Continuing Education, Again

In a few weeks I will be heading out of state to attend a continuing education conference in Iowa.  Epalooza is an annual event sponsored by That’s My Dog! that brings together professionals from a variety of different backgrounds in the dog world.  As with every year, the lineup of speakers is excellent and the topics being discussed promise to be extremely beneficial.  Some of the topics of this years conference include first aid for your pet, dealing with canine aggression, current trends in training equipment, and lots more!  Not only am I excited to open myself up to soak  in new information, but I’m excited to reunite with old friends and meet some new ones as well.

Continuing education is important in all professions, just as it’s important to your dog.  Dogs that are constantly being taught new things are able to learn easier, and it keeps them fresh leaves them with a sense of purpose.  If you are looking to teach your dog some new things, check out our Austin Agility Seminar or have a mini training session at home tonight, do some trick training, or enroll your dog into some other type of learning activity.  Remember, mental stimulation is just as important for your dog as physical exercise!  If you’re not sure how to properly exercise your dog’s mind, start by getting them into a great Austin dog training class!

Be sure to keep an eye on our Facebook Fan Page and Twitter account as I will be posting pictures and updates from the conference.
