"Let's Go to School, Dangdang!"... Suncheon to Host One-Day School for Pets

Seven Experience Classrooms and "Dangdang Sports Day" to Be Held on October 3
"A Chance to Foster a Thoughtful Pet Culture Through Unique Experiences"

Suncheon City, Jeonnam-Gwangju Unified Special City, announced on the 30th that it will hold the "Our Neighborhood Pet Class – Let's Go to School, Dangdang" event at the outdoor playground of the Suncheon Pet Culture Center on October 3.

This event is an interactive pet culture festival set up to transform the entire event venue into a "school" from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Participants will take on the role of students, experiencing everything from enrollment and a variety of classes to graduation, while naturally learning essential information for everyday life, such as pet etiquette, pet health, and behavior.

There will be seven experiential classrooms available at the event: Morality (Pet Life Skills Test), Art (Caricature Drawing), Technology (Shrinkle Keyring Making), Health (Health Counseling), Home Economics (Nutritious Treat Making), Physical Education (Dog Fitness), and Life Guidance (Behavioral Counseling and Life Habits Education). A wide array of programs is planned.

Participants will receive an attendance sheet and can choose which classes to try. After completing each class, they will receive an attendance stamp. Anyone who participates in five or more experience classrooms will become a graduate, receiving a certificate and graduation gift, and can take graduation photos with their dog at the graduation ceremony photo zone.

Outside the classrooms, the pet volunteer group "Sundang-i" will run a "Dog Poop Exchange Booth," where people can bring their dog's waste in a disposal bag and exchange it for treats to promote proper pet waste disposal culture.

From 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., a "Dangdang Sports Day" will be held at the outdoor playground, featuring a dog obstacle course (Mini Agility Competition), talent shows, and other programs that pets and their owners can enjoy together.

A city official said, "We have prepared this event so that participants can enjoyably 'enroll in school' with their dogs and learn together," adding, "We hope that this new experience will help foster a mature pet culture in which pet owners and non-owners alike are thoughtful and considerate of each other."
