It has been a busy month, that's for sure! With Christmas only 39 days away (!), remember to support your local businesses when doing your Christmas shopping. Watch for The Chief's feature supplement, Shop Local, on Nov. 22 for great shopping ideas from your local merchants!
How exciting for the staff of Squamish's Canine Valley Re-education and Adventure Centre Society to have had a private audience with famed dog trainer Cesar Millan last week! Millan is the star of the TV show The Dog Whisperer. The meeting took place on Nov. 6 in Abbotsford. Canine Valley's owner, Valley Calderoni, is an ambassador of Millan and his training methods, and this was her third meeting with him.
"This time I brought my entire team and I think it made an impact on him," Calderoni said, adding that Millan was "really impressed" that the Canine Valley staff does pack walks and follows many of the other methods Millan teaches for helping dogs and their owners form a more harmonious relationship.
