The Quirky K9

Today I took part in a fantastic workshop with on handling Dogs who show aggressive behaviours towards people.

It was a wet and rainy day but I definitely gained a lot of useful information and some good practice of interacting with aggression cases, as well as some delicious jacket potatoes for lunch!

Would absolutely recommend the workshop to those who work in the dog industry and even pet dog owners who want to up skill themselves. 10/10
