Surviving the Teenage Years
Tuesday, November 12, 6:00 – 7:30 PM ET (date changed from October 15)
If you have an 8-month-old dog who jumps on people, gets easily distracted, and is truly trying your patience; or a 15-month-old dog who seems to have forgotten everything she learned in puppy kindergarten, it means that your pup has entered their ‘teenage’ years. Dogs between the ages of 6 months and 2 years are considered canine adolescents, and frequently exhibit new and challenging behaviors. Learn what your adolescent dog needs during this developmental phase, and how to help them mature into adulthood with desirable habits in place, while having fun along the way!

On the Road with Your Pup

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. A little preparation makes a big difference!

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.

Simple 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 such as on-leash reactivity, fear of strangers, resource guarding, or generalized fear and anxiety. Join us to learn how you can manage these common issues using simple and easy-to-implement enrichment strategies with your dog. 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: Rachel Ash, CTC, CPDT-KA, SAPT; Pawsitive Behavior Solutions.
