What's Rover Thinking? Berlin Library Program Will Help Folks Figure That Out

The Berlin-Peck Memorial Library Monday, April 1, is hosting a local dog expert to discuss canine behavior and how folks can manage it.

BERLIN, CT — If dogs could talk, then next week's program at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library would be unnecessary.

But they can't and that's why dog lovers are invited to the library at 234 Kensington Road on Monday, April 1, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

There, they will meet dog expert John Jalbert and his dog "Shadow" for a discussion on how people can understand and manage their dog's behavior.

"Tails of Joy," is a volunteer therapy dog organization that utilizes volunteers from Hartford, Tolland, and Windham counties.

"Whether your dog gets a bit anxious or shows more intense reactions, this event will provide simple and effective strategies for a happier and well-behaved pup," reads an event announcement.

While the program is about dogs, participants are asked to leave their canines back home.

Then they can learn from the program and utilize what they learned on their beloved furry pals.
