Workshop: Dogs in our Community
Thursday 12th December at 5.30pm at Western Community Centre
Dog Minds NZ is coming to the Western Community Centre to talk about dogs and how we can help them and everyone else around us live happier together. This free workshop is all about understanding how dogs work and what they need from us.
We will be talking about how dogs behave and communicate, how to read dog body language better, how to interact with dogs in a more positive way, how to keep safe around strange dogs and in general, how to help dogs live a better life in this busy modern world.
