It’s a Date – Safe Dog Playgroups

Course Information:

It’s a Date – Part 1: Preparing for Safe Dog Playgroups

Play! For many dogs, it’s the cure to the behavior problems you’re spending all your time working on. It can also play a vital role in maintaining canine behavioral health. Stress, distress, fear, anxiety, jumping/mouthing, barking and more, can be reduced with social interactions. Of course, playgroups are not appropriate for all dogs, but they’re great for most. This content will be helpful for anyone involved in introducing, facilitating, and maintaining safe play, including rescues and shelters that want to begin a play program. Part one of this webinar series will focus on the value and impact of dog play, the benefits, obstacles, and solutions for shelters, setting up your play area, and safe handling of dogs.
