This one-day seminar presented by
Jennifer Lea Reed CPDT-KA, co-owner of the Big Apple Dog School, explores the sometimes-wacky world of the French Bulldog, from deciphering their unusual play style to interpreting what’s really going on when they balk, scream and lunge. Appropriate for the first-time owner to more seasoned guardians facing the challenges of fostering, this seminar uses a combination of lectures, and live demonstrations with French Bulldogs to get to the heart of Frenchie behavior and, when necessary, effectively change it. This event is made possible by a collaboration between Club Chien, The French Bulldog Rescue Network and the French Bulldog Club of America Charitable Fund.

Sessions:

10am-11am

The Magic of Motivation – How does your Frenchie really learn? Hint: it’s not always about food.

11am-12pm

Frenchie 101 – the truth about diet, exercise, medical vs. behavioral issues, drugs, crates, boredom and basic manners.

12pm-1pm

International Diplomacy – Socialization: what it really is and how to get it – dog run behavior; multi-dog households; children.

1pm – 1:30

Working Lunch Break (ongoing Q&A session)

1:30-2:30pm

Fixing Common Problems – pulling on leash, housetraining, interaction with other dogs and children, resource guarding, destructive behaviors.

2:30-4:00pm

What’s Really Going On? – Diagnosing behavioral issues (two live, real-time behavior evaluations).

4:00-6:00pm
