LEARN ABOUT THE TELLINGTON TOUCH FROM SANDRA ROSANO

Sandra is a Guild Certified Tellington Touch Practitioner and has been working with animals through her company All Creatures Tellington TTouch since 2005.

The combination of the TTouch body work with unique movement exercises improves focus and attention, allowing optimal learning to take place. By using a variety of other techniques that also assist the animal to experience a sense of confidence in previously frightening or challenging situations, even the most difficult problems are often eliminated with just a few sessions. The Tellington Method also provides people with a wonderful means of deepening the bond they share with their animal companions through communication.

Founded in 1987, THE GOOD GUYS is a small group of dedicated dog owners who, in addition to participating in many other “doggie” disciplines, take time out to support worthwhile community services by way of fundraising events. These fundraising events help to show that dogs with responsible owners can be contributing members of a community. The committed members donate their time, talents, travel expenses and equipment (not to mention their dogs.) to make these successful events happen.

ENJOY THE PETTING ZOO brought to you by the folks from WHIMZ

What child can resist a playful hedgehog, a friendly lizard, or any of their other gently raised small mammals, amphibians and reptiles? Everyone gets a chance to hold and learn about the animals. Children will be able to interact with them, while learning something about the species.

After a lively visit with animals children will be able to select their favourite Whimz Animal Trading Card to take home.

GET A FREE PICTURE OF YOUR PET

by talented Toronto Photographer Piotr Organa who captures the essence of the animals he photographs

"Pet photography is like pet ownership.

It works best when our animals are

treated with dignity.I believe that the

most dignified way to photograph dogs and cats is to see them as people, with soul"

Piotr Organa

TO MAKE SURE BLESSFEST IS THE MOST SPECIAL PET SHOW EVER

WE ARE ALSO HAVING A BLESSING OF ANIMALS

You do not have to participate but you will have fun if you do.

This is not a serious church service. Although church officials will be

doing the Blessing, no church affiliation is required.

This is fun and magical and every animal that gets blessed will receive a special gift.

See what a Blessing of Animals looks like on our Picture Page.

Pets must be registered prior to the show

You guessed it! This is free too

Fun, expert advice, rides, interesting animals, informative demonstrations, super shopping and beautiful music as you stroll through the park on a Fall day eating popcorn and sipping hot apple cider.
