Join us on September 9th, 7 PM, at the Kempsville Ruritan Club as Melissa Cushman, certified Control Unleashed instructor and Fenzi-certified sport dog foundations trainer, teaches us about pattern games! Pattern games are part of the Control Unleashed program that helps distracted, anxious, or over-aroused dogs engage with their handlers and work through challenging environments. Add some tools to your toolbox to get the best performance from your dogs in the ring or even just while out and about. Hope to see you there!

The program will follow a short business meeting. The meeting and program are open to the public and free of charge.

What a great time of learning, fun, and food! The Will Alexander Handling Seminar was a success by all standards! After two days of practice, critique, lectures and Q&A, there was a mock dog show, with special TKC friend, Aleta Canady as the guest judge. Our own TKC members, BJ Kasisky won first place overall, Mary Kara won fourth in group two (we had so many dogs we divided them up by size), and Jillian Brown won most improved. Thanks again to Will for a first class event.

This is spot #2 Please reference this in any correspondence.

We have an available spot for the Will Alexander handling seminar! There was another message thread concerning people on a waitlist, but since I can't determine the order of the responses in that thread, I will advertise any additional spots separately (like this one).

The first person that messages me on FB messenger will get the open spot, assuming they register for it immediately after receiving notification from me. Reference spot #2.

Thanks,

Dave Thomas
