Saga Hooks Up with Dog Training Education Seminar at Sea

Dog Training Education at Sea Comes to San Pedro
A group of traveling dog trainers and dog owners from the United States and Canada made their way to San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize, via a training course that took place onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. The course gave the trainers and dog owners the opportunity to work with SAGA Humane Society and learn more about its operations on the island.
The ‘Education at Sea’ training program was organized by dog trainer Heather Beck, a board member of SAGA and the founder of K9 Lifeline in Daper, Utah. Heather lead the Education at Sea Cruise with over 30 dog trainers and dog owners who departed from Galveston, Texas on April 19, 2015, docking in Roatan, Honduras and then in Belize City on April 23. While in the country the group hopped on to Ambergris Caye for lunch and work hands on with San Pedro’s Saga Humane Society, training some local stray dogs or ‘potlikers’ as they call them in Belize. 
Education at Sea offered a unique opportunity to its participants to expand their expertise and knowledge in a fun, relaxed and stimulating environment. For seven days members cruised the beautiful Caribbean Sea, with three days of interactive lecture while traveling onboard the cruise ship. The lectures consisted of topics that helped bring attendees better understanding of dogs and humans and how to better interact and work with both. 
These seven days consisted of days that allowed exploring and excursion trips. Stops included Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel. Heather Beck took the opportunity to bring the group to discover the country of Belize while she offered a hands-on experience with the shelter she works with here in San Pedro. Also participating in the program was local dog trainer, groomer and Saga board member Katia Marin of Pampered Paws services.
