What is Responsible Dog Ownership Day?
Responsible Dog Ownership Day, observed on the third Saturday of September, was launched in 2003 by the American Kennel Club to spotlight the lifelong commitment of dog ownership. Each year the AKC and partner organisations host training workshops, health clinics, and adoption events; the day is also the centrepiece of Responsible Dog Ownership Month.
