Tudge states, "Aggression and Bite safety is a very important topic for pet professionals, pet owners, home service workers and community representatives. It is often misunderstood leaving pet owners without much-needed help and support. We hope this is the first of many educational initiatives to help keep our canines and families safe through education, community programs and a much better all-round understanding of these crucial topics.  Doggone safe works year-round to help support Dog Bite Safety Educators, Be a Tree Presenters and Pet Owners where PPG represents professionals working in the field who benefit from the Guild's education program and resources to support their effectiveness. Hosting this seminar together is the perfect fit and a great opportunity to bring like-minded supportive individual together."
