Get Involved with National RDOG Event

The Canadian Kennel Club is pleased to announce the second annual National Responsible Dog Ownership Day to be held September 19-26, 2009. The event will see Responsible Dog Ownership Groups (RDOG’S) across Canada rally together to collectively promote, educate and enlighten community members unfamiliar with the valued place our dogs have in Canadian society. This pro-active CKC initiative is the perfect opportunity for CKC clubs and individual members to introduce our newest and most valuable Club resource to your local community. The CKC Responsible Dog Ownership Committee has developed a comprehensive information package dealing with "Children and Safety Around Dogs", "Bite Prevention” for people who encounter unfriendly dogs through work, and a fact sheet detailing "Your Responsibilities in Case of a Bite Incident”. Host an RDog Event in Your City! RDOG Canine Safety Resources and the CKC Responsible Dog Ownership package includes great suggestions, information, and support hosting an RDOG event. For more details, please contact Sonny Allinson, Manager Communications Division at 416-675-5511 Ext. 3317 or rdogs@ckc.ca.
