Abstract
DogFest is promoted as a celebration of dogs. Within a wider programme aimed at having fun, DogFest delivers opportunities for dog owners, dog trainers and the wider community to learn about wildlife aversion dog training. The case aims to introduce wildlife aversion, a behaviour that dogs can perform to protect and avoid wildlife. Some dog owners attending the event signed up for training programmes that embedded wildlife aversion as one behaviour within a wider 4-week dog training programme. There are a variety of resources available such as dog obedience training schools, books, television shows and webinars from experts that are designed to enable current or potential dog owners to learn about and gain the skills to manage their dog’s behaviour. One module provides dog owners with wildlife aversion training techniques, while other modules take dog owners through the steps needed to walk nicely on a lead, come when called, and to keep dogs safe.
