Tues 15th March: All sorts planned for 2016

Despite having no website to advertise our upcoming Workshop Programme, the first in the series was sold out very shortly after being posted on Facebook and a second class will have to be arranged to cope with the demand.  This (Cantonese) workshop is about home grooming your dog, and is hosted by our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre Manager, Iris. On top of her own grooming qualifications and competition successes, Iris's years of experience in extreme makeovers and dealing with difficult dogs has given her the know-how to be able to teach others, so if you are interested please let us know.  As said, the first workshop is fully booked but we can let you know when a second one has been arranged.

There will also be other popular subjects covered in this workshop series, so please watch out for announcements.

It's also time to sign up for a place in the coming year's Positive Partners dog-human training courses, even if your puppy is too young at the moment to participate.  Think ahead to ensure you won't miss out when the time is right, as numbers are kept low to ensure every dog and their human partners receive the individual attention they need.   It's also never too late for a dog to learn, so don't think that your mature adult is a lost cause and won't benefit from going back to school. All of our trainers, led by our own Education & Training Manager, Cactus, have the highest qualifications and years of experience under their belts, so you can be sure that your dog and participating family members are in safe and reliable hands.  You can choose either English or Cantonese for these classes.

As I mentioned yesterday, 2016 is lined up to be a very full year with all sorts of major plans in the pipeline, one of which is our first ever Flag Day which will take place in July.  It's not an easy process applying for these types of things, and there is a lot of competition for spaces.  We really hope our supporters, and passers-by, will prove our efforts worthwhile, because ironically the more successful we are the better chance we have of being granted future flag days.   When the time comes we will need everyone to share the information to make sure our volunteers come back with full collection boxes!
