Is a yawn always just a yawn? Why do dogs shake off even when not wet? Is a growl a good thing? This popular dog communication and safety lecture is a multi-media of fun where the audience gets to test their "dog reading" skills. We’ll demystify dog communication, reveal some common dog-human misunderstandings, and explore how we can all live happily together.
Note:
This is for humans only- dog owners or not.
Workshop is suitable for ages 14 and older.
Pre-registration is required, price is per person.
