SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/29/21 - Turning Data Into Insight - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:Data is one of the essential tools that leadership\, staff\, and advocates have\, yet it often seems overwhelming and impossible to understand.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/29/21 - Your End of the Leash Part Two: Breathe! It’s good for you (and your dog!) - Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is the second in the Your End of the Leash series\, which focuses on helping handlers become the best possible partners for their dogs.  \nNo matter how smart your dog may be\, no matter how much he knows or can do\, he still depends on you as his partner.  \nWould you want a partner who was tense with gritted teeth and tight breathing? Or would you prefer a relaxed partner\, whose movements and expression showed enjoyment in working with you?  \nThis webinar focuses on the simple but oh-so complicated basic of life itself: breathing. We’ll cover:  \n\nBreathe! Why in and out is the best choice \nBreathing as communication – what you tell your dog (maybe without meaning to) \nEffects of breathing on learning & performance \nObserving breathing patterns in yourself and others \nCoaching others \n\nYou’ll learn practical techniques to help yourself (and your students) create greater awareness about breathing\, along with ways to practice here\, there and everywhere.  \nBonus: what you learn in your quest to become your dog’s best partner turns out to be helpful in the rest of your life! Breathing awareness can help you relax\, reduce tension and stress\, and understand how your breathing can affect others.  \nJOIN US!  \nALL WEBINARS ARE RECORDED. A link will be sent to you 48 hours after the completion of the webinar for you to access the recording and watch at your convenience.  \nIf you need CEUs for IAABC or PPAB\, instructions on how to get those CEUs will be made available during the webinar. CEUs for IAABC and PPAB are pending.  \nIf this is your first time using GoToWebinar do not forget to test your connection. GoToWebinar offers a test webinar so you can trouble shoot ahead of time.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/29/21 - Making the Call: Simple\, Gross Neglect or Cruelty? - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/4/21 - Avoiding Teeth and Bullets: Safely Interacting with Animals as a Law Enforcement Officer - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:From dogs and cats to wildlife and livestock\, law enforcement personnel often encounter animals on a weekly\, if not daily basis. The challenges of carrying out law enforcement duties when there is an animal component can be challenging\, stressful and dangerous. Understanding things like animal behavior and body language\, as well as various control techniques can make these instances safer and allow law enforcement to carry out the task at hand. Whether the assigned call for duty is directly related to the animal or the animal is peripheral\, understanding some basic animal handling techniques and animal behavior can be the difference between closing out a call and moving on to the next or ending up in the emergency room. \nOr click here to view and register for other upcoming NACA  webinars on the JCH Platform. \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\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n \nChris Brosan is the Chief of Humane Law Enforcement for the Department of Animal Services in Loudoun County\, Virginia. He has been with the department for eight years\, is a former police officer\, and spent two and a half years as Manager of Strategic Campaigns and Special Projects with the Humane Society of the United States. With HSUS he traveled the country training law enforcement\, in 10 states and across the islands of Puerto Rico and Vieques\, on how to investigate animal cruelty\, the connection between animal abuse and human violence\, and navigating police and canine encounters. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/avoiding-teeth-and-bullets-safely-interacting-with-animals-as-a-law-enforcement-officer/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/11/21 - Pet Friendly Domestic Violence Shelters: Creating a pet-friendly program that works for your community - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to take a deeper dive and learn how to create a program to help domestic violence survivors and their pets find safety and healing together? This webinar will focus on overcoming barriers to creating pet-friendly programs by focusing on collaboration and thoughtful program planning. We’ll discuss fundraising\, construction\, and policies and procedures for both on-site and off-site programs\, and attendees will leave with concrete next steps. This webinar is intended for domestic violence and animal shelter representatives\, veterinarians\, and anyone else interested in supporting a pet-friendly program in their community. \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  \nThis webinar was pre-approved for 1 CEU credit by the National Advocate Credentialing Program (NACP)® and the DoD Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program (D-SAACP).  Founded in 1975\, the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA) is the oldest national victim assistance organization of its type in the United States and is the recognized leader in victim advocacy\, education and credentialing.  To learn more about NOVA\, visit trynova.org. \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n \nKatie Campbell is the Outreach Manager for RedRover and has worked with nonprofits for 10-plus years. During this time she has worked with diverse communities across racial\, ethnic\, and economic lines in positions ranging from front line service to management roles.  She has worked closely with survivors of domestic violence\, as well as other individuals at risk\, and with many nonprofits serving these communities. Katie is a firm believer that more can be accomplished when organizations work together and with the community rather than in silos. \nKatie’s educational background includes an M.A. in Sociology from Sacramento State University\, which she credits with furthering her passion for listening and learning from others.  Her work at RedRover brings together two of her greatest passions: working with people and supporting the welfare of animals. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/pet-friendly-domestic-violence-shelters-creating-a-pet-friendly-program-that-works-for-your-community/
