As Byron’s dog whisperer, Donna feels that same bond with the community where she lives and works. “I love the people of Byron, and it will always be my home.” Donna is accepting new clients for service-related owner training and regular private pet training. For more information, email Info@ goadogs.ca or call 519-670-1809. For specific inquiries about Pet CPR and First Aid courses, email courses@goadogs.ca or visit www.goadogs.ca.

Kung Fu & Tai Chi School EXPERIENCE MARTIAL ARTS AND WELLNESS BOOK A TRIAL CLASS AT https://kungfu-taichi.ca Dedicated classes for children • Day Camps Classes for teens, adults and seniors. With the owner-training model, Donna can now help people with brain injuries affecting cognition or balance, milder developmental disabilities, mental health, PTSD, diabetes, and seizure-related conditions, giving them freedom, security, and independence they might not have otherwise. A person’s condition may even be rehabilitated to a certain degree by helping train a service dog where other healthcare modalities, like physiotherapy, don’t work. The challenge, however, is that service dog training comes at a cost, and not everyone who could benefit from having a service dog can afford the training. This is where Donna’s Pet CPR and First Aid course helps. All first aid course fees and pet training fees help subsidize the service dog training costs. “Dogs add so much to our lives and service dogs add an extra layer for people who need support,” adds Donna. “Almost anything is possible with a strong bond between an owner and their dog and a commitment to the relationship.” Nancey and Hazelle are a new owner-training team in progress. This is Hazelle’s first day with Nancey.
