ODAWG would like to thank Brenda Lowry for generously waiving her fees to evaluate the Canine Good Neighbours. We are also very grateful to all those volunteers (Frank, “Sophie”, Marcee, Sig, Marty, Cody and CJ) who helped make the testing a success. Nineteen “Harmony Valley Park” dogs have now been certified. ODAWG plans to offer the evaluation on a yearly basis. Details on the expectations of the evaluation are listed below. If you are interested in taking part in a future evaluation please contact debi.foster@sympatico.ca for information.
