SUN MORNING SESSION NOV 29 - 9 AM TO 12:30 PMMADDENING TO MATURITY: Guiding Your Adolescent Dog to Adulthood
Despite all our frustration and endless jokes, here’s the truth: Teenage dogs are biological marvels. Did you know that under that sometimes goofy or maddening behavior is a brain busy producing more neurons? That adolescent brain is going through some amazing changes. With respect for the biological reality and with support, we can help guide our teenage dogs through the remarkable growth period that shapes the adult dog they will become.
Do you wonder where your once wonderful puppy went? And why haveve they turned into a sometimes maddening, unpredictable, maybe even out of control adolescent?
Relax — you’re not alone. More than a few puppy class stars have gone on to be champion buttheads as teenagers!
For many dog owners, their dog's adolescence can be problematic. Even with a great start in puppyhood, many dogs hit adolescence and become frustrating, unruly, and simply maddening in some ways. While puzzling to many owners, this is a natural but poorly understood stage of development.
Whether you are raising your first teenage dog or have ridden this rollercoaster before, first time owner or a seasoned pro, this workshop provides a deeper understanding of this amazing phase of canine development.
You will walk away with practical advice on helping any teenage dog grow into a wonderful adult dog. The kind of adult dog that makes people say, “Oh, I wish I had a dog just like that!” while you smile and wonder if they knew him as a teenager.
SAT Nov 29 AFTERNOON SESSION 1:30 - 5 pm
I've Got Your Back: Helping Your Anxious, Shy or Reactive Dog
Do you wish you and your dog could just enjoy life instead of worrying about strangers, barking, lunging, wanting to run away, or even acting aggressively? Above all, would you like to know why does your dog act like this, and how to help?
There is a confusing assortment of dog training advice out there. Use lots of treats. Don’t use treats. Don’t let them get away with it. Let them grow out of it. How do you know what to try? How do you know if it’s working?
This workshop will provide practical advice to help you help your dog.
Helping your fearful, anxious, shy or reactive dog is not just about teaching obedience or doling out a lot of cheese.
This workshop – like everything Suzanne teaches – will help you strengthen your relationship, build trust and help your dog (and you!) gain new confidence. Practical tips help you make the meaningful changes that support your dog and help shape the right size world, one that is comfortable and free from distress or overwhelm.
It may be your own dog that needs help. Maybe you work with shelter dogs or rescues who need support? Or perhaps you are a professional looking for new ideas on helping your clients and their dogs. Whatever your experience, join us and find out why Suzanne’s seminars are popular, prlactical and deeply grounded in almost 50 years of experience.
These are dog-free events! Please leave your dogs home so we can really focus on learning how to help them.
