Friends of Festival Country K9s work in the Iron County Area to bring awareness and educate the community how to be a responsible pet owner.
One of the things that they are promoting is a video by the name of The Dog Listener which is presented by the AKC. It is a wonderful video that tells how children should approach a new dog, what to do and not do around dogs they don't know, and more. I've included the link in this blog. Please take the time to check it out and see for yourself how to become a Dog Listener. |
