Now, you might not even have a dog, let alone a reactive one, but hear me out before you stop reading... 😍 Although the topic of this summit is dog reactivity, what the more than 20 invited experts (and yes, yours truly being one of them) will discuss are things like: * how to build a good relationship with the animal in your care * how we can prevent or reduce unwanted behaviour by addressing emotional needs So, this summit isn't so much about how we can use *training* to prevent or reduce reactivity, but rather the foundational work that helps the animal learn resilience and how to cope living with us humans. This is an area that I've been increasingly intrigued by in the last few years, and I'm really eager to hear what the other presenters have to share on this topic. I'm familiar with about half of them and can vouch for them: they're exceedingly good at what they're doing, and they truly care about animals and their people - so I'm excited to learn from the unfamiliar names, too! The summit will take place from June 5-9th. It's free of charge, but you need to sign up to get access! :-) Hoping to *see* you there!
