First-Come, First-Served Registration for 60 Dog Owners with Registered Pets

A specialized training program for pet owners struggling with issues such as barking, biting, and separation anxiety in their dogs will be held in Geumcheon-gu. The district will conduct the pet culture class "Neighborhood Happy Hagae" at the Geumcheon-gu Dog Playground (784-21 Siheung-dong) every Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. throughout April, for a total of four sessions.

This program was organized to prevent neighborhood disputes and civil complaints arising from the increase in households raising pets and to foster a pet culture where both owners and dogs grow together. A certified behavior trainer will provide behavioral correction training to address issues such as barking, biting, and separation anxiety. Additionally, agility training using obstacle courses like hurdle jumping and tunnel passing will help strengthen the bond between owners and their dogs. The program also includes one-on-one consultations and Q&A sessions, and participants who complete the entire course will receive a certificate of completion.

The program is open to dog owners residing in Geumcheon-gu and their dogs with completed registration. A total of 60 participants—15 per session—will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Aggressive breeds are excluded. Applications can be submitted from the 16th to the 30th through the Geumcheon-gu Office website’s Hot Issue Zone, via QR code, or by visiting or calling the Regional Economy Division (02-2627-2594).
