Build confidence and improve your dog’s behavior in fun, positive ways.

  • Gain skills that will help you channel your dog’s energy productively.

  • Identify your dog’s unique strengths and talents through expert-assessed activities.

  • Get actionable, take-home advice that can enhance your dog’s health and quality of life.

Schedule:
1 p.m. – Sports Demo with Ann: Discover what’s possible with Formal Obedience, Rally-O, and get a sneak peek into Ann’s Bravery classes.

  • Games with Jessica: Learn games that engage high-energy dogs, build strong recalls, and discover how play can prevent and transform behaviors—from excessive barking to leash pulling.

2 p.m. – Your Dog’s Personality Test: Curious about your dog’s hidden talents? Whether they’re a natural sniffer, rock star at fetch, or you’re unsure of their strengths, Ann’s “tests” will reveal your dog’s potential through interactive stations.

3 p.m. – Body Condition Score (BCS) with Jessica: Through a hands-on BCS, Jessica will help you assess your dog’s ideal weight and condition. With over 60% of dogs overweight, this simple exam can eliminate guesswork—and may even save your dog’s life.
