Please join us for our Free Webinars this October! Please join us for our Free Webinars this October! 🐶 Register at YourDogsFriend.org/free-webinars! On Sat, Oct 1 at 2pm ET, behavior specialist Dr. Meaghan Ropski @friendshipbehaviorspecialists will present The Dominance Controversy. Dominance, a theory based on a flawed study of wolf pack behavior, has been applied to the relationship between humans and our domestic dogs. It describes interactions of force and submission to determine access to resources. This outdated theory can be detrimental to our dogs’ learning, our relationship with our dogs, and the safety of both us and our pets. Fortunately, though, there are alternatives – whether teaching skills, preventing behavior issues, or dealing with problems that already exist. On Sun, Oct 16 at 2pm ET, Amie Glasgow, CDBC, IAABC-ADT, CSAT, FSG-I @oscarwinningbehavior will present Advice for Adopters & Puppy Parents. Learn how to make life with your new dog easier and more fun! Come hear Amie discuss dog training and behavior and many common issues that new dog parents face. Great for new dog and puppy parents, as well as those who have lived with their dog for years. Potential adopters and foster parents are also welcome! On Sat, Oct 22 at 2pm ET, Marge Rogers, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, @rewardedbehaviorcontinues will present Learning How to Raise a Happier, More Confident Puppy. Marge has vast puppy experience, is co-founder of The Socialization Project, and co-author of "Puppy Socialization: What It Is and How to Do It." Marge has learned that to successfully train and socialize a puppy, you need to understand both puppy body language and the principles of positive training. She will discuss these concepts, as well as common puppy issues, like puppy biting, housetraining, and the right way to socialize a puppy. #FreeWebinars #DogTrainingWebinars #LetsTalkDogs #DogBehavior #DogBodyLanguage #NewPuppy #PuppyParents #YourDogsFriend #Nonprofit #RockvilleMD #JoinUsFromAnywhere #AdviceForAdopters #AdviceForPuppyParents #PuppySocialization #PuppyTips #PuppyAdvice #DogTrainingTips #DogTrainers #FosterDog #NewDog #PuppyNipping #HouseTraining #LearningAboutDogs #DogEducation #DogEducationNonprofit
