About this Event
The relationship you have with your dog equally involves two beings: you and your dog. Relationships, even with our dogs, are complicated, but we can help! We need to make sure that you both are feeling comfortable, safe, and are enjoying the relationship. Join us for a in person talk with Dr. Karen Griffin, PhD to learn five components to creating a positive relationship with your dog: body language, environment, agency and consent, positive reinforcement-based training, and expectations. In this talk, you’ll discover why these components are so integral to a positive relationship, as well as tips for how to implement them so that you’ll be on your way to having a happy you and a happy dog! This talk is FREE to attend, but tickets are limited so reserve yours today!
This event is also a fundraiser forThe Dog Rehoming Project (www.thedogrehomingproject.org), which is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bridge the gap between research and the people who need it, to put science behind dog sheltering and dog rehoming. Donations can be made through the organization's website in advance (www.thedogrehomingproject.org/donate), or in person at the event. (10% of bar sales during the event will also be donated to The Dog Rehoming Project.)
