Are you unsure of what to do next? 

Come to our free introductory training seminar on Saturday, October 4th next date coming soon from 10am to noon. Learn about dog behavior and training. Bring your questions, as all will be answered. There will be live demonstrations to ensure understanding.

We love all of your canine partners, but this seminar is for human handlers only, unless you are specifically asked to bring your dog. Please RSVP at m.janek@aol.com to secure a spot.
