Most of us don’t realize how stress affects our dog’s behavior – contributing to even serious issues like aggression and fear. Join board certified veterinary behaviorist and certified trainer, Dr. Leslie Sinn, in a presentation about the effect of stress on health and well-being; how to identify stressors; using management and behavior modification to decrease or eliminate common stressors; and reducing stress through mental stimulation, relaxation exercises, and physical exercise. Once you reduce your dog’s stress, you’ll see how much better your dog will cope with the everyday activities that currently challenge you both.
