On October 14, 2025, the Admiral Perry Obedience Training Club presented the Borough of Wesleyville with a check for $900.00. The money went to purchase Ace Watch Dog, which is an add on software to work in conjunction with their K9 Heat Alarm Pro. This protects the dog when left in the car and gives the handler messages about temperature. The police department obtained a police dog for help in apprehending criminals, narcotics and tracking lost persons. Sgt Hawryliw, the dog’s handler, demonstrated different commands and equipment he uses with his dog. The members were given an inside view of the police vehicle.

Admiral Perry Obedience Training Club is proud to support our local communities with their dogs’ needs.

Photos from the APOTC picnic on the Victoria Princess dinner cruise on Monday, July 7, 2025
This year the members of APOTC decided to take a dinner cruise on the Victoria Princess instead of a picnic.
Twenty four members in attendance enjoyed dinner and a riverboat ride on Lake Erie. The meal was buffet style with the crew serving the delicious food.
We were able to move about the boat with the captain explaining different landmarks for the people attending the 2 hour ride.
