Event Details

Hey Kiddos!

Ever wish you could talk to dogs? Become a Doggy Detective™ and learn to observe and understand what your pup is really saying through their body language! You'll learn how to tell what a dog is feeling, when a dog wants to be pet (and when they don't), and how to stay safe and confident around all dogs. Join the fun and learn Dog Language!

 

Kindred Dog Owner, Susie Petrucci, is a certified dog trainer/behavior consultant and a Family Paws Parent Educator. She is bringing Dog Aware®,  a Family Paws program, to La Jolla. This program is designed to empower people to truly understand what their dog is feeling at any point in time. People will gain confidence around dogs and be able to respond to all different situations as well as prevent potentially unsafe ones. The presentation, Doggie Detective≠™, is geared towards children and is under the umbrella of Dog Aware®. 

 

This program is geared towards children ages 5-10 and their families who are interested in learning how to understand dog behaviors and safely interact with dogs.

 

Registration is encouraged (register once per family below).
