Calgary Bylaw Services and CHS seek to promote positive pet experience

The Calgary Humane Society and City of Calgary Animal & Bylaw Services are teaming up to provide local dog owners with a rare opportunity. 

The partnership will host two free dog training sessions this weekend with certified dog trainers, sharing and demonstrating tips and techniques with Calgary dog owners and their dogs. 

"Calgary Humane Society is thankful for the opportunity to be partnering with Animal & Bylaw Services on this project to help improve the human/animal bond and increase positive interactions at dog parks and off leash areas with humane and effective training," said Barbara Walmer, Department Head of Behavior at CHS. "Proper training helps owners by giving them the techniques they need to minimize undesirable behaviours and encourage appropriate behavior." 

Walmer will be at Egerts Park on November 16 from noon to 2 p.m. and Kristy Pearson, also a certified trainer with CHS, will be at Bowmont Park on November 17 from 1-3 p.m.
