Dongdaemun-gu to Recruit First 40 Participants for Companion Dog Behavior Education Academy Starting the 26th...Promoting Mature Pet Culture through Awareness Education on Owner Responsibilities and Pet Etiquette

Practical training on companion dog behavior education is being conducted at the Companion Dog Academy held last year.

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] As we enter the era of 10 million pet owners, with pet dogs commonly seen around us, conflicts between neighbors due to noise and waste issues are also increasing, highlighting the need for a mature pet culture equipped with proper pet etiquette.

Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) has launched a pet dog behavior correction academy to create a city where humans and animals coexist harmoniously based on respect for life.

The district invites professional pet behavior instructors to provide education combining theory and practice on ▲pet dog management ▲behavior analysis and Animal Protection Act education ▲behavior correction and walking etiquette ▲handling unexpected situations, covering pet dog knowledge, relevant laws, and behavior training.

This academy will operate four classes every Wednesday and Thursday from November 3 to 26, with each class conducted over two days.

The program is free of charge, and 40 residents who have completed animal registration and are interested in pet dog education will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Residents wishing to participate can apply by visiting the 6th floor Economic Promotion Division of Dongdaemun-gu Office, calling, or emailing (jhk318@ddm.go.kr).

Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol of Dongdaemun-gu stated, “By strengthening owners’ responsibility and management duties regarding their pet dogs, we hope to alleviate conflicts among neighbors caused by problematic pet behaviors, even if only slightly. We also hope this academy will contribute to spreading a healthy and mature pet culture as we enter the era of 10 million pet owners.”
