"My Puppy Has Changed"... Seongdong-gu Provides 1:1 Customized Training for Companion Dogs

District operates 1:1 customized dog behavior correction program for 50 households... Presents dog problem behavior analysis solution to resolve social conflicts from noise and biting incidents

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Won-oh) is operating a ‘Companion Dog Behavior Correction Program’ that analyzes problem behaviors of companion dogs on a one-on-one basis and provides customized solutions for each problem behavior, and is recruiting target households from the 11th.

Recently, with the era of 10 million companion animals, conflicts among residents due to problem behaviors such as pet excretion, noise, and biting accidents have increased, leading to social issues such as the occurrence of abandoned animals due to giving up pet ownership and increased public anxiety.

Therefore, this program was prepared to resolve conflicts among residents and establish a safe companion animal care culture through proper companion animal behavior correction.

The education is conducted by an animal behavior expert who analyzes the companion dog’s problem behaviors on a one-on-one customized basis and suggests solutions according to the problems to correct the behaviors. It targets a total of 50 households, and the education schedule is conducted once for 120 minutes at a specialized educational institution through consultation between the dog owner and the expert between June and August.

The education fee is free, and households within the region experiencing difficulties due to companion dog problem behaviors who have completed animal registration can apply.

Applications can be made from May 11 to June 4 via email (cyj1018@sd.go.kr) or by visiting the Seongdong-gu Office Regional Economy Division, with priority given to households generating civil complaints and households adopting abandoned dogs. Application forms and detailed information can be found on the Seongdong-gu Office website (www.sd.go.kr).

Jeong Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “Recently, social conflicts between pet owners and non-pet owners have rapidly emerged,” and added, “We will expand companion animal education so that all residents can be satisfied, minimize social conflicts, and strive to spread a proper companion culture.”
