Growlers: Reactive Dog Obedience
<p>This obedience class is smaller in size and designed for dogs that are aggressive both on and off leash. If you feel your dog is aggressive, overanxious, hard to handle in most situations, has bitten or may bite, then this is the obedience class for you. If you feel your dog meets the above criteria, then successful completion of this course is required before taking Dog Obedience I. This course sets up scenarios for owners to learn how to handle situations in which their dog may be reactive. Not all dogs will finish this course and be 'cured' of their reactivity, and the course is mostly focused on teaching owners/handlers how to handle certain situations that may arise with their pets. Students should bring vaccination records on the first night of class. Please do not bring your dog to the first class. Registration is required prior to the class start date. If you have questions or would like to register, please visit www.kirkwood.edu/ce or contact 319-398-1022.</p> 2021-01-14 20:00:00 -06003/22/216:00 p.m.Cedar Rapids Animal Care and ControlCedar Rapids -

Virtual Thursday Forum: What’s in Your Water? Water Quality in Iowa (and Beyond)
<p dir="ltr">Maty St. Clair, Ben Peterson Professor of Chemistry</p><p dir="ltr">This Thursday Forum will explore the issue of water quality in Iowa. The forum will begin with a brief introduction to the history of water technology and regulation in the United States, including the Clean Water Act (1972) and Safe Drinking Water Act (1974). As a primarily agricultural state, Iowa’s most significant water quality issues include excess nutrients and bacteria. We will discuss the impacts of those pollutants on human health and the environment, examine efforts to assess the problem (including our own Coe Water Quality Lab) and review a recent lawsuit by Des Moines Water Works against drainage districts in northwestern Iowa. We also will assess the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy, Iowa’s plan to reduce the impact of its contribution to the Gulf of Mexico’s “dead zone.” Finally, we will take a look at other headline-grabbing water-quality issues with contaminants such as lead, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals”) and viruses, with an eye toward anticipating future developments.</p> 2021-03-25 23:58:00 -05003/25/2112:00 a.m.Coe CollegeCedar Rapids -
