CAN I BRING MY DOG?
Well-behaved dogs may attend the expo with an adult handler. All dogs MUST be current on vaccinations including Bordatella. Dogs should be on a short (no longer than 6') leash and NO FLEXI-LEASHES. For the safety of young puppies, we ask that you leave them at home.
Please note that while your dog may be incredibly well-behaved at home, bringing your dog to an environment with loud noises, large groups of people and numerous dogs, your dog may exhibit behaviors that you typically do not see. For the safety of your dog and others, our staff (at their discretion) may ask you to remove your dog from the premises.
YOU are responsible for your dog's behavior.

Sunday: Dog Talk 101: Through Your Dog's Eyes
Come to the I Love My Dog Expo at 12:45 p.m. on Sunday, March 23 and learn more about leash reactivity in this interactive discussion led by professional animal behaviorist Deb Nabb.
