuter-vaccinate-return (SNVR) and trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) have focused mostly on feral or fractious cats. But the most effective community cat programs take a more expansive approach. Listen as two cat programming experts talk about the issue of friendly community cats and their on-the-ground experience with saving more lives in different areas of the country. They’ll challenge your views on returning friendly cats with personal stories about their interactions with community members and discuss topics like safe SNVR practices and the benefits of expanding program eligibility. \nThis webinar is part of the Fall 2022 Webinar Series. Each webinar is pre-recorded and registering by October 12 gets you first access delivered directly to your inbox on the webinar date. Register for all five webinars or choose only the ones relevant to you. \nPresenter: Alesha Davidson – National Shelter Embed Program Specialist\, Best Friends Animal Society \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://network.bestfriends.org/education/2022-fall-webinar-series-registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/10/22 - Train This Now! The Short List for your New Puppy - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Five core concepts that a baby can learn. Each one offers several tangents of training that will expand your puppy’s readiness for the world. \nWe used to train all the things as young as possible\, and puppies were often overwhelmed. Nowadays we tend to train very little while we let the relationship take shape. Our babies are learning at a phenomenal rate whether we like it or not\, so it’s important to teach them some things and it’s important to choose wisely! What to train when? Which things can wait a little longer and which things are best to teach while your puppy is very young? \nEach of these five lessons can be built over the next few weeks and you can build the more advanced elements over the next few months. You and your puppy will benefit immediately when you get started. Life skills and convenience\, confidence\, manners and learning to learn. This is a core group of compatible concepts that even a baby can master. You and your puppy will love the fun and games approach\, and you’ll enjoy a lifetime benefit from starting young. \nNote: This webinar is back by popular demand.
