Sniffer Dog Training Calgary

It can feel awkward if you’re unsure how to behave around a medical alert service dog handler and their dog. I recommend smiling at the handler and ignoring their service dog. The handler might be too busy to notice your smile, but if they do, it could make them feel welcome or even make their day. And they’ll appreciate it if you don’t distract their working dog while it's performing a life-saving task.

Not all disabilities are visible, but service animals always have essential jobs and the right to access public places where pets aren’t allowed.

Service dogs must attend to their handler to perform their jobs properly, so please avoid approaching, petting or photographing them. So, SMILE AND IGNORE.

I’m delighted for a brief interview on the benefits of scent detection canines by Global National news, but sorry that I can't share it due to Facebook's block on Canadian news.

I'm looking forward to attending "Emerging research on cognitive health in dogs" free webinar.

Extensive resources are dedicated to understanding human cognition and its effects on overall health – but what about our pets? What does cognitive decline look like in cats and dogs, and what can we do to keep their brains healthy?

Our host, Dr. Kelly Diehl, a board-certified small animal internal medicine specialist and Director of Science Communications at Morris Animal Foundation, will explore pet cognitive health with Dr. Starr Cameron and Dr. Michael Khan, two veterinarians currently researching canine and feline cognition. They will share important insights into prevention and treatment of, and common misperceptions about cognitive decline.

There will be a Q&A at the end of the webinar. To submit your questions in advance, email [email protected].
