Cats! – Not the Musical! – SAT. Oct. 5th at 1 PM – In his presentation Cats – *NOT* The Musical, Don Hanson, an associate certified cat behavior consultant (ACCBC) will discuss the natural history of the “domestic” cat. Don will explain how cats use their body to communicate their intent and emotional state. He will also address feline behaviors, including those that we do not always appreciate, such as predation, litterbox issues, territory marking, and spraying. Don will discuss kitten socialization and habituation so that kittens can have the best chance at becoming the best companions they can be. Lastly, Don will provide tips on making trips to the veterinarian more pleasant and meeting your cat’s nutritional needs. Depending on questions, Cats – *NOT* The Musical, is approximately a 60 to 90-minute presentation.

If you and your dog are a graduate of Green Acres’ Basic Manners class or if you like to watch people and their dogs having fun, you will not want to miss our first Puppy Olympics Invitational. Ashley Charpentier, one of our dog training instructors, has devised a series of games designed to let dogs and their people show off their skills while having a tail-waggin’ good time!

Dog and handler teams will be competing in several categories to determine; fastest recall, longest walk on a loose leash, most extended stay, most puppy push-ups, and more. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will win points for every event. Participants can enter in as many or as few activities as they would like, although by participating in all the games they have a better chance of winning some excellent prizes.
