And now you know the rest of the story!

How the Kong ball was invented.

The Kong toy was invented by accident more than 40 years ago when Joe Markham needed a way to prevent his German Shepherd Fritz from biting on rocks and sticks. Fritz, who Markham adopted as a shelter dog, had worn down his teeth to one-third of the size they should have been.

He was working on his vehicle and tossed an axle stop with an attached bracket on the ground. His dog got hold of it and loved it. He was playing with it joyously, much to Markham’s amusement.

He said to his friend, “What do you think of my new dog toy?”

His friend replied, “Actually, it’s not too pretty. It looks like an earplug from King Kong.”

And the Kong toy was born☝😉

It’s HERE!! The premium for the Carolina Dog Training Club’s Spring trials is now available!! Entries open next Monday, Jan. 22 and close on Feb 28.

PLEASE NOTE: we have a package show with MB-F and they’re now requiring all entries to go to them directly. PLEASE SEND YOUR ENTRIES TO MB-F, INC IN GREENSBORO!!

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone there, we have Karen Wrey, Ted McCall, and Ellen Beasley judging obedience, and Karen & Ted judging rally. Rally on Saturday will be scheduled concurrently, with the second trial starting approx 45 minutes after the start of the first.

At this time, we DO NOT know if we’ll be able to have a show ‘n go, due to early Presidential primary voting at the recreation center we use and other scheduling conflicts. Please stay tuned, we’re scrambling to try to get one scheduled if we can.

**INCLEMENT WEATHER NOTICE**

Unfortunately, due to the questionable weather Greensboro is experiencing right now and continuing into the evening, Carolina Dog Training Club has made the decision to cancel tonight's Obedience, Rally and Scent Work classes.

We will discuss makeups at next weeks' classes on January 16, 2024. Thank you in advance for understanding.

Everyone stay safe and give your pups an extra treat for having to "potty" in the rain!
