CAPDT Members Round Table
June 30th, 2025 at 4pm MST on Zoom
Our Host Shannon Noonan at At Spot On Dogs Behaviour & Training, we specialize in helping dogs and their humans build calm, confident relationships through science-based, compassion-first training.
I work with complex behaviour cases—everything from reactivity to service dog or therapy dog preparation—and love helping people understand their dogs on a deeper level. My focus is on building resilience and understanding, not control.
Past Conferences & Events
Dogs and the City
A 3 day conference continuing the conversation on how to best help our urban dogs. The conference is centered around exploring the influence of city life on dogs. It caters to a diverse audience, including dog owners/guardians, shelter workers, veterinarians, vet techs, walkers, dog daycare attendants, groomers, and trainers.
Renowned industry leaders shared insights on the escalating behavioral challenges, their underlying causes, and a plethora of effective strategies to aid in addressing these issues.
Dogs and the City
We were proud to be co-hosting Dogs and the City in Toronto this last year with EduCanine. Over 3 days, we learned from Dr. Kristina Spaulding, Emily Strong, and Sam DeJong.

The APDT/CAPDT joint conference was held October 19 – 21, 2022 in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The CAPDT was proud to have CAPDT Members Megan Stanley, Kris Stanley, and Andrew Perkins at the CAPDT booth, ready to welcome visitors to a 10’x10′ piece of Canada! Visitors to the booth could pick up handouts on 8 Simple Rules for Petting a Stranger’s Dog, How to Help a Newly Adopted Dog Adjust to Their New Home, Top 10 Summer Safety Tips, how to keep your dog safe from Blue-Green algae, and best practices for dogs at outdoor events like fireworks (spoiler alert: they’ll be Happy at Home). Visitors to the booth were treated to trivia about famous Canadian Dogs, and a taste of maple candy.
