North Vancouver dog trainer Saro Boghozian has identified five things every dog must have every day: exercise, training, socialization, care and affection.
He describes how pet owners can meet these needs in his new book, A Dog's Five Essential Needs. "If a dog's essential needs are not being met, it can lead to behaviour problems. When you meet your dog's needs, not only will you have a better-behaved dog, you will enjoy your time with your dog much more," Boghozian says in a press release.
He is launching his book at a fundraising event to benefit A Voice4Paws Canine Rescue Society on Saturday, June 6, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Jonah's Ark, 1611 Welch St., North Vancouver.
There will be prizes, a silent auction, games, treats for both humans and dogs, photography by Studio 2 and agility demonstrations. There will also be an opportunity to meet dogs available for adoption. One dollar from the sale of every book will be donated to A Voice4Paws.
