ROCKPORT — Kerry Nichols, author of the USA Today bestseller “Puppy Brain: How Our Dogs Learn, Think, and Love” will make a stop on Cape Ann during her book tour.
Nichols’ practices have inspired local resident Beth Delforge to be a better dog-mom, which is why she organized Nichols’ visit to Rockport.
The event will be 5-7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13, at Rockport Art Association & Museum, 12 Main St. Delforge noted that advance reservations are required. Tickets are $30, which includes a reservation and a copy of the hardbound book. The event is presented in partnership with Susie’s Stories bookstore at 51 Bearskin Neck.
“Her work in early canine neurodevelopment has made her a leading voice in shaping emotionally resilient, behaviorally sound puppies, starting from day one. She empowers people to rethink the way we train our puppies and dogs,” according to a news statement. “Delforge is enthusiastic for others to learn more about puppy and dog development. Even though her research begins with golden retriever puppies, its potential reaches all kinds of dogs at any age.”
Attendees are invited to join in the question-and-answer session after the talk with Nichols and Kristin Koval, a retired lawyer and author of the bestseller “Penitence,” in addition to a book signing and refreshments.
To reserve a spot, email Delforge at beth.delforge@comcast.net. The deadline is Sept. 10.
