An evening with Winkie Spiers at our Islington club on spotting stress in your dog, understanding what’s behind it, and helping them feel calmer and more confident.
Exclusive to WagWorks members. All members’ dogs welcome.
#About the event
Our Head of Education and Training, Winkie Spiers, is bringing her talk on anxiety and stress in dogs to the Islington club.
When dogs feel anxious or stressed, their bodies kick into a fight, flight, freeze or “fiddle about” response. Spotting the signs, and understanding what’s causing them, is the first step to helping. Winkie will take you through both and share how small changes to your dog’s daily routine can make a real difference to their stress levels.
Whether your dog finds new people, loud noises or time alone difficult, or you just want to understand them better, this session will help you read what they’re telling you.
