Dog Body Language
This is a must do workshop for
anyone who lives with a dog!
Having a great relationship with our dogs starts with great
communication, and that’s not a one-way street.
Learn how to effectively read your dog’s body language so you know what they are saying. Understanding what your dog is trying to communicate to you helps to increase the relationship with your dog. This workshop will also teach you how to avoid fearful and aggressive behavior, which frequently results when humans mis-read their
dog’s intentions.
$25 per family
Currently Offered via ZOOM

New Puppy Workshop - ZOOM
In this a 90-minute workshop, we will take you on the whirlwind tour of new puppy ownership. It's so much easier to prevent problems rather than dealing with them once they're bad habits. We'll talk about house training, feeding habits, play behaviors, and so much more. This discussion is available as both in person or remotely, via Zoom. No puppies in this session please.
P.S. - This is also great for any new dog owner, young or old.
Instructor: Christine Michaud
Available Dates:
Every other Saturday satrting January 6th
