SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/8/21 - Reuniting & Renesting Orphaned Wildlife - HSUS
DESCRIPTION:Does your agency or organization get calls about birds and squirrels fallen out of nests\, very young raccoons seen without mom\, or fawns and baby rabbits alone in fields or backyards? Whether or not you respond to these types of calls or refer them to a wildlife rehabilitator\, this webinar will help you determine and achieve the best outcome for these animals. (Spoiler alert: many of these baby animals are probably not actually orphaned!)\n\nLearn how to know when intervention is necessary\, how to reunite dependent young with their parents whenever possible\, and how to best work with wildlife rehabilitators when reuniting is not possible.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/15/21 - Permission\, Not Permissive - Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how to be positive in your training and relationship with dogs\, and yet not end up just being run over or dragged here & there? \nIt can be really challenging to find the balance between positive and pushover. It all comes down to understanding the different between permission and being permissive. \nThis webinar tackles the confusion\, and gives you some practical solutions that are simple and effective. Dogs appreciate the clarification! And you’ll learn how to be fair and consistent without having to harden your heart\, deprive or ignore your dog. \nWe’ll cover: \n\nExplicit\, implicit or complicit?\nWhat does your dog believe?\nSetting boundaries & non-negotiables\nCompromise & criteria\nNow/not now exercises\n\nIt can be so disheartening to hear a trainer tell you\, “Oh you’re just too soft on that dog” or “Just make him do it” or “Never say NO!” Confusing\, isn’t it? It doesn’t have to be. Empathy\, compassion\, clarity and compromise should not be dirty words in dog training. \nThis webinar is going to give you the tools to find the right balance for you and your dog while strengthening the relationship. Join us – your dog will thank you! \nALL WEBINARS ARE RECORDED. A link will be sent to you 48 hours after the completion of the webinar for you to access the recording and watch at your convenience. \nIf you need CEUs for IAABC or PPAB\, instructions on how to get those CEUs will be made available during the webinar.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/19/21 - Identifying Need for Spay/Neuter Services in Massachusetts: A GIS-based Analysis - Massachusetts Animal Coalition
DESCRIPTION:About the meeting:  Please join us for a presentation about a method for assessing need for spay and neuter resources using GIS (Geographic Information Systems). \nIntroduction:  A needs assessment for spay and neuter resources in Massachusetts. \nCameron Carow will present the results of a GIS-based analysis of need for spay and neuter resources in the state of Massachusetts. This project demonstrates how GIS can be utilized to combine spatial\, socioeconomic and demographic data to identify regions with significant need for spay and neuter resources. This analysis was designed to support MAC as it reassesses the “I am Animal Friendly” License Plate Grant program.  This will help MAC members and friends understand how these findings reflect what is happening in your part of Massachusetts and it will provide us with the information that we all need in order to refine our own spay and neuter efforts. \nWEBSITE LINK:  http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=dmv5lydab&oeidk=a07ehpwnkvie7c45a14

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/22/21 - To Pee or Not to Pee: That is the Feline House Soiling Problem - ACVB
DESCRIPTION:Urine here\, urine there\, urine everywhere! Living in a home where your beloved cat eliminates outside of the litter box can be a very disheartening and frustrating experience. Unfortunately\, feline house soiling problems are the most common behavioral complaint in cats. Join us in this webinar where we will walk through the decision tree to diagnosing behavioral causes for feline house soiling\, differentiating between marking behavior and unwanted toileting behavior (previously referred to as “inappropriate elimination”)\, and discuss prevention and treatment recommendations. \nAbout the Presenter \n \nKat Pankratz\, DVM\, DACVB\, graduated with her veterinary degree from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 2014 and pursued a small animal rotating internship in New York. She completed her behavioral medicine residency program at North Carolina State University and became board certified by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists in 2018. She stayed on at NC State for her fellowship and as a clinical instructor before joining the Animal Behavior Clinic in Portland\, OR in 2019. When striving to understand inter-cat conflict and feline house soiling within her home\, Dr. Pankratz became passionate about veterinary behavior. She aspires to help others rebuild the human animal bond. She is most interested in educating others to better understand and communicate with their beloved pet. She is an adjunct professor at NC State CVM and teaches veterinary behavior to the public\, veterinary students and fellow veterinarians. For her research on the use of behavioral medication to improve the welfare of cats\, she was awarded the RK Anderson ACVB Resident Award and JFMS Resident Best Paper Award. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dacvb.org/page/webinarseries

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/22/21 - Don't dread the Strategic Plan! - Getting 2 Zero
DESCRIPTION:Does talk of strategic planning make your team’s eyes role with “here we go again”? Have you got a strategic plan that was fun to create but sits on the shelf un-read once the real world takes over again? Or do you create great strategies with fabulous intentions but a couple of months later you just can’t work out why it’s not working out\, until eventually everyone slips back into the old habits? \nTrust us\, you’re not alone. Statistically\, 60-70% of change initiatives\, especially strategic plans\, fail. Why? Because we believe that the work is in the creation of a plan\, rather than delivery of it. Because the nature of shelters and the nature of people is that when the going gets tough\, we revert to what we’re comfortable with. \nThis session is an introduction to how to ensure your strategic plan is aspirational enough AND deliverable. On how to create a vision that inspires\, how to ensure your organisation is moving forward\, how to engage your people in the plan. And the step we usually miss: how to implement it in a way that ensures it’s not just a document that sits on a shelf until the next planning session in three years. \nIf any of this resonates with your organisation\, this session is absolutely for you – and for you to invite your Board/CEO/senior managers to attend with you! \nSession presenter: Dr Jess Moore-Jones \nJess has been Executive Manager\, CEO and Senior Advisor to shelters large and small\, local and international\, government and charitable. Having worked with more than a dozen shelters to assist with culture\, structure\, strategy and operational delivery (as well as some niche passions such as human behaviour for animal welfare and professional resilience)\, Jess has seen so many ways of doing things that she is able to pull all the best ideas together\, and work out how they can be applied to each organisation’s unique challenges and opportunities. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JUSsBZGRSlmtzT32NBxi3Q
