Description

In this workshop, participants will learn safe canine handling techniques and practice defensive handling procedures. Participants will discuss risky situations and how to respond appropriately to decrease the chance of handler and dog injury. Attendees will practice using a long line; creating a harness using a slip lead; keeping yourself safe if a dog begins to get aggressive; how to involve a novice handler or passer-by to turn a dangerous situation into a safer one; and how to break-up a dog fight. During this session, participants will be in small groups and engage in a significant amount of hands-on practice with stuffed dogs. All materials needed for the workshop will be provided for the duration of the session.
