Event at Fairfield Public Library Sat Aug 13:
Our popular education program on Dog Training, Behavior and Communication met with great success at the Fairfield Library on August 13. TFKC President Laura Wells welcomed kids and parents as some of our experts demonstrated the How To's of training in Obedience, Rally and Canine Good Citizenship (CGC). Club members Chris Sweetwood, Lauren Friedman, and Dona Campbell, along with their dogs (who are certified by Therapy Dogs International) showed the captivated young audience, and their parents, the many ways we communicate with our dogs and how to best train them for optimal results. Junior club member Cameron Marro assisted and showed that age doesn't matter when it comes to successfully communicating with your furry friend.

Presents 4 Pets, http://www.p4pct.org:
'Presents 4 Pets' was established to not only raise awareness about homeless animals, local animal shelters and rescue organizations in Shelton CT and neighboring communities, but to ensure pets in these local animal shelters receive desperately needed pet care items to keep them comfortable and safe. It also helps keep the shelters operational.
The Southern Connecticut Presents 4 Pets campaign began August 1st and runs through the first week of November. Local Pet Sitting service 'Paws and Kisses' is part of a network of other pet sitting businesses nation-wide in spearheading the drive to collect and donate pet care products for this special cause. Items like pet food, treats, blankets, toys, rugs, beds, leashes, collars and cat litter are greatly needed to keep the animals and the shelters thriving.
