Dog Behavior

with Nikki Ivey of DogSpeak

Does a tail wag always mean a dog is happy? Does showing teeth always mean aggression? The truth is, dogs use body language to talk to each other and to us all the time, but sometimes we humans just don’t get it. In this two hour seminar, professional dog trainer, author, canine behaviorist and owner and founder of DogSpeak, Nikki Ivey, will reveal the secrets to understanding “man’s best friend”. You will learn safe and responsible ways to interact with dogs at home or in public. Since 1996, Nikki has been working to help pet owners and professionals internationally to better understand their canine companions, promoting the healthiest possible relationship a person can have with their dog. So if you love dogs and you are looking to have a better understanding of what they’ve been saying to you, call or email us to reserve your spot for this informative seminar! Always free and open to the public! Call or email to reserve your spot!
