Pet Welfare 101 NEW!

Want to know more about what your pet is thinking, feeling, or how to best care for your pet to ensure a long and healthy life? Please join us for an in-depth exploration of the principles and practices involved in responsible pet ownership and their life-long welfare. Kent Bailey will present sessions on home grooming methods and techniques for dogs and cats. He also has invited several guest lecturers to give presentations in their areas of expertise: a canine trainer and behaviorist; a feline adoptions and home-care expert; and the Executive Director of Friends of the Animals (FOTA). He will send a recommended reading list in his pre-course email. Areas of focus include the nature of the human-animal bond, recommended healthcare procedures, survey of body language and behavior, home behavior problems, safely bringing a kitten or adult cat into your home, and animal welfare laws and adoption in Jackson County. NOTE: For those who have pet dandruff allergies, know that there may be live animals in the classroom for demonstration purposes.
