Hi all!

A quick announcement – I will be hosting a webinar tomorrow evening (Thursday, 3/31) through the Fenzi Dog Sports Academy about anxiety issues in dogs. Full description and registration link are below.

**Note: you DO NOT have to attend the webinar live, if it doesn’t fit with your schedule.  As long as you’re registered, a recording will be available for you to watch at your convenience.  But, you do need to make sure to register BEFORE the webinar date, as it won’t be available for purchase afterwards.**

Cost for the webinar is $19.95.  Registration link is here: FDSA webinar page

FYI – this will be a repeat of the webinar that I originally ran for FDSA in 2019, back by popular demand. 🙂 So if you watched it the first time around, no need to attend again unless you just want to!

Anxiety Disorders In Dogs: Why Do They Happen, And How Can We Help?

Thursday, March 31st – 6 pm Pacific time (9 pm Eastern)

If you’ve ever lived with an anxious dog, you know that understanding and managing this problem can be a challenge! Fortunately, there’s a lot we can do to help these pups once a diagnosis is made. There are also some concrete actions we can take BEFORE getting a dog, or after bringing home a new puppy, to help prevent anxiety problems from arising in the first place.

In this webinar, we’ll talk about the following topics:

• Deconstructing labels: what is “anxiety”, anyway? How is it different from a fear response or phobia?
• Risk factors for the development of anxiety disorders
• Clinical approach to treatment, including behavior modification and drug therapy options
