®Pawprints People & Pets Education Series -
Sit, Stay, Listen (M) *registration opened April 16th
Is your dog becoming a teenager? Are you
overwhelmed? More education is always a good idea.
The Citizen Canine Seminar aims to shed light on
many of the issues that surround the raising of a
proper Canine Citizen. We will cover stress signals,
use of a tether, environmental clues, barking,
attention seeking, problem avoidance, power of play
and one of the biggest issues, leash reactivity. If your
dog is vocal or lunges out towards other dogs or
stimuli such as bikes and roller blades, this will give
you some insight.
Presented by Gillian Ridgeway, you will be
entertained and educated about staying on track with
your canine pal. She is well known for her tell-it-like-it-
is style and has been a key note speaker at Trainer &
Veterinary Conventions across Ontario. Her
experience is second to none.
