Community Services by Cowichan Canine
We are active in the community and support the following not-for-profit organizations and activities:
Cowichan Canine Dog Bite Prevention Education
Lisbeth Plant ACDBC UW-AAB KPACTP CBATI is a licensed Be A Tree-presenter with Doggone Safe, a non-profit organization dedicated to dog bite prevention through education and dog bite victim support. The Be a Tree programme is a seminar program for school-age children (5-12 years old) that teaches children about dog body language and how to act safely around dogs. Through the sponsorships of Cowichan Canine, Lisbeth offers the Be a Tree dog bite prevention program free of charge to schools, scout groups and similar community groups.
PACTA BC (Professional Animal Care and Training Association of BC)
The Anglican Church of St John the Baptist, Cobble Hill
At regular intervals, we offer educational events for the benefit of our local church.
Community Education Seminars
If you would like us to come and speak to your group about dogs, dog training, dog bite prevention or any similar subject, please call 250-732-5415 or email [email protected].
Lisbeth is very knowledgeable about the science behind dog training, and full of great ideas. Whatever the issue, she has suggestions and approaches. We live in a remote region, and Lisbeth's willingness to work with us virtually was a lifesaver. I also really appreciated having detailed written instructions, rather than relying on memory or my own notes. The training made a huge difference in our lives. Many thanks!

Hi Lisbeth,
Just wanted to let you know Wylie’s emergency recall works! We came across two unleashed dogs on a hike yesterday and he went over the edge unfortunately- tore the leash out of my hand and ran away into the woods.
I took a tumble in the process and by the time I got up he was out of sight. Pulled out the whistle, called him repeatedly and after what seemed like ages he came to me!
We will never leave the house without my whistle ad sardines…thank you so much!
