Pets are an important part of Darwin’s lifestyle and are more often than not loved members of our family. At City of Darwin we are primarily responsible for managing dogs and cats throughout the municipality.
Pawsitive K9 Behaviour have created a FREE workshop called 'Barking Matters' and we have partnered up to share it with you. The free workshop will help you understand why dogs bark and what strategies can be used to reduce barking.
When: Thursday 30 July 6pm – 7pm
Where: Nightcliff Community Centre - 18 Bauhinia St, Nightcliff
Owning a pet brings many benefits to us as owners and can dramatically improve our quality of life. It is also a large responsibility not only because of the daily needs of your pet, your pet also becomes a part of the community.
When addressing the task of managing dogs and cats, we've considered many aspects, including the benefits of pet ownership and the health and wellbeing of residents.
