SPECIAL EVENT: 2nd Annual “Reindeer” Games for Dogs

ABOUT THE EVENT:

The holidays are coming and you may be feeling the stress of all the details that need your attention. Take time from your busy schedule for a unique training and bonding experience with your dog. “Reindeer” Games for Dogs will have you laughing, possibly crying, and definitely enjoying a fun afternoon with like-minded people in a huge, enclosed barn reserved for this event.

Join us for a fun and unique adventure with Laura Gendron of Miss Behavior Training. Participants will engage in holiday themed and focused training games inside April Woods Stable in Dover, NH. Please note that this barn is not heated but is enclosed.

During our 2nd Annual Reindeer Games for Dogs, you will see how playful learning can benefit your relationship with your dog as well as how engaging in training tasks do not have to feel like so much work with fun games like Christmas Egg Hunt, Christmas Spoons Relay, Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree, and Christmas Clean Up. In addition, you will have a chance to work with your dog in a controlled environment with distractions.

Prizes, treats, warm drinks, and other surprises for dogs and their people at this year’s event.
