A Southampton pet food and accessory retailer welcomed international TV and dog behaviourist, Chirag Patel to its inaugural exclusive dog-trainer event.
Healthy Pet Store rolled out the red carpet for its celebrity guest, who mixed and mingled with dog trainers from across the region while offering his latest thoughts on the human-animal relationship and new training concepts.
Chirag Patel is an internationally renowned animal behaviourist and consultant, known for his work on changing the way we explore our relationships with companions and zoo animals. He has also been featured on BBC One, Channel Four, 5 Star and CTV.
Healthy pet Store hosted over 30 dog enthusiasts to its event, Chirag on the High Street, who listened to talks from Chirag, explored new training gear, and mingled with trainers alike.
A glamorous doggy assistant even stepped in to demonstrate some of Chirag’s training concepts.
Deborah Burrows from Healthy Pet Store brought in the bubbles and canapes for the guests of the celebrity event to enjoy and there was a pup-arazzi photographer to capture the international star.
All the guests went home with a goody bag including essentials such as Acme whistle, paracord lanyard, fleece tug toy and thermal flask.
Deborah said: “The event was just fantastic. Chirag offered such an interesting insight into some of his behavioural concepts and challenged the wat we describe relationships with our companion pets.
“Everyone had a smile on their face and the trainers said they thoroughly enjoyed meeting and mingling with Chirag. We all learnt a huge amount from him. I would like to say a massive thank you to Chirag for visiting us.
“I loved seeing so many people from the dog-loving community coming together to learn and meet each other. It was such a wholesome evening. The goody bags went down a treat too.”
