Own a dog and want a free coffee?

We’re running a session with pet grooming students on Wednesday 1 November (1.30pm) about how to communicate with clients.

This session will be held in N114. Find campus map here. 

As employees in this area need to communicate with a wide range of people, from a variety of different backgrounds, we’d like to give our students a similar experience to build their skills in this space. 

So, we’re looking for real-world dog owners to come along to join our discussion panel.

And you’ll get a $5 Eden Café voucher to say thanks! 

We’re looking for:

• an owner of a service dog
• a dog owner who is Māori
• a dog owner who has English as a second language
• an owner of a disabled dog (ideally, a dog with wheels)
• an owner of an aggressive or anxious dog. 

The session will last for an hour, but we only need each panel member for about 10-15mins. We’ll be able to give you a specific time slot closer to the day (as we know you’re busy!). 

This will be a fantastic opportunity for our students to ask questions but we’d also love for you to share with them what you feel is important in terms of communication.
