The sessions will be held twice: on Tuesday, November 4, and Saturday, November 8, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Bukaksan Neighborhood Park Ecological Experience Center (126-9 Seongbuk-ro 31-gil). Any Seongbuk-gu resident who has registered their companion dog is eligible to apply.

In each session, the companion dog and guardian will participate as a team, engaging in leadership and socialization training, dog-to-dog and dog-to-human socialization education, and practical exercises to develop the habit of focusing on the guardian while walking in public spaces.
