Working Dog and Training Workshop

[TurboK9]

An aquaintance of mine is going to be the guest speaker at a workshop in Bowie, MD August 7th. This is an open event, anyone can attend / participate, so I thought I'd put the word out. Should be edumacational. There is a charge for participation and testing for the offered certs. So if Vrai decides this is an advertisement it may get deleted
