SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/20/20 - The Future of Volunteers in Sheltering -
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers and those who lead them are critical to the lifesaving work of animal shelters nationwide. The last few months have drastically changed how most organizations engage volunteers. As the Covid-19 pandemic spread across the country\, animal shelters quickly shifted operations\, moving animals into foster and—in most cases—asking the majority of volunteers to stay home. Many areas are now seeing increasing coronavirus infection rates as states struggle to move responsibly through various stages of re-opening. \nWhat does all this mean for the future of volunteers in sheltering? What role do volunteers play in ensuring our shelters are resilient and sustainable during these challenging times? How can volunteers help to ensure we re-emerge stronger than ever post Covid-19? Despite the difficulties ahead\, there is significant opportunity to harness volunteer energy to strengthen shelters in meeting their lifesaving missions and better serve the animals and people in our communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe invite leaders of volunteers\, shelter managers\, executive directors and others to join us for a series of robust discussions and breakout groups\, to explore questions such as: \n\nHow is volunteer engagement evolving and changing in this new COVID world?\nWhat challenges are we facing and how might we overcome them?\nWhat opportunities might we seize upon to engage volunteers in new strategic ways to reach our goals?\nHow do we ensure our shelters’ volunteer efforts are resilient and sustainable to meet the needs of the animals in our care and the communities we serve long into the future?\n\nMonday\, July 20\, 2020\n2:00pm – 4:00pm ET\, 11:00am – 12:00pm PT \nRegister for the Zoom session: \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Zoom meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators:\nBetsy McFarland\nBetsy is a collaborator and bridge-builder with a proven track record of navigating diverse viewpoints\, often in emotionally charged situations.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/22/20 - How to Build a Puppy:  Early Development 0-63 Days - Suzanne Clothier - Pet Professional Guild (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:The period from 8 to 16 weeks is often considered “early puppyhood.” In fact\, the majority of the foundation for a dog’s life is set in the first 63 days. Fuller & Scott noted that the transformation from neonate to 9 weeks old was so profound and complex that it was even more amazing that the changes from tadpole to frog. \nThis webinar focuses on the needs of developing pup\, and using appropriate stimulation to build resilience\, confidence and normal behavior. Puppies who lack the necessary input can – and often do – develop behavior issues that will not be “fixed” through socialization and training. \nDrawn from Suzanne Clothier’s Enriched Puppy Protocol\, a program that has been used to help raise more than 10\,000 guide and service dog puppies as well as her 10 generations of German Shepherds\, this webinar includes: \n·      Development stages \n·      Sensitive vs Critical periods \n·      Sensory development \n·      Fear period \n·      Physical\, mental and social changes \nSadly\, not all puppies receive the ideal upbringing. Recognizing how a poor start can create lifelong deficits\, we can also help offset and fill in the gaps to help each puppy become their best. \nThis webinar is for trainers interested in knowing how to build a healthy\, happy puppy\, for those who work with litters through rescues and shelters\, and anyone who wants to understand more completely how 63 days set the foundation for life. \n\nAbout The Presenter \n \nSuzanne Clothier \n\n\nSuzanne Clothier has been working with animals professionally since 1977.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/29/20 - Confronting Conflict with Teams - Banfield

It can allow for exploration of new and different ways of doing things resulting in better outcomes.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/29/20 - Stress Matters: Impact of Fear and Anxiety on Learning - Dog-iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:The process of learning is affected by many different factors\, including the emotional state of the individual. By reading the body language of dogs\, we can better understand their emotional state and their ability to respond to training exercises. This presentation will cover many of the body language signals that dogs are likely to show when stressed\, fearful or anxious. Perhaps even more importantly\, information will be included about how this emotional state directly impacts the process of learning and the effect on a plan or the animal’s response to specific exercises. Strategies such as making adjustments to reinforcement value\, refining aspects of the stimulus gradient during desensitization and counterconditioning exercises\, altering performance expectations\, and setting realistic criteria for success will be covered. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/market/catalog/stress-matters-impact-of-fear-and-anxiety-on-learning.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/30/20 - 8 Strategies for Creating a More Inclusive Volunteer Program -MAVA
DESCRIPTION:Many organizations struggle to engage volunteers who reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of the communities they serve. In response to this issue\, the Minnesota Association for Volunteer Administration (MAVA) recently embarked on a research study which resulted in a set of eight strategies for creating a more inclusive volunteer program within nonprofit and government organizations. These strategies serve as a starting point for leaders who are seeking concrete next steps for better engaging volunteers from communities of color. In this interactive session\, led by Lisa Joyslin\, Inclusive Volunteerism Program Manager at MAVA\, you’ll learn about the eight strategies\, share your own experiences and create an action plan for launching a more inclusive volunteer program within your own organization. The session will be moderated by Jamila Cowan-Wideman\, Director of Global Employee Empowerment at Dell\, a member of IAVE’s Global Corporate Volunteer Council (GCVC). \nAbout the Presenter – Lisa Joyslin: \nLisa Joyslin is the Inclusive Volunteerism Program Manager at the Minnesota Association for Volunteer Administration (MAVA).

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/30/20 - Working and Managing Inter-Agency Relationships: Investigating & Prosecuting Animal Abuse Cases - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Successful animal cruelty investigations and prosecutions require strong relationships between many agencies and entities. The police\, animal services\, animal rescue groups\, veterinarians\, prosecutors\, and more have a part to play in bringing these cases to the finish line. In this webinar\, Oregon’s special prosecutor for animal cruelty cases Jake Kamins will discuss his experiences\, good and bad\, in coordinating multiple agencies through taking these often-complex cases to trial and bringing these defendants to justice. \n  \nYou will learn: \n\nHow to coordinate investigations and search warrants with multiple agencies involved.\nBest practices for ensuring all discovery is collected and turned over when multiple agencies are working on a case.\nHow to ensure agencies will continue to work together harmoniously on animal cruelty cases.\n\n  \n\n \n  \nThe National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership. \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \nThe National Law Enforcement Center on Animal Abuse was established by the National Sheriffs’ Association to provide law enforcement officers information on the realities of animal abuse and to promote their proactive involvement in the enforcement of animal abuse laws in their communities. Through our partners\, the Center will serve as an information clearinghouse and forum for law enforcement on the growing problem of animal abuse and its link to other types of crimes\, including violence against humans. The Center also promotes officer safety in officer-dog encounters through continuing education and training. \n  \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenters:\n\n\n\nSince 2013\, Jake Kamins has served as Animal Cruelty Deputy District Attorney (AC-DDA) in the State of Oregon\, where he represents the State in criminal animal cruelty cases. To date\, Jake has been sworn as a Deputy District Attorney in 21 of Oregon’s 36 counties\, prosecuting over 150 individual cases of animal abuse and neglect. \nAs AC-DDA\, Jake trains and consults with law enforcement\, veterinarians\, animal rescue workers\, and attorneys on animal cruelty issues. He also communicates regularly with the media as a subject matter expert and has been involved in legislative drafting and testimony. \nJake worked as a Deputy DA at the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office from 2009-2013. He received his B.A. in 2004 from Brandeis University in Waltham\, Massachusetts\, and his J.D. in 2009 from Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland\, Oregon. At Lewis & Clark\, Jake was an Associate Editor of the Lewis & Clark Law Review and clerked at the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office. While at Multnomah County\, Jake developed a passion for working on animal cruelty cases. In 2012\, he was named one of the nation’s Top 10 Animal Defenders by the Animal Legal Defense Fund. \nJake lives in Portland\, Oregon with his wife\, his two children\, and Sophie and Scarf\, the family cats. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/working-and-managing-inter-agency-relationships-investigating-prosecuting-animal-abuse-cases/
