Every year, countless people find themselves facing an off-leash dog with little to no idea what to do. Whether you're a dog owner, runner, hiker, cyclist, parent, delivery driver, or simply someone who enjoys being outdoors, knowing how to respond in these situations can make all the difference.
Most people assume they'll know what to do during a dog attack—until they're actually in one. This workshop gives you the opportunity to learn and practice these skills in a controlled environment before you ever need them in the real world.
Join us for this unique, hands-on educational event designed to give you practical skills and confidence before you ever need them.
During this two-hour workshop, you'll learn:
• How to recognize canine body language and identify warning signs before a situation escalates
• What to do when an unfamiliar dog approaches you or your dog
• Safe techniques for interrupting and breaking up dog fights
• How to respond if a dog attacks a person
• How to remain calm and make effective decisions when adrenaline is high
• Proper pepper spray deployment and hands-on practice so you're prepared under pressure
• Experience the pressure and power of a canine bite through controlled demonstrations with Paul Anthony's Champion Demo Dogs
This event focuses on prevention, preparation, and practical skills—not fear. Our goal is to help participants better understand canine behavior and leave with the knowledge and confidence to safely navigate difficult situations involving dogs.
