SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/2/20 - Stressed Out:  Dogs\, Hormones and Stress - Jessica Hekman\, DVM\, PhD - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Anxiety is a major problem for many pet dogs. What happens in your dog’s brain and body when something scares her? How long can you expect her stress response to last? \nIn this webinar\, Jessica Hekman\, DVM\, PhD\, will talk about the stress response in dogs. She will explain the original evolutionary purpose of the stress response; what the hormones involved in it (like cortisol) do in the body; the difference between acute and chronic stress and the different effects they have on dogs’ health; and what we know about how long it takes the body to clear those hormones. You will definitely learn some cool stuff about how the brain works and what that means for your stressed-out dog! \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe how the stress response functions and what its purpose is.\nDescribe health effects (both positive and negative!) for acute versus chronic stress.\nExplain how the stress response affects the dog’s brain and their ability to think clearly and behave normally.\nDescribe how long it takes the stress response to clear from the body\, and list possible alternative explanations for dogs who display signs of stress longer than it takes for stress hormones to be cleared.\n\n\n\nAbout The Presenter\n \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Jessica Hekman\, DVM\, PhD\n \n\nJessica is a veterinary researcher who is fascinated by dog behavior. After eleven years working as a computer programmer\, she decided to go back to school to research the causes of behavior problems in dogs. She received her veterinary degree in 2012 from the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Massachusetts\, where she also received a Master’s degree for her work on stress behaviors in hospitalized dogs. After graduation\, she completed a year-long internship specializing in shelter medicine at the University of Florida Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program. She received her PhD in genetics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, studying a group of foxes (often known as the “Siberian silver foxes”) which have been bred over many generations to be friendly to humans. She is currently working at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard as a postdoctoral associate\, studying the genetics of behavior in pet dogs through the Darwin’s Ark project and the Working Dogs Project. Her ultimate goal is to find genetic causes of fearfulness in dogs\, to work with behaviorally challenged shelter dogs\, and to help people better understand the science behind dog behavior. She also frequently teaches online classes and webinars about canine genetics and behavior. Jessica lives in Raymond\, NH with her husband and three dogs. You can follow her on Twitter @dogzombieblog or on Facebook at facebook.com/dogzombieblog. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-3702930

SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/23/20 - The Practices of Purposeful Leadership - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:The experience of meaningfulness is a critical ingredient to thriving at work.  While animal welfare work is naturally imbued with a sense of meaning\, especially in times of crisis\, we often lose sight of it or fail to enable it.  Research finds those who work for purposeful leaders – leaders who routinely enable the experience of meaningfulness throughout their teams – are more fulfilled\, resilient\, higher performing\, and significantly less likely to burn out\, even in the most challenging times.  This session describes the science of purpose and meaning and shows how purposeful leaders compel teams and organizations toward their positive potential.  We’ll explore three evidence-based practices of purposeful leadership to empower leaders to bring the best out of their teams in a meaningful way. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\ni. Understand the science of wellbeing\, meaning\, and purpose\nii. Understand the human performance and business case upside of wellbeing\, meaning\, and purpose in the workplace\niii. An introduction to the 3 key practice domains of Purposeful Leadership\niv. An exploration of some evidence-based tools for applying Purposeful Leadership across the 3 key practice domain \nThis webinar has been pre-approved for 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://theaawa.org/events/eventdetails.aspx?id=1376322

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/1/20 - Enhancing Your Managed Intake Process - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:So you have begun to manage your intake procedures\, this may mean scheduled owner surrender hours or limited days of intake\, not it’s time to take a step back and assess how the program is working.  This session will help to guide you through a program analysis of your managed intake program and provide some suggestions for the next steps and ways that other agencies have taken a basic program and moved it to the next level! \n  \nThis is the second of a two-part series. \n\nAug 11: Getting Started with Managed Intake \nOct 1:  Enhancing Your Managed Intake Process (this webinar)\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\n\n\n\n\nPresenters:\n\n\n\nDr. Josh Fisher has an educational background in population management/medicine\, public health\, veterinary sciences\, informatics\, and healthcare administration.  He has been working in the veterinary medical/animal welfare field for over 15 years holding management roles in private practices\, cooperate practices\, the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine\, county government\, and now as the Animal Services Director for the City of Charlotte/Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. \nA strong advocate for professional development and growth in the animal welfare industry\, Josh seeks to involve staff in continued education and training opportunities as well as in cutting edge industry research.  His professional interests focus on disease reduction/prevention\, advanced marketing/placement and intake reduction tactics\, strategic planning\, and staff career development in the area of animal welfare.  His projects include increasing interest of veterinary/veterinary technician students in the animal welfare industry as well as working with community veterinarians to break down barriers\, develop relationships\, and increase involvement in community-focused animal welfare (animal control and sheltering) practices. \nIt is a passion of Josh’s to bring a level of awareness to the animal welfare industry in such a way that young adults and college students make the decision to pursue animal welfare as a profession rather than falling into it by chance. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/enhancing-your-managed-intake-process/
