Taking place from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., this event focuses on a number of different topics, such as knowing which household plants are toxic to dogs, and how to make an “Elizabethan collar and emergency muzzle”. The event will be held at Paws On Training in north Lethbridge and tickets for the course can be purchased on the Southern Alberta k9 First Aid website.

If you don’t have a pet, but cherish collectibles, check out the Lethbridge Comic, Car, and Collectibles Show (CCCS).
