Education Opportunity! - National Dog Bite Prevention Conference

Victoria Stilwell is spearheading the first National Dog Bite Prevention Conference in Atlanta on May 4th 2012. The conference will be addressing many important issues including how to prevent, assess and treat dog bites as well as educating people on canine behavior. There are some incredible people speaking including animal behaviorists, forensic bite investigators, law enforcement, lawyers and medical professionals. This is a conference designed to tackle the issue of dog bites from every side in a constructive and realistic way so that we can make a positive impact on this problem by promoting workable solutions. More information will be available and posted in a few weeks.
