Barking dogs workshop

Next date: Thursday, 12 November 2026 | 06:30 PM to 08:00 PM

Barking dogs? Let’s talk about it!

Is your dog barking more than you’d like? Or are you struggling with a barking dog in your neighbourhood?

Join us for an informative evening with practical advice to help understand why dogs bark, prevent unwanted behaviours and create happier, calmer dogs.

What we’ll cover:

• Why dogs bark and what their behaviour is telling us
• The escape connection – why anxious or under-stimulated dogs may be more likely to escape and how to reduce the risk
• Meeting your dog’s needs through enrichment, training and games
• Practical strategies to manage your dog’s needs and reduce barking
• Neighbourhood solutions for people experiencing excessive dog barking
