Losing control: How situational variables and diet can sabotage a dog's training
Saturday, May 18th at 10am – Noon

Diet can also have these effects, because it can change how dogs feel emotion and the amount of cognitive energy they have. This lecture will discuss the scientific research on this topic and give you tips for improving canine self-control.
