THE CITY DOG
Dogs who live in the city face a unique set of circumstances. They face lots of people, other dogs and loud noises every day. The ability to exercise is limited.
To be successful a city dog needs a very sound temperament and great manners!
This workshop will explore what personality traits work best in this environment and how to work with the city dog to make life safe and successful.

Bite-O-Meter : Hands-on Aggression Workshop
Comprehensive review of body language and facial expression. A wide variety of live dogs & video show the range of dog signals, but now you evaluate the interaction. You develop the observation skills and learn to interpret what you are seeing, up close and personal-- how aggressive dogs telegraph a bite long before they growl, snarl or snap. Participants will be divided into groups and work directly with Sue. Using Assess-A-Pet's score sheets, you will read and record the subtle signals. A one-on-one critique of your scoring will be given to help you to hone your skills.
