Rodeo Dog is coming to Kudos for Canines in Normal, IL! Join me Sunday August 17 from 1-4pm to learn all about the games, rules, equipment, and more. What's so great about Rodeo Dog? It's perfect for people of all ages with dogs of all ages, even with no dog sport experience. It's also great for dogs who have "retired" from other sports because there is no jumping or climbing.

Working spots are $60; audit spots are $25

What does your dog training instructor do to meet your needs? Last week in our 'Study Hall' group class, participants worked on helping their dogs overcome fears from objects that make noise and have wheels.

Our August session schedule is was sent to our past/current participants on our distribution list. PM me or Danielle Stuber to get the links. They will be available to the public on the website soon, so don't wait. Some classes are already full!

* Reliable Recallers Workshop *
This Thursday, April 17th, 6:00-8:00pm

Teaching a dog to come when called is arguably the single most important thing you can teach them. Join us for a 2-hour mini workshop covering tips and tricks for achieving a reliable recall with your dog!

Working spots are full, but you can still get all of the information by auditing (without your dog)!

Audit spots are just $25. Auditing is FREE to any current staff or volunteers with any animal shelter or rescue group. (Use the code "RESCUE" when you register to waive the registration fee, and indicate which organization you are with!)

Check those fences and gates BEFORE.you let the dogs out. Make sure they are wearing their collars with a CHARGED GPS or ID tags. If they are atorm sensitive, create a space where rhey are comfortable. Have an extra crate in your basement ready for tornado season. Keep vaccinations records in a waterproof, safe place
