Boot Camp is a basic, novice obedience course and socialization class, which is offered to rescued dogs on a DONATION BASIS. We meet on Sundays in Deer Valley Park (North 19th Avenue & the 101 Loop). Time for class will be posted here each week. Sunday, July 5th - 7:00 p.m. Sunday, July 12th - 7:30 p.m. DIRECTIONS TO BOOT CAMP WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ATTENDING BOOT CAMP - EQUIPMENT LIST

SUMMER BOOT CAMP As is our usual practice, unless we can find a suitable INDOOR facility that's willing to be invaded by our class every Sunday evening, Boot Camp will be going on hiatus some time in July. We will resume with our annual kick-off BBQ and get together in September...I think Doug and Wendy volunteered for this one. We'll see. If you know of a facility that would allow us to train all summer, please let Bert or Nancy know. In the meantime, class dates/times will continue to be posted here each week.

CGC TESTING RESULTS CONGRATULATIONS to Tank, Hawk, Emma, Trinity, Ellie, Star, Zack and Kona on passing their CGC Tests!!

Bert's calm, leadership ways have brought many a fractious dog through their evaluation (Chekota is currently attending Boot Camp with her adoptive family and doing well)
