Educational Webinar 1: Reserve your place

Educational Webinar 1: Reserve your place

As part of National Adoption Month, GAP Victoria is hosting two free Educational Webinars.

The first of these is with the RSPCA’s Liam Deans-Pope, on Thursday 13 April from 8-9.30pm, with the session to focus on dog behaviour and training.

Liam has worked in the animal welfare industry for the over twelve years and as a behavioural trainer for the past six.

During this time, he has enjoyed the opportunity to work with a wide variety of domestic animals across Victoria in a range of roles, including an animal management officer for a local council, an assessor of retired racing Greyhounds and most recently as the senior animal trainer for a rescue organisation.

Liam feels strongly that the human animal bond is a thing to be treasured, a belief that is reflected in his commitment to scientifically validated, force-free training methods.

He understands that companion animal training and management is an ever-evolving field and is always seeking to further his knowledge and understanding.

Liam has a particular passion for working with fearful and/or reactive dogs, having owned more than a few of them himself.

Ducky

5 years old

Lovely Ducky has been living as a pet for the last three years and has been returned to our care through no fault of her own. In her previous home, Ducky was able to spend 8+ hours home alone by herself, so she may be great for full time workers! She has also been noted to love canine company, and we think she may be great in a home with another medium or large sized dog, or fine on her own! Ducky has a sensitive throat, so needs to be walked with a harness. As she can be a little excitable, we think she would be best in a home without any elderly, and would be ok with children aged 10 or older.
