Thunderstorm Phobia Lecture

Thunderstorms can be scary for not just us, but for our pets as well. Many of you may have come home on stormy days to discover with horror that your dog has destroyed the door, covered the house in drool or simply won't come out from under the bed. In this seminar you will discover the aspects of storms that your dog may be reacting to and several ways you can help your dog become less fearful of thunderstorms. The information presented will be useful for new dog or puppy owners, as well as families already experiencing this concerning behavior with their dog. Help set up your dog for success by learning what steps to take to help your dog.
Helen Nicholls, CPDT, CDBC will be presenting this seminar.
