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 - 4/15/21 - Chill out – incorporating conditioned relaxation techniques into behavioral therapy - Dr. Christopher Pachel - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Tension\, stress\, and hyperarousal are common obstacles for successful treatment of fear\, anxiety\, and aggression problems in dogs. Teaching a dog how to relax\, both physically and physiologically\, can be a helpful foundation exercise with widespread applications. This presentation will introduce a variety of ways to condition a reliable relaxation response using techniques that can be applied to many different patient temperaments and learning styles. Video examples will be provided to illustrate key points that maximize the success of this technique. Practical applications for incorporating this exercise into treatment plans for a variety of behavioral diagnoses such as noise phobia\, resource guarding\, and leash reactive behaviors will also be covered. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/market/catalog/live-webinars/live-webinars-english-c-34/chill-out-incorporating-conditioned-relaxation-techniques-into-behavioral-therapy.html

SUMMARY:Online Course - Open 4/13/21 to 5/7/21 - Responsible Antimicrobial Use 2021 - VIN (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing problem in both human and veterinary medicine. Whenever an antimicrobial is used\, it inadvertently selects for resistance by killing or inhibiting sensitive bacteria and leaving behind resistant organisms. As a result\, medicines become ineffective and infections persist\, increasing hospital times\, cost and morbidity. Inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to superbugs that are difficult or impossible to treat with our current antibiotic options. This course will discuss the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance\, the use of “best” practices to avoid the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. \nPresenters: Peter Foley\, MSc\, DVM\, DACVIM (SAIM)\nSandra McConkey\, DVM\, PhD\, Diplomate ACVP\nCourse Open: April 13-May 7\, 2021\nReal Time Sessions (RTS): Tuesdays\, April 20 and 27\, 2021; 8:00-10:00 pm ET (USA) World Clock Converter\nTotal CE Credit: 4\nRACE Category: 4 hours Medical \nLearning Objectives:\nUpon completion of the course\, the participant should be able to \n\nunderstand the importance of preventing antimicrobial resistance.\ncescribe what resistance (including multi-drug resistance) is\, how and why it occurs\, and when antimicrobial use is required.\nexplain empirical vs rational choice of antimicrobials.\nexplain how to get the most information out of an MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) result.\nidentify when and which antimicrobials are appropriate for small animal diseases\, including the following scenarios.\n\nperioperative antibiotic use\nurinary tract infections\nmiscellaneous infectious diseases\n\n\n\nLevel and Prerequisites: This basic VIN CE course is open for enrollment to veterinarians and veterinary students actively interested in antimicrobial resistance stewardship.\nAccreditation: This course is approved for 4 hours of continuing education credit by RACE for veterinarians.
