Summer Lunch and Learn Series: Understanding Your Dog's Behavior

Join us on Wednesday, Aug. 20, from noon to 1 p.m. for an engaging and informative session on dog behavior with Dr. Amy Pike, Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist and Co-Owner of the Animal Behavior Wellness Center, as part of our Summer Lunch and Learn series.

Does your dog bark at the mail carrier, lunge at other dogs or hide during thunderstorms? Whether you're raising a new puppy or managing reactivity in an older dog, this session is for you.

We’ll explore key behavior principles, root causes of common behavior issues and the tools and strategies available to help.

Dr. Pike is one of fewer than 100 Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorists in the world and brings over 20 years of experience to the field. She’s passionate about preserving the human-animal bond and helping families better understand the pets they love.

This session will cover:
🐶 Puppy socialization and setting your dog up for success
🐶 Managing fear-based and reactive behavior
🐶 When behavior issues may be medical in nature
🐶 Strategies to support a stronger, more compassionate relationship with your dog
