Is a yawn always just a yawn? Why does a dog shake off even when it's not wet? Why is a growl a good thing? Is a tail wag always friendly? Canine Communication expert Deb Helfrich of Gold Star Dog Training will help us understand what our canine companions are trying to tell us!

This popular, long-running dog communication and safety lecture is a multi-media extravaganza of fun where the audience also gets to test their "dog reading" skills. We'll demystify dog communication, reveal some common dog-human misunderstandings, and explore how we can all live safely and happily together.

At the end of the presentation, the audience will be asked to engage in several fun, interactive exercises to practice reading dog body language. This event is co-sponsored by the Brookfield Library.
