Dogs Trust International Training Programme

Tappancs Animal Welfare Organisation had the opportunity to participate in the March 2010 International Training Course organised by the UK's largest charity in rehoming dogs. We enjoyed 4 days of training packed with extremely useful presentations and workshops on many topics, such as dog handling, veterinary matters, how to build a shelter, education in primary schools, trap-neuter and release programs for cats and dogs, fundraising and of course rehoming dogs (and cats - with a representative from Cat's Protection).

We were 17 participants from many different countries such as Portugal, Latvia, Cyprus, Kosovo, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus and even a vet from Tanzania.

If you are considering participating (especially Spain and Germany are not well represented in the courses yet!) I can only recommend it!
