For some time now you have been hearing all about the Pet Professional Guild’s Virtual Event to celebrate force free training. What has not been so easy to find out about are the prizes!!! Well, look no further. For simply registering for the event you will automatically receive

* A special canine competitor medal (which we hope will become an annual collectors’ item)

* A completion certificate

* Access to enter the PPG photograph Competition

And the prizes for the photograph competition are beyond belief!!!!! Just for showing us a picture of you and your pet undertaking force free training the list of prizes goes on and on. Show us YOU and YOUR PET (and it doesn’t have to be a dog – lizards, fish, frogs, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, rats and mice or any pet you have) either training or on a walk, wearing your PPG competitor bib!
