SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/13/22 - Door Dashing: Get a Grip on Your Escape Artist - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Does your home have an open-door policy? As in\, “The door’s open\, WATCH THE DOG!” \nAn open door can mean a lot of exciting things to a dog: A chance to be the first to greet whoever’s out there; an opportunity for an unauthorized adventure through the neighbourhood; an invitation to chase after a squirrel\, the mail carrier\, a cyclist\, or a moving car (yikes!). \nThis webinar will lay out all the possible ways you can get a proper grip on door dashing\, from training useful behaviours to implementing easy management tips. Attendees will be able to apply some of these immediately after the webinar. \nAn open door will no longer be something to worry about! You can finally rest assured that your dog (and others) will be safe\, even if the door is accidentally left open. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/13/22 - "I really don't want to get bit today”: Strategies for fractious patients with Dr. Marie Hopfensperger - ACVB (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Most patients who demonstrate aggression in the veterinary setting do so out of fear. However\, these fearful and fractious patients pose a real risk to veterinary team members. These cases can also be stressful and time-consuming. This talk will focus on practical strategies and sedation plans to enhance safety and reduce stress for all parties involved. \nMarie Hopfensperger\, DVM\, DACVB is one of four board-certified veterinary behaviorists in the state of Michigan. She is an assistant professor at Michigan State University\, where she runs the Behavioral Health & Wellness service. Her areas of clinical expertise include sedation of fearful and fractious companion animals\, behavioral pharmacology\, canine and feline aggression\, and feline inappropriate elimination. Her current research is related to shelter dogs\, specifically the assessment of their behavioral health and pharmacologic interventions to support their welfare while in the shelter\, as well as evaluation of their behavior in the adoptive home environment. Dr. Hopfensperger was the first veterinarian ever to be selected as Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Fellow. Her focus during this fellowship was on developing a trauma-informed One Welfare model of animal-assisted therapy\, such that programming is beneficial for both human and animal participants. She is a passionate advocate for veterinary student wellbeing and is humbled to have received two teaching awards in 2021. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/7236355939125286413

DESCRIPTION:Let’s grow our spay/neuter capacity together\, California! \nWe’re doubling down on our commitment to help you provide the care and services that strengthen the bonds and remove the barriers between pets in your community and the people who care for them with Sniptember\, a 30-day spay/neuter grant blitz to continue the effort to build back our surgery capacity and relieve the bottlenecks that are keeping animals in our shelters for too long. \nMunicipal animal shelters\, private animal shelters with municipal contracts\, and private shelters are eligible to respond to this RFP\, even if they already received a California for All Animals grant this year. We know you have work to do so we’ve kept the application process simple: Submit your one-page proposal\, budget\, and estimated impact statement. \nVeterinary clinics and spay/neuter organizations without a brick and mortar intake facility are encouraged to partner with animal shelters on proposals. The shelter would act as the recipient of the funding and then contract with the spay/neuter organization for services. If you need help partnering with a shelter(s) in your region\, reach out to us at grants@californiaforallanimals.com and we’ll connect you. \nThe funding priority for this grant cycle is to increase capacity for spay/neuter services for animal shelters\, which is defined as spay/neuter of animals in the shelter\, referred by field services and those at risk of ending up in the shelter\, for example pet owners experiencing homelessness\, pet owners residing in zip codes of high intake\, and priority community animals. Operational costs associated with increasing capacity should be included in the proposal. \nRFPs will be accepted from September 15 – October 15\, 2022. Applicants will be notified via email by November 15\, 2022. For more information visit California for All Animals. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.californiaforallanimals.com/grants/sniptember-spay-neuter-grants/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/17/22 - Harmonious Walks: Redefining Loose-Leash Walking - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Ask any trainer why clients reach out to them for help\, and somewhere in the top three reasons you’ll often find “walking on-leash.” Owners want to fix a common problem that occurs when they’re handling their dog on leash\, usually pulling\, or playing tug with the leash. \nIn this session\, we’ll cover how to achieve harmonious walks. Nancy will move away from focusing on the traditional heeling behavior\, and towards recognizing and meeting dogs’ needs through foundation skills and on-leash games that anyone can do. “Harmonious walks” means everyone wins: Happy dogs\, and happy clients. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn how to help your clients attain that elusive “loose-leash walking” behavior in the most enjoyable way.\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT (pending)\, IAABC (pending)\, KPA (pending) \nAbout the Presenter\nNancy Tucker is a certified trainer with the CCPDT and a fully certified behavior consultant with the IAABC. She teaches seminars\, webinars\, and workshops on dog training\, dog behavior\, and the business end of training throughout Canada\, the US\, and Europe. She has presented at conferences for the Pet Professional Guild\, the IAABC\, the Dog Event in France\, the WOOF! conference in the UK\, and The Lemonade Conference. \nShe teaches online courses focusing on various topics including how to resolve separation anxiety\, how to use desensitization and counterconditioning to address fearful behaviors\, and how to tackle other common behavior issues. \nNancy has written numerous articles on dog behavior and has a professional background in public relations and copywriting. She shares her home in Quebec\, Canada with her husband and their ridiculously cute border terrier\, Bennigan. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4952645

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/18/22 - Shelter PALS CA Shelter Laws: Community Cats - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:One of the most important work of shelters these days is serving local communities by engaging in life-saving\, humane—and legal—community cat programs (CCP) for outdoor-living cats. If you want to know about the issues\, and how to do CCPs right\, join us for a walk through the challenges\, particulars\, and legalities of community cats in California\, prepared by the San Francisco SPCA’s Shelter PALS (Shelter Policy and Legal Services) program. \nWhen it comes to community cats in California\, the sheltering industry is much stronger together. Standardizing CCP operations across the state will help people\, animals\, and local governments\, so that we can lift up communities who do not yet have them\, avoid problems in communities who already have CCPs\, and best position the movement to defend CCPs against any challenges. \nIn this 90-minute webinar\, attendees will learn the factual and legal basics of community cats\, how to support those programs with local ordinances\, and also how to sign up your shelter for free legal support to set up or shore up the CCP in your own community. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FybtwW4QRaimLr-QGdM5Pw

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/24/22 - “I’m out of Control!” Helping the Over-Aroused Animal - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Many of the behavior issues we see in pets – including biting – can relate to over-arousal. So how do we help the over-aroused animal? Whether you are faced with reactive\, aggressive\, or fearful behavior\, addressing over-arousal can be the key to improving behavior and keeping pets in their homes. In this presentation\, Irith will give you tips for identifying over-arousal and share practical tools to help you deal with over-arousal issues in pet animals. \nThis was previously aired at Geek Week 2021 \nLearning Objectives: \n\nBetter understand arousal and its effects.\nBe able to determine when “problem” behaviors relate to over-arousal.\nLearn training games that can help pets learn to manage their arousal levels.\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT (pending)\, IAABC (pending)\, KPA (pending) \nAbout the Presenter\nIrith Bloom has loved animals for as long as she can remember. She grew up with dogs\, gerbils\, and a pet snake (who was housed far from the gerbils) and was fascinated by horses. After years of (unsuccessfully) begging her parents to let her ride\, she took matters into her own hands and won a horse in an essay contest. Irith’s parents were too busy to train the animals\, so Irith became good at teaching useful (from the human point of view) skills to non-human animals. \nA self-admitted geek\, Irith has spent a great deal of time studying the science of behavior. She is fortunate enough to be invited regularly to give presentations on a variety of animal- and learning-related topics. Her writing on these topics has also been published both online and in print. \nIrith is faculty at Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior and dogbiz’s Dog Walking Academy. She is also a CPDT-KSA\, a CBCC-KA\, a CDBC\, a CSAT\, a KPA CTP\, a VSPDT\, and a CBATI\, as well as being certified in TAGteach\, a positive-reinforcement method for teaching humans. \nIrith is a member of the board of directors of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT)\, on the advisory board for Daily Paws\, chair emeritus of the Education Committee of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT)\, and a former member of the APDT Legislative Task Force. She also volunteers for National English Shepherd Rescue. \nIrith has a BA in biology from the University of Pennsylvania and lives in Los Angeles\, California. Her company\, The Sophisticated Dog\, LLC\, offers online training and behavior services to clients worldwide as well as limited in-person services for clients in her local area. Irith also offers consulting services for fellow pet professionals. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4987027
