Reading Your Animal with Melissa Elischer
A last chance education credit - June 30th at 7pm
Picture
Have you ever wanted to know what your animal is thinking?  We can’t communicate with animals the same way we do with people, but we can certainly learn to understand them by observing their body language.  Learn about what things to look for to know if your animal is relaxed or stressed and how you can best work with your animal.
Please register through Events Management, using the link below, and then you will receive the Zoom webinar link in your email on Tuesday, June 30th.
