Understanding Dog Body Language
Saturday April 13th, 2024 11:00 AM until 12:00 PM
Location: Pup Plaza
14408 Union Avenue San Jose CA 95124

Understanding Dog Body Language
Date: April 13th from 11am - 12pm
Fee: FREE!

Learn how to read your dogs' body language to better understand what they are thinking, feeling, and focusing on. This will help you predict their behavior, evaluate your training or behavior modification sessions, and bring you closer to your pup.  We will discuss why a wagging tail doesn’t always mean “happy”, and why that cute dog-and-baby moment might not be as heartwarming as you think - except when it is!

**This is a lecture only event - please leave your dogs at home!**

Stacy Braslau-Schneck, the owner of Stacy’s Wag’N’Train, has been a professional dog trainer for over 25 years.  Her intense interest in behavior led her to getting a Master’s degree in “human and animal cognition”, and she continues to upkeep her education to ensure that the teaching and training methods she uses are the most effective and humane for both dogs and their people. She holds several certifications in dog training, teaching, and more from several independent evaluating agencies, and she is happy to talk about dogs, training, and behavior to everyone! You can find her services and read more about her at http://www.wagntrain.com/about-stacy/

Doga
Sunday April 14th, 2024 9:30 AM until 10:30 AM
Location: Pup Plaza
14408 Union Avenue San Jose CA 95124

Cost: $15

Your Doga instructor will guide you and your pup through a 60-minute yoga practice and provide moments throughout the class for you to bond, reward, and breathe with your dog.

You will be encouraged to share your energy with your dog and explore the natural bond that exists between you and your canine best friend. Doga will provide you an opportunity to learn from your dog how to be in the present and have fun, while our dogs may pick up the calm and focus of our practice, eventually becoming more relaxed and comfortable with sharing a space with others.

A minimum of two participants is required to hold the class.

Proceeds from activities at Pup Plaza support Silicon Valley Pet Project's (SVPP) life-saving work. SVPP is a nonprofit organization, tax ID number 47-2361690. svpetproject.org
