Want to know why your dog pinches your socks – and much more!

The UK’s largest dog welfare charity, Dogs Trust, is on a mission to bust some myths about man’s best friend and help dog owners understand their canine companions better than ever before.

The ‘Understanding Your Dog’ evening run by Dogs Trust Dog School Shropshire & Cheshire will take a look at everything from how dogs have evolved from wolves to become the number one pet in the UK to providing an insight into how our four-legged friends view the world and why they do the things they do.

Award winning Head Coach at Dogs Trust Dog School Shropshire, Rachel Rodgers, says:

“Our dogs often seem to understand us more than we understand them, so this is a fun evening helping everyone find out that bit more about what it’s like in a dog’s world.

“We will bust some myths around the need to be ‘pack leader’ and we will take a look at how a dog sees and importantly smells and hears the world, which gives a great insight into why sometimes they react in ways we don’t immediately understand and therefore don’t know how best to react to.

“We will also help people understand dog body language, including why a waggy tail doesn’t always mean a happy dog.

“Last but not least we will look at what we can do to stop them doing things that they find great fun, such as stealing socks and other personal items!

“The more we understand our dogs the more we can help them love life with us and the more great times we can have together.”

The evening seminar will take place at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury on Monday 15 April at 7.30pm.
