SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/3/21 - Confronting Conflict with Teams - Banfield
DESCRIPTION:Conflict is something that\, as much as we try\, we cannot avoid because conflict is comes up anytime your view differs from another’s — and humans are opinionated beings. While most of us have a strong reactions to conflict\, including (but not limited to) fear; avoidance; and/or dread\, conflict can also have positive impacts. It can allow for exploration of new and different ways of doing things resulting in better outcomes. When we think of the negatives of conflict it’s because of the emotions that conflict evokes — often making situations feel explosive. By learning how to step up to conflict and confronting it head on by using the right approach\, you can turn conflict into a positive for both you and your team. \nDate: February 3\nTime:  9:00 – 10:30am PST\nCourse Timing: 1.5 hour virtual session with 15 minute pre-work (RACE approved) \nThis session will help you: \n\nDefine the five modes of handling conflict; competing\, collaborating\, avoiding\, accommodating\nHelp you understand how to identify the best mode for various situations to produce a positive experience\nIdentify where you may or may not be flexing your approach to conflict in a current team situation to determine what approach would be best to get you a positive outcome\n\nWhen we step up to conflict\, instead of away from it\, and take the right approach we can change our perception and\, ultimately\, end in a better place than we are today. \nJoin us for the conversation! \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://app.jobvite.com/TalentNetwork/action/campaign/w/Nzc3MzA

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/3/21 - Lobbying 101 - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Participants will leave this session understanding the nuts and bolts of lobbying—from writing legislative memos to building relationships with legislators\, the Executive Chamber\, and their respective staffs. We’ll delve into what nonprofits can and can’t do in terms of lobbying and advocacy. The webinar will also include a short role-play. \nThis is part 2 of 3 in the Effective Legislative Advocacy webinar series. This series will provide animal welfare professionals with actionable ideas to increase capacity to help animals through public policy. Public policy is a critical way to influence and impact animal welfare in the long term at local\, state\, and federal levels.

Allergic skin diseases are common problems in canine patients\, and many of the clinical presentations are similar which can make these cases frustrating. This lecture will focus on the allergic workup\, acute treatment of pruritus\, and client communication. \nHow to conquer the itchy cat \nDifferent categories of feline allergies can be difficult to differentiate from one another.  Understanding the different patterns of cutaneous lesions\, response to treatment\, and management of secondary issues is important for control.This lecture will present how to differentiate and perform a diagnostic workup for flea\, food\, and environmental allergies in cats. \nDiagnosing otitis the right way \nManaging difficult otitis externa cases in cats and dogs can be challenging\, chronic\, and frustrating. This lecture will discuss a complete approach to the diagnostic workup of otitis externa including cytology\, culture and sensitivity\, handheld otoscopy\, and video otoscopy. \nFrom ear drops to pills: how to effectively treat otitis externa and media \nChoosing appropriate ear cleansers and initial therapeutics can be imperative in defeating micro-organisms. However\, systemic therapy can also be used to help alleviate discomfort and treat infection in complicated cases. This is especially true when disease extends deeper than the external ear canal. This lecture will address how to assess the best treatment plan for every type of otitis case from a simple yeast otitis to a resistant otitis media. \nDon’t fear the smear (basics of cytology) \nCytology is one of the most important diagnostic tools in dermatology.  A quick\, inexpensive test that can be essential in diagnosing and managing various skin diseases.  This lecture will discuss what different findings of cells\, organisms and structures may indicate.  Also\, techniques for collecting and interpreting cytologies from different anatomical sites will be discussed. \n  \nDr. Clode \nHow should I perform a complete ophthalmic exam? \nHow should I manage entropion in puppies and kittens? \nHow should I manage entropion in older dogs and cats? \nWhat can I do about distichia? \nHow should I manage ectopic cilia? \nHow should I approach eyelid lacerations? \nDo I realllllyyy have to replace that prolapsed third eyelid gland? \nWhat’s going on with blepharitis in dogs? \nWhat’s going on with blepharitis in cats? \nWhat can I do for KCS\, especially when it’s non-responsive? \nHow should I recognize and manage simple corneal ulcers in dogs? \nWhat about nonhealing ulcers in dogs? \nHow should I recognize and manage complicated corneal ulcers in dogs? 2020 \nWhat about corneal ulcers in cats? \nHow should I diagnose and manage eosinophilic keratitis in cats? \nWhat is a good approach to epiphora? \nWhat can be done for tear staining? \nHow should I manage eyelid tumors in dogs? \nWhat about eyelid tumors in cats? \nWhat is Ocu-GLO and what can it be used for? \nTopical steroids or cyclosporine or NSAIDs….? \nWhy is this cornea blue? \nHow should I handle exophthalmos? \n\nRegister Now \n  \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.ivseminars.com/seminars/eyes-ears-beyond-online-course/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/15/21 - MAC 2021 Webinar Series: Compassion Fatigue in Animal Welfare - Massachusetts Animal Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Overview\nFrom Happy and Fulfilled to Sad and Angry:  How Helping Animals Can Make Your Heart Hurt \nThe nature of animal work means that we are susceptible to compassion fatigue.  This includes the moral stress that is an unavoidable part of this work.  And trauma – both personal and occupational – can play a role in how we react to stressful situations.  It helps to understand what compassion fatigue is and how it can creep into our daily work. \nWe will talk about: \n\nthe individual and his/her ability to recognize compassion fatigue and learn to mitigate or heal from it\, and\nthe systemic\, organizational stressors that affect our work and how the two can feed off of one another – or work toward creating a healthier environment.\n\nEach attendee should come out of this presentation with a better understanding of his/herself and his/her role at the shelter and in the larger animal welfare community. Specific tools will be provided for creating a plan for working toward balance and emotional health in a very difficult field.  There will be a 15-minute Q&A discussion at the end. \nNOTE:  If you would like to assess your current level of compassion fatigue beforehand you can access the Professional Quality of Life Scale’s Compassion Fatigue Self Test at http://proqol.org/ProQol_Test.html.  On the right side click on “The ProQOL 5 Self-Score (English)” and it will be scored for you.  If you speak another language there are accommodations for you\, too. \nSpeaker Information\nAnne Lindsay is the founder of MAC\, which was founded in 2000.  She was president of a canine rescue organization and learned firsthand about frontline animal welfare issues.  After 12 years at a large shelter\, she gained valuable experience behind the scenes as a part of the shelter’s management team. \nIn 2010 Anne earned her Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Lesley University and has consulted with states\, smaller communities\, and individual shelters\, helping them to form coalitions and work on board development.  She has also focused on helping organizations and individuals to address the very real issue of “compassion fatigue.” \nAnne is a past president of the board of the New England Federation of Humane Societies and is a board member of the State of Massachusetts Animal Response Team (SMART).  She received various awards from the Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association\, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Animal Control Officers Association of Massachusetts. \nAnne and her very patient and tolerant veterinarian husband David share their lives with 2 dogs\, 3 cats and 6 hens. \nWEBSITE LINK:  http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=dmv5lydab&oeidk=a07ehgskstu88fb2ea0%20

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/20/21 - An Introduction to Fear-based Behaviors Across Species: Dogs\, Horses\, Cats\, Birds - Training Matters (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:With Debbie Jacobs\, CPDT-KA\, RBT; Michelle Martiya\, equine trainer; Katenna Jones\, ScM\, ACAAB\,CCBC\, CDBC\, CPDT-KA; Emily Strong\, CDBC\, CPDT-KA\, SBA. \nFebruary 20\, 2021\, noon to 3 p.m. eastern time \nThe science of how animals learn and overcome fear-based behavior challenges such as fear of people\, discomfort with being handled\, fear of other animals\, terror in particular environments\, is the same across species. What is not the same is how trainers work with different species because of the animals’ particular needs and safety considerations for the humans working with them. \nWe have assembled an expert group to talk about how they work with scared animals in a species with which they specialize. In this online seminar\, Debbie Jacobs will talk about dogs\, Michelle Martiya about horses\, Katenna Jones about cats\, and Emily Strong about birds. These ladies will discuss the behavioral profile of the fearful animals they often see\, that is the behaviors they exhibit and their typical history. The presenters will then talk about how they work through specific behavior challenges\, highlighting what may be different about working through the situation with a dog\, horse\, cat or bird in terms of management\, safety\, reinforcement delivery\, and other aspects of the training process. \nThe intent is to take a comparative approach. What is the same and what is different about working with traumatized animals of these different species\, as well as to highlight the particular considerations with each species. In addition to giving presentations\, the presenters will be available for a Q&A session afterwards. This promises to be a very interesting and educational event with some of the best trainers in the business\, and certainly some of the best at handling fear-based behavior including aggression and reactivity. \nCEUs are available. Three from IAABC; 2.5 from CCPCT for trainers and .5 for behavior consultants. \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  http://mattersdogtraining.com/events/
