Thanks to everyone who came out to the Trial this past weekend. A big Thank you to all the judges: Kathy, Rachel and Kat. And to Alyssa for getting all the scores in so quickly. If I owe you a response on something, I will get back to you soon. My car broke down coming home from the trial. Dogs, Rats and I are all safe but it has taken up all my time the last few days dealing with things related to it.

Lessons in OC at www.ocdogsports.com today. There is still openings if you want to get in for a spot.

No other lessons available this week till i get my car back.

Hey All Here is my Training Calendar for September. I do offer Scentwork classes in addition to NASDA. There are some variances and always possible of changes if I get called for work or the dates currently scheduled get changed.

OC Dog Sports - Southern California Dog Training I am not there this Wednesday 9/2 due to DGA Meeting that day. I have a makeup day scheduled for Monday, 9/7 on Labor day if you are looking for something to escape the heat with your dog. I will also be there Wednesday 9/9. I will be there Thursday 9/17 instead of Wednesday 9/18. The rest of the month I am there on Wednesdays.

If you want to schedule a Scentwork or NASDA Private lesson please reach out. I have had interest expressed in Scentwork Lessons in the San Fernando Valley where I actually live. I would be happy to offer them if I had a place to train so if anyone has access to something reach out to me.

Also I have some weekend availability for the rest of the year for Judging assignments, workshops or training lessons. Please reach out if you want to schedule something.
