Congratulations to the teams that achieved their Canine Good Citizen title.

The four teams that participated did wonderfully; their hard work did not go unnoticed.

Each team's journey is different, and the paths to earning a CGC can be daunting. Each team, however, approached the test with enthusiasm and joy (and maybe a little nervousness).

All teams should be proud of their hard work and dedication to their dogs.

Thank you, Eleanor Post, for hosting this event and your lovely work. I know how much you care about your clients and their success.

The turnout was small but precious to me. Thank you for coming out, sharing my excitement, and sharing your ideas for our weekend morning adventures, which are coming soon.

I'm contemplating a small group CGC training class to be offered during the workweek at about mid-day. I have a client whose adolescent dog is ready for a group class but has limited weekend and evening availability. I'd like to start this short-notice class next week or the week after.

Is there anyone in the Oakland and Berkeley area who would be interested in this class? I would need 5 more teams to hold this class.

Also, if interested, would folks entertain attending ld two classes per week?

This would be a six-session class.

Let me know in the comments.
