I’ll be presenting at the Pet Professional Guild Australia conference in Sydney which runs from 14-16 June.

The conference takes place at Rydges World Square in Sydney, with some practical workshops on the 14th at St. Ives Showgrounds.

My talks will be on:

  • From fearful to happy: The role of emotions in animal welfare.
  • Counterconditioning: How to get it right.
  • How to prevent and resolve common behaviour issues in cats.
  • Strategies for the human side of fearful/reactive dogs
  • Puppy and cat playtime and enrichment: why it matters.
  • Changing minds on training methods. 

There’s a great line-up of Australian and international speakers at this conference, including Dr. Robert Hewings, Barbara Buchmayer, Deb Millikan, Jari Castle, Dr. Eduardo J. Fernandez, and Alex Matsoukos.

There is a cocktail party on the Friday night and a conference dinner on the Saturday night.

As well as the conference, I am looking forward to doing some sightseeing in Sydney, including seeing the Opera House, visiting the botanical garden, and going to Bondi Beach.

Will you be at the PPG Australia conference? If so, let me know!
