Dr. Udell will be presenting on how “Research on Human & Animal Relationships can Transform a Dog's Life!” where we will take a look at psychology and bonding research that provides guidance on how you can support confidence and well-being in your dog, while also strengthening your relationship.

What makes this event stand out is the opportunity to learn alongside professionals from across disciplines, all working toward better outcomes for dogs and the people who care for them.

Early registration rates are available through May 1.
