Dog Listener at Wallingford Public Library

Wallingford Public Library presents Understanding Your Best Friend, a talk led by Phil Klein, certified dog listener, on Saturday, May 16 at 10:00 a.m.

Phil will present a kind methodology for gaining your dog’s cooperation based on its instincts. Find out how canines see the world and the underlying reasons for unwanted behaviors like hyperactivity, destructive chewing, incessant barking, toileting in the house, jumping on people, pestering for attention, separation anxiety, pulling on the leash, etc. Learn the four main areas of canine communication including the leadership signals that will eliminate or minimize these behaviors and turn your dog into a relaxed, joyful companion. Phil will share the simple, dog-friendly changes to make when interacting with your dog to transform its behaviour in a kind and lasting way, resulting in a calmer, happier dog and a more enjoyable relationship.

Bring your questions, not your dog.

This program is cosponsored by Wallingford Dog Lovers Association who will give a special introduction to the Bert & Harry Subkowski Bark Park at the start of the program. Advance registration is appreciated. You may contact the library at 203-265-6754 or wallingfordlibrary.org.
