EVENTS
Are you interested in a CGC test
with your dog?
We hope to hold one in September - give us a call! 978-779-6054.
Canine Good Citizen test
held previously at the Bolton Fairgrounds, Lancaster,
MA
June 8 (Sunday), 2008
at the WHISKER WALK!!!

Despite the VERY, VERY hot weather
we were able to test some dogs
on June 8.
We're happy to report that as a result there are 4 new CGC dogs!!!
A portion of the proceeds went to Helping Paws.
Thanks to Jim and Kathy Brooks and
their grandchildren and dog Bear, and Ryan Kimball
for coming out to help on a sweltering day!

*************************************************
Congrats to those who passed our previous CGC test!

Many thanks to Kathy Brooks
and Bear, Kathy's four grandchildren and
Kathy Wilkinson for all their help with this event!
***********************************
TWO of our previous CGC-earning dogs, Chase and Marco,
participated in the
ON COURSE FOR KIDS
event at the Boston Expo Center. This agility
event raises
funds for kids with cancer. For more information visit
http://www.dogsofcourse.com/ocfk.htm.
Tina has been the Volunteer Coordinator at this event and has also been
in charge of the prize, trophy and ribbon tables and led the parade!
Son Tucker and
some of his friends and fellow students from Worcester Academy have helped
in past
years, too, with set-up, timing, course-work, the parade and more.

At one of our Canine Good Citizen tests, our students helped us
collect LOTS of things
for the Worcester Animal Rescue League in honor of Responsible Dog
Ownership Day.
We held a similar event later in the year in conjunction
with our agility run-throughs and
with our scheduled classes for that week.
Great graduation mortar board, Bizkit!!

If you have any
question about class being held due to poor weather on a particular night, please
wait until 4:00 PM and then call us at 978-779-6054. If we decide to
postpone class prior to that time we will call you. Please be sure we
have the correct number to reach you during the day!

EVENTS and EXTRAS
We offer a variety
of special programs throughout the year including Canine Good Citizen tests
(we are approved as evaluators for this test by the American Kennel Club),
agility and obedience run-thrus, workshops on various dog sports and more.
We can also provide these events for your organization. For example,
for the past several summers we have judged 4-H kids in Westford, Massachusetts in
obedience, agility and fitting & showmanship. We have helped a
local 4-H group with Canine Good Citizen training and therapy work.
A local Girl Scout group came to us for some training to be used towards one
of their goals. We have taught dog safety programs for elementary
school kids for a number of years. We have worked on the American Kennel
Club's National Agility Championships committee (Luis was equipment
chairman, Tina was Chief Steward). What can we do for you?!
We also welcome the
opportunity to participate in community events. For several years we
have given a number of agility demonstrations each day at the Bolton Fair in
Bolton, Massachusetts (www.boltonfair.org).
We have also taken part in the HudsonFest in Hudson, Massachusetts.
