Hi! I'm Kathryn
I’m passionate about my project because I have found it important to know dog behavior in my everyday life. My Golden Retriever, Sadie, was attacked by a Pit Bull about three years ago. Even after her physical injuries healed, she was very anxious. In order to help Sadie cope, my family and I brought her to a behaviorist to learn more about what she was going through. I learned that it’s normal for dogs to be stressed out after a violent attack from another dog. The behaviorist taught me about dog behavior in order for me to understand how Sadie communicates through body language. By learning warning signs, a person can tell when a dog feels uncomfortable. In Sadie’s case, this helped me to ensure that she recovered from the attack well. I want to share my knowledge with kids so they feel comfortable around dogs and can look out for any signs of anxiety and stress in their furry friends.
