Topic: Dog Training: Why It Isn't Necessarily All About Training. Join Pamela Natale, Certified Family Dog Mediator, and fellow dog enthusiasts for a dog discussion meet up. This free public dog chat is for dog guardians and those thinking about adding a dog to their family. Pamela will give an overview of positive reinforcement training, how it works, when to use it, and when to go beyond training to address unwanted behavior. She will explain what it means to take a lifestyle approach to dog training. During the dog discussion, Pamela will provide real life scenarios and solutions for issues such as walking on a leash, polite greetings, and sharing our homes with these incredible animals. Pamela welcomes questions from participants. Come learn something new and laugh with us!
