AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Days - Enjoy this September!

With school being in full swing then and the summer winding down, I most defiantly would put some of these fun-filled, dog loving events on my calendar in September! If you are interested in a free and informative day for you and your family, especially if you are a dog owner or looking to own a dog soon, why not spend a day learning about the well-being of your dog and have fun too!

Melissa Gampel Owner/President of Doggie Couture Shop said "What a great event for all dog lovers and families that are committed to the well-being of animals".

September is the month that the American Kennel Club has marked Responsible Dog Ownership Days.

This is an entire month long celebration with events being held all over the county with different organizations and free events.Each different organization is planning on demonstrations and information events and all might be different.

See which event or events suit you and your family the best! Visit http://www.akc.org/clubs/rdod/events/ to see where the closest event for you is and try to make plans to learn about different bits of information regarding your dog.

Some AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Day events may include:

• Microchip clinics
• Safety tips for your dog
• Free items
  
  
• Therapy classes for your dog
• Also, for bragging rights to how well behaved your dog is take the AKC Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Test, sponsored by K9 Advantix. This 10-step test rewards well-mannered, obedient dogs – and is offered at many events.

AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Days are nationally sponsored by Invisible Fence® Brand, whose behavior-based fencing system has successfully kept over 2 million dogs safely in both outdoor and indoor environments.
