SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/11/20 - Getting Started with Managed Intake - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:In any open admission facility\, one of the largest challenges faced is intake.  The unpredictability of what may be coming into your facility and how it will enter leaves many of us walking in first thing in the morning with no idea how to plan our day. Animal welfare\, just like any other business\, needs to be able to have some method of planning for what is coming so that we can ensure we have what we need to handle the situation.  We all know emergencies arise and we are all masters at flying by the seat of our pants\, but are we doing that more than we need to?  This session will discuss how some agencies have transitioned their intake model to allow for increased planning surrounding intake and thereby created an opportunity to increase the number of lives saved. \nThis is the first of a two-part series. \n\nAug 11: Getting Started with Managed Intake (this webinar)\nOct 1:  Enhancing Your Managed Intake Process\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  \nPresenters: \n\n\n\n\n\n\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\, corporate 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://justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/getting-started-with-managed-intake/

SUMMARY:Weekly Call - Monday Mornings - Connect With Other Animal Shelter Professionals - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic\, animal shelter workers\, volunteers and animal welfare leaders from across the country have been meeting every Monday morning at 7am PT/10am ET to discuss protocols\, ideas\, obstacles they’re facing and more.   \nLed by Kristen Hassen-Auerbach\, Director of Pima Animal Care in Tucson\, AZ\, these calls have provided an opportunity for people to connect that otherwise may not have even met.    \n“The purpose of these calls is simple – maintain connection among shelter professionals\, provide support and comradery\, and share science-based news and information along with emerging best practices in animal welfare\,” Hassen-Auerbach says. “These calls are always lively and interesting and we’re not afraid to debate and share different perspectives from the attendees. You can take center stage and share your thoughts and ideas in front of several hundred of your colleagues or quietly drink your morning coffee and listen in.”  \nFor many\, these calls have been an invaluable resource. “When the subject of DEI (Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion) came to the front of all of our minds\, the calls adapted and we had a space to again learn from one another\,” said Emily Klehm from South Suburban Humane Society in Chicago Heights\, IL. “The calls have been my go-to source for grant information\, statistics and trends. I’ve also been able to identify and connect to colleagues working on the same issues in similar communities.”  \nDr. Ellen Jefferson\, Executive Director at Austin Pets Alive! adds\, “We hear from people in the industry who have important information related to COVID\, new programming and research.  This is information you can’t possibly get in your day to day work at your local shelter.”  \nIf you’re a shelter professional\, dedicated volunteer or run a rescue organization\, we want you to join us! Bookmark this link and we will see you on Monday! \nNote: The calls are recorded so if you can’t make it\, you can listen in later. If you haven’t already\, join the Facebook group to access the link to recorded calls and to connect with others on there.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/6/20 - Anatomy of Attention: When the VAN ran over DAN\, and other tales with Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:In the dog training community\, a great deal of effort goes into teaching dogs “attention.” But what does that mean? Staring into the handler’s eyes? Moving in an abnormal position gazing at a toy? Ignoring all distractions? Maintaining focus? Working for hours on end? Be willing to eat all the chicken and cheese we dole out? Is a dog’s attention span based on his age\, sex\, or breed? \nHowever we may define it\, here’s the reality: We can get frustrated and confused when a dog doesn’t (can’t?) focus\, or won’t give us his attention no matter how much we know or how good our timing may be. We’re smart trainers\, so we know it’s not dominance or being stubborn or blowing us off but sometimes\, we’re left scratching our own heads and asking\, “What’s really going on in that dog’s head?” \nLet’s take a deep dive into Attention\, which is an awfully big\, vague label for many complex interactions and networks in the mammalian brain. At any given moment\, a dog’s brain (like yours!) is juggling: \n\ndifferent types of attention\nalertness and arousal\nsensory sensitivities and deficits\ninternal and external factors\nfocus and distractions\nindividual attention span\n\nUnderstanding what’s at work in that canine brain (and your own\, and your clients!) helps you make good choices for the dogs in our hands. \nWe’ll look at: \n\nthe 4 main functions of conscious attention\ncognitive resources\nexpending a limited commodity\nhow expectations and salience affect attention\nwhat captures attention?\ntemperament and sensory awareness\nto Carnegie Hall and beyond (the value of practice)\n\nWhen you are clear what factors may be at work with any individual dog\, it becomes easier to select appropriate techniques\, use thinner slices\, shift your expectations or simply help the handler see what the dog is saying and doing. \nCEUs pending for IAABC and PPAB. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1439731719991392012?source=IAABC

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/3/20 - Building Resilience and Assessing Risk in Animal Training - Natural Encounters (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Building Resilience and Assessing Risk – Hollie Colahan (Birmingham Zoo) \nAs much as we may want to\, we cannot protect our animals from all the things that will frighten or frustrate them. What we can do is help them build resilience and develop the coping and problem-solving skills to navigate life’s challenges. Resilience building has been used for many years in some aspects of animal care but not considered enough in other areas. The process can present risks\, and we will discuss ways to assess and mitigate these risks as well as getting the caretaker team on board with them. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://naturalencounters.com/sign-up-for-tec-talk/

SUMMARY:Weekly Call - Monday Mornings - Connect With Other Animal Shelter Professionals - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic\, animal shelter workers\, volunteers and animal welfare leaders from across the country have been meeting every Monday morning at 7am PT/10am ET to discuss protocols\, ideas\, obstacles they’re facing and more.   \nLed by Kristen Hassen-Auerbach\, Director of Pima Animal Care in Tucson\, AZ\, these calls have provided an opportunity for people to connect that otherwise may not have even met.    \n“The purpose of these calls is simple – maintain connection among shelter professionals\, provide support and comradery\, and share science-based news and information along with emerging best practices in animal welfare\,” Hassen-Auerbach says. “These calls are always lively and interesting and we’re not afraid to debate and share different perspectives from the attendees. You can take center stage and share your thoughts and ideas in front of several hundred of your colleagues or quietly drink your morning coffee and listen in.”  \nFor many\, these calls have been an invaluable resource. “When the subject of DEI (Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion) came to the front of all of our minds\, the calls adapted and we had a space to again learn from one another\,” said Emily Klehm from South Suburban Humane Society in Chicago Heights\, IL. “The calls have been my go-to source for grant information\, statistics and trends. I’ve also been able to identify and connect to colleagues working on the same issues in similar communities.”  \nDr. Ellen Jefferson\, Executive Director at Austin Pets Alive! adds\, “We hear from people in the industry who have important information related to COVID\, new programming and research.  This is information you can’t possibly get in your day to day work at your local shelter.”  \nIf you’re a shelter professional\, dedicated volunteer or run a rescue organization\, we want you to join us! Bookmark this link and we will see you on Monday! \nNote: The calls are recorded so if you can’t make it\, you can listen in later. If you haven’t already\, join the Facebook group to access the link to recorded calls and to connect with others on there.
