Event Navigation

Whether you’re traveling with your pet dog, or traveling to classes and competitions with your sport dog, the trip is more pleasant if your dog is relaxed.

Some dogs, however, really struggle to remain calm during travel. They may whine, pant, bark, pace, spin, lunge at the windows, scratch / bite at the crate door, or just appear restless or uncomfortable.

In this webinar we look at all the underlying reasons that can affect your dog’s behavior when traveling. We also discuss behavior modification and management strategies aimed at improving the journey for you and your dog.

For many dogs, these same behaviors don’t stop when the journey ends. They may exit the vehicle with so much emotion and arousal that they are unable to focus on their human. So, in this webinar we also look at strategies for producing calm behaviors when arriving and setting up at a new venue.

Key areas covered include:
• Getting in and out of the vehicle in a relaxed way.
• Traveling calmly.
• Producing calm behaviors when arriving and acclimating in new locations.
• Calm crating / stationing at new venues.
