During this 7 week program, you will be taught how to teach your dog the 5 basic commands of sit, stay, down, leash walking and most importantly come, in a positive, fun environment. Counter conditioning, behavioral techniques as well as positive reinforcement are all used to achieve the goal of turning your rambunctious dog into a great member of the family. A great family pet knows not to jump up to greet, does not pull on the leash, sits for his dinner and is a pleasure to have in the house

Cost: $160 for a 7 week program

B.C.’s rock and blues multi-platinum artist Colin James will don his leathers and rev up a Dakota Monster motorcycle and ride for sick children and teens. James will convoy with other motorcyclists, as well as classic car enthusiasts, from Richmond’s River Rock Casino Resort to Whistler during the 10th Annual Music Therapy Ride. “I took part in the ride about five years ago and it was such a blast,” said James, who is working on his 15th album. “”Music plays such a huge part in people’s life. “For kids who are going through so much in the hospital, for them to get to play virtual instruments and record their own music is fantastic … the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund is a great organization.” see Ride page 26
