Webinar - 11/10/22 - Friendly for a Reason: Expanding Shelter-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return Eligibility for Cats - Best Friends
2022-11-10 14:00 - 15:00 | Virtual
Historically, community cat programs using shelter-neuter-vaccinate-return (SNVR) and trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) have focused mostly on feral or fractious cats. But the most effective community cat programs take a more expansive approach. Listen as two cat programming experts talk about the issue of friendly community cats and their on-the-ground experience with saving more lives in different areas of the country. They’ll challenge your views on returning friendly cats with personal stories about their interactions with community members and discuss topics like safe SNVR practices and the benefits of expanding program eligibility.
This webinar is part of the Fall 2022 Webinar Series. Each webinar is pre-recorded and registering by October 12 gets you first access delivered directly to your inbox on the webinar date. Register for all five webinars or choose only the ones relevant to you.

Webinar - 11/10/22 - Train This Now! The Short List for your New Puppy - FDSA (fee applies)
2022-11-10 15:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
Five core concepts that a baby can learn. Each one offers several tangents of training that will expand your puppy’s readiness for the world.
We used to train all the things as young as possible, and puppies were often overwhelmed. Nowadays we tend to train very little while we let the relationship take shape. Our babies are learning at a phenomenal rate whether we like it or not, so it’s important to teach them some things and it’s important to choose wisely! What to train when? Which things can wait a little longer and which things are best to teach while your puppy is very young?
Each of these five lessons can be built over the next few weeks and you can build the more advanced elements over the next few months. You and your puppy will benefit immediately when you get started. Life skills and convenience, confidence, manners and learning to learn. This is a core group of compatible concepts that even a baby can master. You and your puppy will love the fun and games approach, and you’ll enjoy a lifetime benefit from starting young.

Webinar - 11/10/22 - Puking, Painful, and Puny-Looking: The Ins and Outs of Canine Pancreatitis - FDSA (fee applies)
2022-11-10 18:00 - 19:00 | Virtual
Pancreatitis is one of the most common GI problems we see in dogs – if your own dog has ever had it, it’s likely you won’t forget the experience! Unfortunately, there are also a lot of misconceptions out there regarding what we know about this disease, and what we don’t.
What’s the difference between acute and chronic pancreatitis? How do we diagnose it? Are some dogs more prone to it than others? And if it *does* happen, are there things we can do to help reduce the risk of future recurrence?
In this webinar, we’ll discuss the following:

Causes – dietary changes, genetics, other??
Clinical signs to watch for
What to expect at the vet’s office
Preventing future episodes

Take the mystery out of this sometimes puzzling medical problem, and find out how you can be better prepared to help your dog if the need arises.

Webinar - 11/15/22 - Vibrant, Vulnerable Village Dogs and What We Can Learn About Our Pets From Them - PPG (fee applies)
2022-11-15 11:00 - 12:00 | Virtual
Many dog guardians, dog behaviour experts, and dog researchers have a keen interest in village dogs (and other dogs who live at large). Some of the interest is simple: a curiosity about how these dogs live. However, some people suggest that village dogs live a life which is much improved, welfare-wise, over the life of a pet dog. In this webinar, dog trainer and anthropologist Kristi Benson will provide an introduction to village dogs (including definitions and geography). She will also review welfare-compromised and positive aspects of village dogs lives before looking at some of the lessons we can learn for pet dogs: enrichment, foraging, socializing, environmental choices, and so on. She will also comment on some of the potential pitfalls and flaws in the discussions about village dogs.
Learning Objectives:

Evaluate sources of expertise on village dogs and dog welfare
Understand the difference between seeking good consequences vs. getting relief, and why those separate motivations matter to this
topic
Identify the naturalistic fallacy in the context of discussing village dogs
Develop new ways to improve pet dog welfare based on lessons from village dogs

Kristi Benson is an honours graduate of, and now on staff at, the Academy for Dog Trainers. At the Academy, she is a student mentor and coach, and is in charge of the weekly webinars.

Webinar - 11/17/22 - No-Look Reinforcement: Keep your dog checking in, even when you've checked out - FDSA (fee applies)
2022-11-17 15:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
Does this sound familiar to you? Your dog only has eyes for you while you’re paying attention to him. His focus is impressive! But if you turn your attention away from your dog for even a moment, the connection is broken and off he goes in another direction.
Join me to learn how to maintain your dog’s attention even while YOUR focus is elsewhere. That means your dog will stay close to you and focused on you…:

When in class, and you’re busy watching and listening to the instructor.
When at the ATM machine, and you’re busy doing important banking stuff.
While you’ve stopped to chat with a friend on the street.
While walking through a crowd or past other dogs.

Webinar - 11/17/22 - "Cats Gotta Cat!: Environmental Enrichment for the Feline Patient" - ACVB (fee applies)
2022-11-17 16:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
Those of us who share our lives with cats are very aware that, behaviorally speaking, they have diverged very little from their wild ancestors. Although studies are clear that our feline companions live much safer and longer lives when kept indoors, these “house panthers” need an environment that provides them with the opportunity to express the unique, species specific behaviors they share with their larger counterparts. A home lacking these outlets results in a condition of chronic stress which can cause unwanted behaviors from, and impact the physical health of, your cat.
In this webinar, Dr. Jenny Biehunko will cover:
—How a cat’s environment affects behavioral issues such as house soiling, destructive behavior, and social conflict as well as medical problems such as skin, endocrine, and urinary disorders.
—Designing and optimizing an enriched environment for indoor cats and choosing a layout that works for each individual
—Implementing an enrichment plan and incorporating enrichment into treatment plans for both medical and behavioral issues.
And much more!
Dr. Jenny Beard Biehunko is a 1998 graduate of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. Soon after beginning small animal practice, Jenny developed a special interest in Behavioral Medicine, and she began seeing behavior cases in a private practice setting. In 2017, she began a Residency with the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists under the mentorship of Dr. Lynne Seibert. Jenny teaches courses in Ethology and Behavior at both the Auburn and Tuskegee Colleges of Veterinary Medicine. In addition to practicing small animal medicine, she owns a behavior exclusive practice in Birmingham, Alabama, where she focuses primarily on canine, feline, equine, and avian cases. She also has a passion for working with the local veterinary and shelter communities on integrating lower stress and humane handling methods into their practices.
