May: Socializing (with) your Entlebucher Join renowned expert in all things canine Dr. Gayle Watkins, AKC Breeder of Merit, founder of Avidog and creator of Savvy Socialization, who will give tips and lead a discussion on how to teach you and your Entlebucher to navigate the world together with calm confidence. The more we and our Entles can do together with enjoyment and ease, the happier we all will be. Covid hasn't done any of us any favors on the socialization front! So come along to this session to learn and discuss how we and our dogs can get out into the world, for exercise, pleasure, and strengthened bonding, while teaching or reinforcing for our dogs (and let's be honest, ourselves!) how to navigate a variety of situations including with other people and dogs.
We have two recordings:

Part I: 47 minutes |
Part II: 16 minutes |
August: Dog Sports for the Dog Days of Summer (and Beyond) Thursday, August 25, 6 PM Eastern Time Is there a sport you've always wondered about trying with your Entlebucher? Come discuss and learn with other Entlebucher owners who participate with their dogs in sports including Agility, Fly Ball, Dock Diving, Luring/Coursing, Skijoring, and more! Do you do something fun with your Entle you think we'd all love to hear about? Come tell us! We would like to compile all of the questions and comments using this email, health@nemda.org. After we receive the responses, if quite a few, we will have the presenters come back for an encore to address the questions and comments. Otherwise we will make sure that everyone will receive an answer to their response. |
September: Back to School - Dog Tricks with Louise & Samba!
Saturday, September 24, 11 AM Eastern Time
If you use Instagram, maybe you've seen Samba (@samba_entlebucher), the prettiest little Entlebucher in France, joyfully doing the most amazing of tricks together with her equally delightful human, Louise. In this session (on a French-friendly time zone), Louise and Samba will show us some of their favorite fun & games. Then Louise will take a little Q&A from all of us on how to get started following in their fancy footsteps. Louise & Samba are taking any special requests, so let us know if there’s a trick you’d particularly like them to show.
Saturday, October 22, 2 PM Eastern Time Learn from H&G co-chair and vet tech Brittani Brooks some tips and tricks for diagnosing and treating your Entlebucher at home for common injuries and issues. Brittani will also discuss what to have in your home First Aid kit, and how to tell when you should be headed to the vet. National Pet Poison Hotline: 800-548-2423 |
