The Psychology of Dogs

7:30PM, Wednesday, November 19, 2025

Venue: Darlington Hippodrome

Calling all dog lovers! Get ready for a tail-waggingly good evening with expert dog whisperer, Paula O’Sullivan. As a specialist canine behaviourist and advanced trainer, Paula has spent over a decade helping thousands of dogs (and their humans!) understand each other better. Paula will be joined by her canine co-host, Tarka, a black Labrador currently in agility training and soon to start competing. Through a mix of live on-stage demonstrations and recorded video footage, Paula and Tarka will spill the secrets, share some heartwarming stories, and give you a whole new perspective on the relationship between you and your dog! There will be an interactive Q&A session where you’ll get the chance to ask Paula about your own dogs and what their behaviour might mean. Whether you're a seasoned pup parent or a curious newcomer, this show promises to be fun, fascinating, and full of “pawsome” surprises!
