Kelley Bollen, owner of Animal Alliances, is coming to Clackamas to share two days of amazing dog behavior information. Join us to learn even more about dogs than you already know, or get a fantastic introduction, if you're new to studying them.
Topics include:

• Understanding Aggression in Dogs
• Assessing Behavior
• Reading Canine Body Language
• Safe Handling
• Recognizing and Reducing Stress
• Enrichment & Training Programs
• Behavior Mod in the Shelter

CEU's ; Seminar is approved for Continuing Education for Oregon & Washington veterinarians, vet techs, CPDT's & CBCC's (through CCPDT)

Saturday evening, we are hosting a dinner with Kelley, for a chance to continue the dog-centric conversation.

Monday's workshop is open to shelter staff and volunteers. This is a hands-on day of behavior assessments in the morning and behavior mod in the afternoon. Space is limited!

To register, simply fill out the form below. Or, go here for more info about Kelley and the seminar.
NOTE: the registration is for BOTH Oct 26 & 27 (even though it only says the 26th below).

We provide shelter, medical care, and support to dogs in need. Some of what the Center offers our community are: 

• Adoptions of amazing dogs
• Ongoing support to adopters
  

• Dog training classes
• Pet First Aid Classes
• Dog safety & bite prevention presentations
• Humane and responsible pet ownership education

We are a founding partner of the Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland, a group dedicated ending the euthanasia of social, healthy, and treatable dogs and cats in our local shelters by collaborating on spay/neuter programs, educational and outreach efforts, and the promotion of humane alternatives for feral cats.

We have a consistent save rate of 85-90%, which couldn't be done without the hard work of a lot of dedicated volunteers.

Wondering how you can help us continue to save more lives?

If you can't adopt - foster...
If you can't foster - sponsor...
If you can't sponsor - volunteer...
If you can't volunteer - donate...
If you can't donate - educate, network, and cross-post...
Everyone can do something, large or small, to help save a life...

If you shop online, do so through this Adopt a Shelter link; you pay regular prices at the stores you love, and a percentage is donated back to help the dogs!
It's easy to use (no login or password needed), it's free and every purchase helps animals…so tell every animal lover you know.
