WOW!! For the first time ever we have had to suspend registrations! In just one month we have filled the space based on forms that have come in. We want to give those that have submitted forms a little more time to get their fees in. Registration may open back up based on how this goes.
Thank you so much to all of you for your support in this event!

What else is new at the Expo this year?
Canine Good Neighbor Testing!

The purpose of the Canine Good Neighbour Program test is to ensure that one of our most favoured companions, the dog, is accepted as a valued member of the community. Canine Good Neighbours can be counted on to present good manners at home, in public places and in the presence of other dogs. Canine Good Neighbour training is fun, rewarding, and useful, and can enable owners to achieve a better relationship with their dogs.
The objectives of the CKC Canine Good Neighbour program are three-fold:
1. To increase awareness and appreciation of dogs as valued, contributing members of society.
2. To assist in teaching and promoting responsible dog ownership.
3. To certify that dogs conduct themselves in a manner, which is reliable and trustworthy in situations encountered in everyday living, be it around people, at home, in public, or in the presence of other dogs.

Check out this website for more information on CGN. View requirements so you can come prepared!

This is a great opportunity and we are so excited to have Krista join us to perform these evaluations during the expo!
