Strut That Stuff!
DWDG Training Our club training takes place on Sunday morning
at 8:00. We go over training issues, problem areas, and what we're planning for that day. Starting with either group or
individual obedience around 8:30, we then go into the protection training venue followed tracking/area searching and/or
problem-solving. For those who wish to use the K-9 agility equipment, this may be done after training and it gives you and
your dog the time needed to work on special issues in a controlled setting. You MUST be present for obedience if you're also doing protection work! For
Club Members and Visitors...K-9 Training For February 2012 February will be a busy month assessing the new puppies
and working the new dogs which we have coming out. In addition, our training location is the Upland Golf Course outside of

partner warm. In case of rain or snow, we will cancel training.
We are currently planning
the MARCH training sessions for the Tuckahoe Steam and Gas site. It is located 5 miles south of the Rt. 404/50
intersection and on Rt 50.
