SUMMARY:CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters - 6/29/21 - Tom Kremer on RTO-Focused Data Analysis - CASCAR - UC Davis KSMP
DESCRIPTION:Some of you probably already saw Tom Kremer’s article in Frontiers journal\, “A New Web-Based Tool for RTO-Focused Animal Shelter Data Analysis.” This Tuesday\, June 29\, Tom will show us how the team at Dallas Animal Services was able to use this tool to document where dogs were coming from in the community and how far from home they were found\, providing robust support for the idea that most stray dogs are best served by efforts to reunite them with their families in the neighborhood of origin\, ideally by helping finders to bypass a trip to the shelter for person and pet. Tom will give us some of the key insights from the study and answer questions about how this online tool can be adapted for use by any shelter. \nThis might be a good one to invite your field officers to join\, and also maybe the data geeks on your team. Hope you can join us\, this should be fun! \nCASCAR room link: https://sheltermedicine.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJQtdO-srDItyMz7xy-ZsncbcFa6s8kKZg

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/1/21 - Building Programs Based on Intake Data - Texas Unites (fee applies)

A good Governing Board is your way to freedom and a life.  I promise because it happened to me. \nCome learn how to give up the reins and ride your non-profit into a successful future. \nPresenter \nBonnie Hill\, Founder and Advisor\, Spay Neuter Network \nConnect to this webinar on Your Conference Connection Page.  *Password required*\nPassword is provided with registration confirmation. \n***** \nLike this topic?  Register Today! \nYour $49 registration fee provides access to all webinars May 19 through July 1. \nAll sessions are CE approved through DSHS and AAWA with selected sessions approved through TBVME. \nRegistration will remain open throughout the Virtual Learning Series.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/5/21 - Canine Welfare: How Do We Measure It and What Can We Learn Using These Measures in the Animal Shelter? - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Considerable efforts have been made to improve the outcomes for dogs arriving to animal shelters\, resulting in substantial increases in the number of dogs adopted and returned to their owners as well as reductions in euthanasia. Over this time\, the role of the animal shelter has changed as well\, from one of temporary holding to longer lengths of stay as animals with more complex behavioral and medical needs are placed. Thus\, we must also evolve the care that we provide to these dogs to adequately meet their welfare needs. \nThis session will discuss how we can best assess welfare and promising measures found across the scientific literature that can help us better understand dogs’ experiences in the shelter. With these measures in mind\, the presenter will describe recent research investigating the effects of housing and social interaction on shelter dog welfare. By identifying meaningful welfare measures\, interventions intended to improve the lives of shelter-living dogs can be tested and\, when impactful\, implemented in animal shelters. \n\nIdentify stressors in the shelter environment that may compromise canine welfare.\nDescribe the difficulties inherent in measuring welfare.\nExplain the different physiological\, cognitive\, behavioral\, and health measures that can be used to measure canine welfare in the shelter.\nSummarize how housing and interactions with other dogs may affect shelter dog welfare.\nDevelop a plan about how you could measure the welfare of dogs in your animal shelter.\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT (pending)\, IAABC (pending)\, KPA (pending) \nAbout Your Presenter \n\nLisa Gunter Ph.D MA CBCC-KA is the Maddie’s Fund Research Fellow at Arizona State University in the Department of Psychology and conducts her research in the Canine Science Collaboratory. She currently leads the Maddie’s Fund Nationwide Fostering Study. The goal of Dr. Gunter’s research is to better the lives of dogs and\, to this aim\, she has investigated the breed labeling of shelter dogs\, their breed heritage\, post-adoption interventions focused on owner retention\, various types of fostering\, enrichment\, and behavioral indicators of welfare for kenneled dogs. She has published her research in scientific journals\, presented her findings at numerous conferences\, and received national and international media attention for her work. \nPrior to her graduate school\, she worked as a behavior consultant and trainer in San Francisco where she taught group classes and consulted with owners experiencing issues of fear\, anxiety\, and aggression with their dogs. Her interest in canine behavior began in 2002 as an animal shelter volunteer\, training dogs in basic skills and assisting in shelter dog playgroups. That interest grew into a career where she managed the behavior programs of several shelters throughout the West. During graduate school\, Dr. Gunter co-founded Wagfield Academy\, an online dog training and behavior resource for owners\, and the Institute for Shelter Dogs with Dr. Erica Feuerbacher\, where they combine the latest in shelter research with the current best practices in workshops and consultations for staff and volunteers. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4361915

SUMMARY:Online Course - 7/7/21 - ACO Seminar Series - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Community Engagement: The Lifesaving Philosophy\n9-10:30am (PST): Register for this course here.\nThe term “community engagement” gets thrown around a lot\, as if it is  something that an officer can do if they have a few extra minutes.  To  unlock the full potential of community engagement\, however\, we must  start thinking of it as less of a project and more of a state of mind.  This lifesaving philosophy will not only help save the lives of animals  but could potentially save an officer’s life as well.  In this course  you will learn how embracing community engagement as a mindset can\, and  will\, increase lifesaving efforts and officer safety. \nAdvanced Return to Owner in the Field: Beyond the Scanner\n11am-12:30pm (PST): Register for this course here.\nAnimal control officers are playing a much larger role today in the  reduction of shelter intake by choosing to identify and return stray dogs to their families without bringing them into the shelter\, but all  too often officers stop looking for an owner was they find that the animal has no ID tags or microchip. This workshop highlights successful  efforts from agencies across the country that have shown to  significantly increase the field RTO rate for those animals without  obvious identification. \nCommunity Cats: Mitigating Feline Nuisance\n11:00am-12:30pm (PST): Register for this course here.\nThis session will cover how to respond to residents who don’t want  community cats\, also known as feral\, stray or free-roaming cats\, on  their property. We’ll discuss strategic placement of deterrents\,  de-escalation techniques and information sharing regarding the long-term  effectiveness of managing populations of community cats after  sterilization. \nCE Units will be provided by Best Friends after viewing each session. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.calanimals.org/education-and-training

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/8/21 - Building and Maintaining a Productive High Volume Foster Program That Serves the Animals YOU Need Help With - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Foster programs are a necessity in any animal shelter or rescue but creating and maintaining one that provides consistent positive output can be a challenge.  Foster homes reduce in-shelter population\, reduce stress on staff and animals\, and provide much needed real-life information about adoptable animals.  The challenge is creating a foster base that will consistently help with the animals your shelter needs help with; the medically challenged and/or behaviorally challenged population. What you will learn: \n\nHow to break down your foster program and rebuild it for success\nThe benefits of opening your foster program up to include all adoptable animals in your shelter and why that variety will help you sustain your program\nHow to streamline communication with foster parents\n\nOther Webinars in this Series Include: \n\nDec 10: Recruiting the Next Generation to Your Agency\nApril 8: Staycations and Daycations – Building Short Term Foster Programs\nJuly 8: Building and Maintaining a Productive\, High Volume Fostering Program\nJuly 22: The Care\, Nurturing and Enrichment of Tame & Feral Volunteers\n\nOr click here to view and register for other upcoming NACA  webinars on the JCH Platform. \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\nPresenters: \nAmy Yeager has been with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control for 16 years and currently serves as the Foster/Rescue Coordinator.  She manages a high volume\, year-round foster program as well as works with local rescue partners to transport animals in and transport animals out.   During her career\, she has also served as a Kennel Attendant\, Field Enforcement Officer\, and Customer Service Representative so she brings a wealth of working knowledge to the Foster/Rescue programs.  Amy has experience in completely breaking down and rebuilding foster programs to better fit the a \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/building-and-maintaining-a-productive-high-volume-foster-program-that-serves-the-animals-you-need-help-with/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/12/21 - Can Being a Little More Human Make a Difference? - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:In order to make small yet fundamental changes to our dog training we must\, at times\, be prepared to change some of our plans and our techniques. For this webinar I would like you to open you mind\, and remember something that Admiral Grace Hooper once said\, “The most damaging phrase in the language is … ‘It’s always been done this way.’” \nWhy not be a little more human with your dog training? \nThe objectives for this webinar will encourage the candidates to think about and address the following: \n\nHow can we create the ‘ideal’ learning environment?\nHow can our attitude affect our training?\nWould Humanistic learning theories work with dogs?\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1.5\, CCPDT (pending)\, IAABC (pending)\, KPA (pending) \n\nAbout Your Presenter \n \nDr. Robert Hewings \nAuthor of the award winning ’Scent Training for every dog’ (First Stone Publishers) and head of learning and development for the UK College of Scent Detection\, Dr Robert Hewings is a highly experienced Canine Trainer. \nRob retired from London’s Metropolitan Police after 30 years’ exemplary service\, 25 of which was as an operational police dog handler. The final nine years as a full-time police instructor with the world-famous Metropolitan Police Dog Training Establishment. He has successfully underpinned his valuable operational experience with the highest academic qualifications\, his Doctoral study is entitled ‘Is there a better way? Can humanistic education improve operant conditioning in canine scent detection training?’ \nDuring his time at the prestigious Metropolitan Police Dog Training Establishment (2007-2016) Rob headed the training for SWAT dogs\, and was active in the instruction and development in all aspects of Police Search Dog Training. He played an active role in the instruction and development of the ‘Canine Training Instructor’ authoring two training manuals\, and designing coaching programmes that have enhanced the effective performance of operational dog handlers. \nAfter his retirement in 2016 Rob\, took on new challenges to complete his desire to learn\, lecturing at university (BSc Canine Behaviour and Training) where he specialised in ‘Assistance Dog Training’\, writing his book\, and practical assistance dog training using scent-work within epilepsy alert\, diabetes alert and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder alert. He also attended Bergin University of Canine Studies where he gained a valuable insight into assistance dog training\, particularly for PTSD sufferers. \nRob is now head of learning and development with the UK College of Scent Detection where he has been invited to share his knowledge world-wide\, lecturing in USA\, Australia and Europe. He is presently engaged in writing two academic papers for enhancing scent detection within the assistance dog community and emotional learning in our dogs. \nHowever\, prior to joining the Police Service Rob was a member of the British Army\, and as a veteran himself\, he has now combined his dog training and academic knowledge becoming a training advisor and consultant for the UK Charity Bravehound (www.Bravehound.co.uk). Here he has pioneered an assistance dog training methodology to incorporate scent alerts for PTSD. Realising the potential of ‘Scent Alert’ for PTSD assistance dogs\, where the dog will alert to the onset of a nightmare\, or day time anxiety attack. Rob is coaching a Phd student who is writing her thesis supporting and researching Robs hypothesis that dogs can detect these disturbing events\, giving our veterans life changing assistance from the dogs. \nFinally\, Rob truly understands the importance of a positive training schedule with the dogs he trains and the people he coaches. He wishes to share his love and experience of search training with you and your dog. Witnessing the enjoyment\, enthusiasm and excitement the dogs get from being engaged in the natural process of ‘nose-work’ has been his guilty pleasure for the last 25 years\, long may this continue!! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4188544

SUMMARY:Webinar - Solving Problems with Raccoons - 7/13/21 - HSUS
DESCRIPTION:Our cities and communities provide near-perfect habitat for these wildlife generalists and while perspectives about raccoons will range from charming inhabitant to source of conflict\, raccoons will remain a quintessential part of urban living. This webinar will discuss the life cycle and yearly patterns of raccoons\, including mating\, raising young\, and seasonal foraging that will help better equip you to address and resolve the conflicts that people experience with them. Learn through video examples from the field about raccoon behaviors- like their incredible climbing skills and their ability to utilize buildings as denning opportunities -along with the other traits that have helped them not only adapt\, but flourish in urban areas. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://humanepro.org/trainings/solving-problems-raccoons
