Canine Behaviour Shelter Course Hi Guys, We are absolutely delighted to let everybody know that we are fully booked at all the shelter courses and have now visited them all, the last being Fallen Angels in the Cape where Scotty visited them last week. There is still some more work to do on this side a bit closer to the time of the courses starting and aspects such as choosing the dogs that will be worked with, putting together the profiles on them etc still needs to be done. You really have no idea at all how excited we are about starting this new adventure with all the people attending - a bit like kids on Xmas morning!
We are hard at work getting all the notes finalised as needless to say, after visiting the individual shelters we needed to make changes to suit individual needs and the notes have changed dramatically from what we had initially! Charmaine and I meet on a weekly basis and go over all that was done the week before and do the preparation and planning for the practical sessions. Initially we were going to split students into a morning and afternoon session, however after some trail runs ourselves, realise that we can get in a lot more practical experience for our students by having a larger group and have a full day practical sessions instead.
Scotty is busy working with our IT guys so that the new website that will host the courses is working 100% and yesterday we checked that all the Passwords, Log In etc are working properly. The site is really taking shape with more notes being added daily. At the same time Scotty is working getting all ready for the relaunch of the Adoption Education Page. This is going to be a page with help and advice for all those people who adopt dogs from shelters and rescue situations, or take on dogs from other people. We are making sure that this is as comprehensive as possible and needless to say are having great fun putting it all together.
We are still overwhelmed at how many dog lovers there are who want to learn more about dogs, especially those dogs in shelters and we really are so excited about sharing our passion and knowledge with them. Take care and we have some exciting things happening that we will share with you shortly, Scotty and Charmaine
