Sniff, Sip & Listen: An Herbal Dog Day Out is your chance to relax, learn, and enjoy some tail-wagging fun with your pup by your side.

The event kicks off the night before with a live webinar led by Canine Behavior Specialist Nikki Ivey, where you’ll dive into how dogs use body language to avoid conflict and communicate more effectively.

Join us the next evening at Urban Dog Bar*, Nashville’s favorite off-leash hangout, for a special book reading and signing with Canine Herbalist Rita Hogan. Rita will share highlights and insights from her new book on holistic dog care, offering practical ways to support your dog naturally from the inside out. While you sip on your favorite adult beverage and enjoy great food, your dog can play freely in the off-leash area—making this as fun for them as it is for you.

Plus, you’ll get to observe a mini dog communication session, giving you real-time insight into how dogs express themselves in social settings.

It’s the perfect mix of education, enrichment, and good old-fashioned fun—for both ends of the leash!
