Webinar - 7/29/21 - The Adolescent Period of Development and Its Implications for Behavior/Dog-Owner - PPG (fee applies)
2021-07-29 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
Whilst knowledge of dog behavior during adolescence arguably exists in the public and professional domain, the period of adolescence in dogs and other companion animals is vastly understudied within the scientific community.
Adolescence is a relatively long period of development during which a juvenile becomes an adult and is marked by intense neurological and hormonal changes. Within the domestic dog, adolescence is typically considered to begin with the onset of pubertal development at around 6 months of age (puberty is thought to begin between 6-9 months in males and 6-16 months of age in females) and continues until behavioral/social maturity is reached. There is no precisely agreed age at which an individual dog can be considered behaviorally mature, but dogs aged younger than two years have the shortest memory spans and certain trait level behavioral changes still occur between 18-24 months of age in border collie dogs. Therefore, dogs aged under 2 years of age are likely to still be undergoing adolescent behavioral development.
This period of development is likely to be a particularly vulnerable time for dog-owner relationships, and for shaping the long-term behavior of the developing animal. In this session, the presenter will provide an overview of the neurological and behavioural changes that mammals undergo during adolescence, along with highlighting the potential implications.
Although the particular focus of this session will be on dogs, much of the theory and evidence behind it should be applicable across all mammalian species, and much of the background provided will be in general terms, so the session should be applicable for anyone interested simply in mammalian behavior development.

Her research interests lie in improving the evidence base for issues affecting companion animal welfare within the fields of veterinary medicine and clinical animal behavior, to better inform how we manage and treat the animals in our care. Her PhD focused on how behavior develops in juvenile guide dogs, and as such, she has a particular interest in the adolescent phase of development and what it could mean for our pets.

Webinar - 7/29/21 - Denise Fenzi - Calming Games for High Arousal - FDSA (fee applies)
2021-07-29 18:00 - 19:00 | Virtual
You love your dog’s enthusiasm for the reinforcer but you don’t love the frantic ball of fur energy that comes out in its presence. You love your dog’s drive for work but sometimes you wish she took a day off once in a while. You love to train your dog at home but when you go out, it’s as if the whole world is a trigger for high arousal.
Sound familiar?
Easily aroused dogs are awesome dogs with fantastic working capacity but sometimes we wish they could self-regulate better. Self regulation is necessary to live peacefully in our world, and if you have goals for competition, they are essential in order to perform with a clear head. Plus, it’s kinder to the dog. Who wants to exist in a state of overarousal all the time?
So what can you do? You can learn to provide appropriate outlets for that energy, and give your dog the tools they need to relax (or escalate) their arousal as appropriate. Here’s where Calming Games for High Arousal come in! We hope you’ll join Denise Fenzi for this webinar to find out about the skills and games you can play with your dog to raise and lower arousal. An essential skill for both life and sports!

Webinar - 8/2/21 - The Future of Volunteers in Sheltering, Part 3 - Adisa
2021-08-02 11:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
When the pandemic hit, many animal organizations either dramatically shifted the work of volunteers or put volunteer programs on hold altogether. With more and more people being vaccinated every day and glimmers of normal, every-day life beginning to return, what will this mean for the re-engagement of volunteers in our organizations? In this highly-interactive session, we will explore the needs and issues you—as a leader of volunteers—need to plan for and brainstorm strategies for re-engaging volunteers safely while reimagining the roles volunteers play in our organizations to ensure they are best positioned to help us meet our missions.
Join your colleagues from animal organizations across the country and beyond for a highly interactive, collaborative session as we explore what volunteer involvement in the animal welfare field looks like post-pandemic. The session will include:

A “state of the union” on volunteer engagement for the animal welfare sector—including what shelters experienced, where they are now in terms of reopening and having volunteers on site, the challenges still being overcome, and lessons learned.
A case study from The Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago on how they navigated the pandemic and have begun a multi-phase reopening and reintegration of volunteers.
Strategies for navigating change in your organization and tips for reimaging the future of volunteer engagement.

Please note: The majority of the session will include expert presentations and large group discussion. Towards the end of the session, we will offer breakouts on topics chosen by participants to allow for more personal networking and small-group discussions. For those not interested in breakouts (or experiencing Zoom fatigue!), you are welcome to simply listen during the breakout or leave the session at that time.
Presenters and Facilitators:
Betsy McFarland is a principal consultant for Adisa and leads Energize, a program providing training, resources and consulting in volunteerism.

Webinar - 8/3/21 - Breaking the Growth Deadlock - Network for Good
2021-08-03 10:00 - 11:00 | Virtual
Is success in the nonprofit sector a transient, hard-to-define combination of hard work, judgment and good luck? Or do all successful organizations follow similar patterns that, once understood, are predictable and repeatable?
In this webinar we’ll discuss the stages in the nonprofit lifecycle, sharing specific, inspired advice on how to drive your nonprofit forward and create more impact.
We will reveal how any organization can get to “Predictable Success” a development stage during which it is producing scalable, profitable growth. We will teach anyone, at any level, in any company to:
1. Know exactly how to get to Predictable Success
2. Build the skills to motivate, engage and align their team to take their company to Predictable Success
3. Put in place the right people, processes, and structures to keep their organization in Predictable Success

Webinar - 8/3/21 - Did They Actually Live Happily Ever After? Debunking Translocation Myths - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
2021-08-03 12:00 - 13:15 | Virtual
It’s commonly thought that removing wild animals from our backyards and neighborhoods and releasing them into seemingly suitable habitat miles away is a humane approach for solving conflicts with wildlife. But is it actually? This webinar will delve into what truly happens to wild animals after they’re trapped and moved out of the home ranges they are familiar with and into unknown habitat. We will also discuss strategies that offer sound alternatives to capture and removal.
