	Cheryl Smith TWO DAY SEMINAR – Canine Conflict Resolution Practical and Effective Solutions for Inappropriate Aggressive Behaviour in Canis Familaris Will include a Power point presentation with video excerpts DAY ONE: The background will cover both dog/dog and dog/human. There will be two dog/human case studies/demo in the afternoon of the first day DAY TWO: The second day will be devoted to the dog/dog. It would be necessary for the dog/dog people to be there for the two days. This is a Two-Day Workshop style Seminar with input and discussion from attendees with regards to pre-chosen problem dogs. We regret that we must limit the number of attendees. While the issues addressed will be dog-to-dog aggression or dog-to-human aggression as in the past, this workshop is not to be confused with those seminars. This is an entirely new program to address various areas of problems with our canine companions. Demonstration dogs will be chosen with that criteria in mind. PLEASE make other arrangements for your dogs and children. Only dogs chosen for demonstration will be accepted. This event is not suitable for children. Includes: Continental Breakfast, Lunch (vegetarian OR regular ONLY), refreshments, am/pm snacks, seminar notes, personalized Certificates of Attendance, pens, custom note paper, door prizes each day. FREE PARKING.
