Talks targeted to dog owners

Through a series of talks the Humane Society of Truckee Tahoe aims to give the community information on animal welfare topics, from learning red alert animal behaviors to look for at the park to the latest in animal welfare policy.

The series will be at the animal shelter, 10961 Stevens Lane in Truckee.

Next up is Sue Sternberg on April 29 from 5:30 to 7:30pm. Sternberg has more than 35 years of dog behavior experience, and will provide a presentation on dog play and aggressive behaviors so pet owners can keep an eye on a group of dogs playing in the park or in the woods to prevent fun from turning into a fight. Cost is $25.

On May 20 from 5:30-6:30pm, Kevin O’Neill, vice president of state affairs for the ASPCA, will speak about the legislative process, current animal welfare issues pending in Sacramento, and themes in animal welfare policy. There is no cost to attend.
