Night on the Town

APDT 2025 is bringing the evening social back in a big way. Attendees will board buses from their hotels which will whisk them away to an exclusive evening as APDT takes over an entire tap room and brewery. You’ll sample branded brews and a variety of food options as we spend the first part of the evening connecting. 

​

Next, we will host intimate session with speaker, Jess Adam, who will be delivering unique content only available to Thursday night’s event, adding another valuable CEU to your collection. In her presentation, we will define what it means to be a “person centered” dog trainer and why focusing on the human side of the leash is important.  We will discuss the emotional and mental health impacts on clients living with and training a challenging dog. Define what it means to practice from a strengths-based lens. Learn how to empower dog guardians to use their inherent and environmental strengths to create more success in training. We will identify and address barriers in training progress., look at strategies for recognizing strengths and infusing them into the training process

As we wrap up the learning content, music will take over the speakers and you will have the opportunity to dance and mingle well into the night.  We’ll be there until they shut the lights off.
