TO OUR DOG-MINDED NEIGHBORS: We’re better together

We’re passionate about helping dog-minded members of our community enrich their relationships with their pets. The more educated we all are about canine behavior, the greater impact we make in creating a loving neighborhood for everyone. For community groups and businesses throughout Santa Barbara and surrounding areas, our free educational seminars and Learn-at-Lunch workshops represent our commitment to improving the lives of our canine friends through giving.

SEMINAR | Before You Adopt

Whether you’re adopting a puppy or an adult dog for the first time or introducing a second pet into your household, dog parenting requires responsibility, a lifetime commitment and a willingness to make the occasional compromise. We’ll help you evaluate this important decision, and set you up for success!

LEARN-AT-LUNCH TALK | Inquisitive Owner Hour: A Dog Parenting Primer

Brown-bag your lunch and spend 60 minutes of your dog-day afternoon learning expert techniques to better motivate your dog to develop good manners. This session addresses frequently asked questions by inquisitive parents about:

  • Leash-walking skills
  • Greeting people politely
  • Eliminating in appropriate places
  • Curbing incessant barking
  • Teaching appropriate times/places
    for chewing and digging

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch to the session, along with their burning questions!

Free dog training educational programs

When we learn together we:

  • Boost organizational morale
  • Share in each other’s dog parenting experiences
  • Connect interdepartmental team members

Many of us don’t have the time, money or energy to invest in enrichment outside the workplace. Our community outreach is free of charge and takes place in your offices, so it’s an easy opportunity to reinforce your values as a learning organization and enable your staff to bond over their common love of pets.

If you’re interested in having certified professional dog trainer and behavior consultant Joan Mayer make one of the following presentations to your company, organization, community group or dog club, please contact Joan today.
