SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/13/21 - Imagination and Creativity - Dr. Robert Hewings BSc. MA. D/Prof - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Consider this; do you know a person that thinks outside the box? Has novel ideas\, achievements\, sometimes failures\, is a problem solver\, and demonstrates persistence and resilience? Are these people creative people? Could we as dog trainers assist our dogs in becoming creative in their work\, in their problem solving? \nThe objectives for this webinar will encourage the candidates to think about and address the following: \n\nHow can we avoid frustration in our training?\nHow can we empower our dogs to commence problem solving?\nHow can we ‘spice up our training’ keeping our students and their dogs wanting more?\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1.5\, CCPDT (pending)\, IAABC (pending)\, KPA (pending) \nAbout Your Presenter \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-4188568

SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/14/21 - Protecting Your Pets and Wildlife from Traps - HSUS
DESCRIPTION:Most pet owners and animal care professionals think that traps ( foot-traps/snares/body-grip/cage traps) are a danger for only a few winter months of the year for fur trapping. The reality is that in every state these devices can be legally set at any time in the name of predator control or “nuisance” wildlife control. Most pet owners would not recognize these devices\, or know how to remove their pet from them if they were caught. This workshop will start by defining the dangers that can be out there 24/7/365. We will cover what they look like; where to expect to find them and how to remove your pet or other animals that might become caught. You will learn how to minimize the chance for your communities pets to get caught. Including how to pursue public posting of trapping activity\, and how to seek Trap Free Zones where pet owners can take their companions to for safe hiking and exercise. \nThis webinar will be held on September 14th at 1:00 p.m. EDT. \nRegister for this webinar here or by clicking Learn More. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://humanepro.org/trainings/protecting-your-pets-and-wildlife-traps

SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/15/21 - 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.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/22/21 - How to Build a Year-End Social Media Plan that Gets Results - Network for Good
DESCRIPTION:The end of the year is swiftly approaching. You know what that means — giving season is almost here! So we ask the question\, is your social media year-end ready? \n\nRoughly seven-in-ten Americans use some kind of social media platform and about 30% of nonprofit website traffic comes from social media. And nearly one third (31%) of annual giving occurs in December. That’s why social media must be part of your year-end fundraising strategy. \nWith the focus often being on direct mail appeals at year-end\, where does social media fit in? How can nonprofits cut through the year-end clutter\, engage their donors\, and raise more money – all without tech overwhelm or added stress? \nIn this webinar\, digital fundraising expert Julia Campbell will show you her tried-and-true methods for creating a year-end social media plan that gets results and helps you achieve your year-end fundraising goals! \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.networkforgood.com/resource/year-end-social-media-plan/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/22/21 - Spay/Neuter: Integral to Access to Care - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to the relationship between wellness care and spay/neuter services\, in most instances the answer is AND not OR. This webinar will describe how spay/neuter outreach led to a realization that many pets are going unserved by traditional veterinary models. \nThere are still pockets of urgent need where spay/neuter is critical for lifesaving.  However even in areas where pet populations are more in balance\, we continue to need spay/neuter to maintain that balance. We will describe the categories of animals best served by the high volume high quality spay/neuter model (HQHVSN). \nFinally\, we will discuss several models to demonstrate how spay/neuter clinics provide access to veterinary care. While spay/neuter clinics should focus on what they do best for maximum efficiency\, as a wider community\, we have an obligation to support cradle-to-grave-care for all pets. Spay/neuter clinics should work within a network of providers within each community to bridge gaps and overcome barriers to care. Strategies for tackling this work and presenting it to funders will be described. \nPresenters: \n\nDr. Phil Bushby\, Professor\, Marcia Lane Endowed Chair of Humane Ethics and Animal Welfare\, Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine\nEmily McCobb\, DVM\, MS\, DACVAA\, Director\, Tufts Shelter Medicine Program & the Luke and Lily Lerner Spay Neuter Clinic at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine\, Tufts University\nAimee St. Arnaud\, Business Partner\, Open Door Veterinary Support\n\nThis session is part of the Shelter Medicine series\, a collaboration between the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement. \nThis live and recorded program is pending approved for: \n\n1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit\n1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE\n\n50 minutes of the live session / watch 50 minutes of the recording in order to receive the 1-hour credit of RACE CE. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/products/92221-spayneuter-integral-to-access-to-care
