Tracer's Anxious Adventure

Saturday, June 12, 11:00 a.m., outside in Smith Park

Come and hear Tracer's story about overcoming anxiety as a dog. I found out as the owner of this lovely Golden Retriever that the ways to help her overcome it are the same tools we use. I hope this story helps empower others to take on their journey with anxiety and to work on themselves with a different view on anxiety.
