<p>Come to a dog training event at the Seaside Public Library.</p>

SEASIDE The Friends of the Seaside Library will host a Dog Training program with veteran trainer Diane Morrow at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9. The event will take place in the Community Room; due to space limitations attendees may not bring their own animals.

The demonstrations at this event will include Basic Companion, Rally Obedience and Canine Scent Work. Basic Companion will cover simple obedience training ranges that teach dogs to reliably respond to basic commands such as sit, down, stay and come. Rally Obedience is a fun way to use obedience skills and consists of a competition format in which dogs proceed around a course of designated stations, with the animal in heel position, while doing a variety of freestyle exercises. Canine Scent Work is inspired by working detection dogs and is a fun search and scenting activity that builds confidence and focus in many dogs and provides a safe way to keep pooches fit and healthy.

Morrow is a local dog trainer with more than 37 years of experience. She will be joined by Marsha Fuzia and her golden retrievers, Walker and Storm; Beth Weaver and Weimaraner Taylor; Candice Kerr and Labrador retriever Jammer; Celeste Kerr and Labrador retriever Splash; Tara Hadley and Labrador retriever Goose; and Pam Holden with her border collies, Quinn and Maisie.

Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway. For more information call 503-738-6742 or visit www.seasidelibrary.org
