In Memorium

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Carol Stevens. Carol was a member of K9 for 12 years, and a board member since 2008. It’s a hard blow to lose such a dedicated member and good friend to dogs (and many of us) in general. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband Ken and son, Tommy, who are personally devastated by this loss. Exercise finished, Carol.

Canine Good Citizen tests

The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test is offered every 4 or 5 weeks on Monday and Tuesday evenings. This test is open to the public. Check our Calendar of Events each month for the dates and times. All dogs, purebred and mixed, are eligible to earn this award that indicates the dog has good social manners. The cost for the test is $10 cash. Be sure to bring your dog's brush and use a regular collar and leash. Our Beginners/CGC classes can help you learn the necessary obedience exercises or polish up existing ones. For more info about CGC, go to the AKC's CGC web page.
