Join us as we discuss important topics such as developing a ‘what to pack’ checklist, prioritizing your dog’s safety in the car, navigating plane travel, managing hotel stays, introducing your pup to new people and places, and ideas for travel-friendly enrichment activities.

Hello, Stranger: Helping Dogs Who Worry About People
Saturday, January 18, 2:00 – 4:00 PM ET

Some dogs are uncomfortable meeting new people and may be wary of those outside of their immediate human family. These dogs may react in a fearful or defensive way, such as hiding, backing away, lunging, growling, or barking. Learn how to identify early warning signs that indicate your dog is uncomfortable, utilize techniques to help your dog build confidence, and manage interactions to keep everyone safe.
Speakers: Marnie Montgomery, PMCT4, CPDT-KA; Joyful Dog and Susan Sanderson, PMCT3, KPA.

Enrichment Solutions for Behavior Challenges
Saturday, February 22, 2:00 – 4:00 PM ET

Our canine companions have unique physical, emotional, and social needs that are often not recognized or addressed in our human world.  As a result, these unmet needs can lead to behaviors associated with reactivity, destruction of household items, resource guarding, house soiling, and more. Join us to learn how you can effectively implement enrichment strategies to help manage these common issues. In doing so, you will be able to better satisfy your pup’s species-specific needs, help them make good choices, and reduce the stress for everyone.
Speakers: Kayleigh Sullivan, KPA CTP, CPDT-KA; JW Dog Training & Behavior.
