Ms. Day loves herself some dogs. Big ones, little ones, cute ones, ugly ones: It makes no difference to her; she thinks all pups are awesome. But not all pups are awesomely behaved. Some are runners and are wild on their leashes (Ms. Day's looking at you, Oliver), some leap on the backs of leather furniture (Mr. Sandy, you've got to stop doing that!), and some jump on and bark at people (Kobe, come on now — you know Ms. Day). To combat problem behaviors like these (and perhaps some slightly misguided training techniques), there's Cesar Millan, the dog whisperer. Join Day in hearing what he has to say live and in person at Powell Symphony Hall (718 North Grand Boulevard). This master canine coach shares his wisdom (with humans only) at 2 p.m., and after three hours, we'll all be sure to leave with tips to have our pooches' tails wagging and our family members grinning from ear to ear. Tickets for the talk cost $25 to $200; call 314-534-1700 or visit www.slso.org for more information and to make a purchase.
