Calling All Animal Lovers ? Join Chesapeake This Fall | News ...

Join Chesapeake College this Fall to discover how to turn your passion for animals into a career or learn how to just take better care of your furry family member. Chesapeake is offering a wide variety of animal related classes ranging from Equine and Animal Reiki to Dog Grooming to a course on how to raise poultry in your own backyard.

Chesapeake is partnering with the University of Maryland ? Extension Office to offer a Small Farm Livestock Series. Courses in this series include: Livestock Options for Small Acres ? for those who want to raise cattle, sheep or goats on just a few acres; Raising Poultry in your Backyard ? great for a small business or family hobby; and Equine Facilities and Pasture Considerations ? for those who want to create the optimal pasture environment for their horse.

Pet owners and those in the animal care field can learn how to enhance the lives of the animals they care for by taking Chesapeake?s newest courses Animal Reiki and Equine Reiki. Studies have shown that Reiki can help with behavioral issues, speed up the healing process of injured pets and comfort ailing animals. Horses in particular, because of their intuitive nature, respond deeply to Reiki. Equine Reiki can assist with injury, convalescence, fear and aggression, competition or transportation stress, and offers protection against complications related to surgery, anesthesia, and medication. In addition to these courses, Chesapeake is offering Dog Grooming for pet owners and those in animal related fields to learn which bathing and brushing techniques work best for their dog?s coat. Students will practice on their own animals at a working dog grooming facility. For those who are interested in starting their own business, join Chesapeake for an online course on How to Start a Pet Sitting Business. Students will learn the essentials of running your own business including animal care, home visit etiquette, and client relations.

Classes are offered at convenient times and are affordably priced. Most classes are held at the Wye Mills campus of Chesapeake College. For course prerequisites or more information on how to register, contact Marci Leach at 410-827-5833 or mleach@chesapeake.edu.
