Xcel Canine Training Center

04/22/2024

Another successful NACSW ORT is done for Xcel Canine Training, Inc. Debbie Regan and I would like to thank Cheryl Hedge, CO and Anita Ambani, Judge for helping us coordinate a nice day for our competitors. Everything went very smooth due to Marissa Breitenstein who was our Secretary. Her parking lot number idea worked out great! Poor Brittany Ihrig had to tape the numbers in the parking lots that were not ours, but she now has another skill under her belt. Thank you to our volunteers Daisy Holt, Dawn & Nick Librich, Tammi Potts, Catherine Konkoleski, Deb Cecotti, Gordon McGriff and Jeff Green. It was a bit chilly, but great car crating weather for the dogs. It was nice to see some faces I hadn't seen in a while. Congratulations to all that passed the Odor Recognition Test. If you didn't, you'll get it next time! Check the NACSW calendar for one that may not be so far away.

We have had some inquiries if we are opening tomorrow. Until the governor lifts that non-essential businesses can be open, we cannot open until that time. There will be no building rentals, private lessons or classes until we are given the go ahead. Take care everyone. We do not want to put anyone at risk.

Hello,

As much as Xcel training staff wanted to get one more week of classes under our belt before postponing this session for 2 weeks, it looks as though we should do so due and adhere to the request of Allegheny County. I am sorry we must postpone classes at this point in time for the safety of our patrons. We will revisit this issue and hopefully start back up again the week of March 30th. We appreciate your patronage and support during this stressful time.

Thank you all!
