Fears & Phobias

Is your dog afraid of ordinary things like vacuum cleaners or items dropped on the ground? Does your dog run for cover during thunderstorms or fireworks? Join us for a casual conversation about why dogs develop fears and phobias – from the common to the bizarre. Learn ways to help your dog get past his/her fears, and maybe how to understand your dog a little better. We’ll also learn how to recognize common signs of stress in dogs. Dog body language is subtle… and fascinating!

The workshop will be held in the shelter’s Community Education Room on Monday, January 20th, from 6:00 PM to about 7:00 PM, with a Q&A session following the presentation.

This event is for humans only, so please leave your pets at home.

The workshop is free, but monetary donations or items from the shelter’s wish list are greatly appreciated!

This workshop is sponsored by Pet Partners, a partnership between the Lake Mills Veterinary Clinic and the Humane Society of Jefferson County.
