Arousal & Aggression in Dogs
Saturday, June 24, 2:00 – 4:00 PM ET
Without realizing it, we enable our dog’s hyperactive lifestyle. For example, our dogs bark out the windows, fence fight, and go to dog parks. The chemicals released during arousal stay in our dog’s system for up to twenty-four hours. Then, we wonder why our dogs can’t calm down. We can learn to recognize arousal in its many forms by observing our dog’s body language, so that arousal doesn’t turn at a moment’s notice into aggression.

Stopping Unwanted Behavior
Saturday, July 8, 2:00 – 4:00 PM ET
When your dog is doing something natural to dogs but annoying to us humans, most of us yell “NO”, while others may punish their dog or use “training” collars. None of these will change behavior permanently, build trust, or give your dog information about what you DO want. Our speaker will discuss ways to stop unwanted behavior that are both more humane and effective.  Speaker: Laura Sharkey, KPA CTP; WOOFS! Dog Training Center

Understanding Thresholds: Helping Your Reactive, Fearful, Anxious, or Excited Dog
Saturday, August 19, 2:00 – 4:00 PM ET
When stressed, our dogs can enter an emotional state that makes thinking nearly impossible. Some escalate to lunging, growling, pulling, barking, or even biting, while others may appear calm, but are actually terrified to the point of paralysis. A dog “over threshold” can’t respond to your directions or calm down. However, a combination of thoughtful management and reward-based training can help your dog in the moment and build strategies and skills for the long-term. Learn how to support your dog when life gets challenging. Speaker: Sarah Stoycos, KPA CTP; Laughing Dog Academy and Marnie Montgomery, PMCT4, CPDT-KA; Joyful Dog
