Hi all.

Yes, there will be class tomorrow. There is some shade but make sure you are prepared for your dog. Have water, maybe a spray bottle with cool water (not ice cold) in it. Maybe have a wet towel for your dog to stand on. Also, please don't have AC running full blast on your way, it is a shock to dog's system going from cold AC, right into hot air.

Updated location. Thank you Andrea. New location is 3108 Telegraph Rd.
For those of you coming from the south, turn right on Kilmalu and left on Telegraph, location is on left side of road. For those coming from North, turn left on Hutchinson, and right on Telegraph, location is on right side of road.

Hey everyone. There will be a class on Monday, Feb 19. I will have one class at 2 and one at 3. You can even come halfway through one and stay halfway through the other if you want. Basically it's a 2 hour class, come stay for as long as you want.

See you Monday

How many times do you hear me saying "longer stride"??????

Our movement can affect our dog's movement in so many ways. When you want your dog to move out, it will help if you also move out by taking long strides.

Hey, most of you know what a great teacher Allison is in person, but her courses are just as great. I always recommend the Winner's Circle subscription because you get everything with it, including all the webinars past and future and at $23US/approx $30CDN a month it's a fantastic deal. Most people spend more at Starbucks in a month.😁

Good time to get in on some courses or Winners Circle to help prepare for New Year

10/01/2024

Got a question to those of you that attend my handling classes. I'm thinking of having the 7pm class every 2nd week? Reason being quite often there is only one maybe 2 people and unfortunately, that doesn't cover the rent . Please let me know your thoughts?

For those that went to the Winter Classic. Bev Holoboff has posted her ringside photos from the weekend. Take a look, your dog may be in there.

Also want to say congrats to all of you that showed your dog this past weekend, I tried to watch most of you through the weekend. You all did a fantastic job. Keep in mind things you want to work on in the New Year and we will.

For those going to the Winter Classic dog show and need show or grooming supplies (leads, collars, sprays, shampoo, etc) Continental Pet Company will be a vendor at the show. If there is something you want take a look at the website and either order online for pickup at the show, or message them what you want to they can bring it and you pay for it at the show.

👉Reminder!👈 As much as we’d enjoy it, we just can’t bring the whole store to the Winter Classic dog show in Duncan this week! If you want to make sure we have what you want at our booth, send us a message or pre order through our website and choose “pickup” instead of shipping, and add winter classic in the notes. We are packing up tomorrow so let us know asap! We are looking forward to seeing everyone!

From our CKC Zone Rep
Information on Upper Respiratory Infection affecting dogs. If your dogs is sick, please stay home for the upcoming shows. We will be asking all of our judges at the Winter Classic to have the exhibitors show the bites and disinfect their hands frequently.
Please make yourself aware of how to show the bite correctly for your breed. If you are not sure go to the oral chart link.

The good news is so far no cases have been reported on the island, but we have dogs come from all over to be safe, know how to show your dog's bite properly
