CSL:
Canine Second Language
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010
7pm – 9pm
This seminar was designed and is presented by Nicole Johnston CPDT-KA. This two-hour seminar covers information on communicating with dogs. By understanding what the dogs are saying to us, and communicating back to them we can reduce stress levels in humans as well as in the dogs, and in turn lower the number of dog bites. The interactive seminar will cover how to read the body language using still pictures, video coverage and real life dogs. It will also cover how to help the dogs feel more comfortable when they show signs of fear, shyness and even aggression.
CSL: Canine Second Language would benefit anyone working with dogs. The seminar has been approved by AAAHT for CE credit.
Early registration fees are $25.00 per person until March 25, 2010 and $30.00 per person after that.
