We are searching for FOUR demonstration dogs with various issues for a “CANINE CONFLICT” seminar with Cheryl Smith and Calvin Thompson in Beeton, Ontario, Canada in May 2009.

I originally wrote this article on the two year anniversary of the Ontario legislation, so that’s about a year and a half ago. Considering our fundraising efforts to get to the Supreme Court of Canada, I think it’s appropriate to re-use it now to try to give you some idea of what life is like for many dog owners in Ontario.

These photos give you a clear picture of one of the reasons why I left Ontario.

I think people are starting to understand what this is really about!
