2019 Annual Educational Conference and Trade Show

Panel Session: Advocacy is Not a Spectator Sport (Room Oregon Ballroom 203)

Animal welfare is a bipartisan topic that has recently taken a high priority in local, state and federal legislation.  There has been an explosion of proposed legislation and laws touching on our companion animals, on issues as broad as breed discriminatory laws, damages for injury or death of a dog or cat, animal shelter regulation, and pet shops and puppy mills.  Your legislators need to hear from you as stakeholders and constituents with interest and experience in dog training and behavior. This presentation will give you guidance about where to find relevant federal, state and local laws, as well as how to identify key legislators.
