The Biology of Dogs
Presenter: Charles Berger, DVM
November 1 and 2, 2008
Cost:
$95 for day 1, $180 for both days

Dr. Charles Berger's new seminar emphasizes a dog's
place in nature and dogs' association with humans
by looking at domestication and the human/canine
bond. We will also examine the dogs' wolf and mammalian
heritage to attempt to understand the modern domestic
dog. The seminar will also include a look at working
dogs (including distance racing sled dogs) and other
topics such as physiology, and anatomy of dogs, and
common dog diseases. Come prepared for lively discussion.
Dr. Ian Dunbar, founder of Sirius Puppy Training
and the American Pet Dog Training Association, author
of many books and training videos, and a long-time
friend of Charlie's notes, "You'll love this
seminar, especially Berger's ability to put it all
in terms of the big picture".
Charles Berger is a graduate of Cornell Veterinary
College and was the owner and medical director of
Campus Veterinary Clinic in Berkeley, California
for 35 years. He was on the Board of Directors of
the institute that oversaw the largest collection
of captive wolves. He also served on the Board of
Directors of the International Sled Dog Veterinary
Medical Association and has been the veterinarian
