It’s that time of year!  Canine Good Citizenship testing will be held on Saturday, February 19th, beginning at 10am.  CGC Testing is open to all dogs, purebred or mixed breed, and is an excellent assessment of your dog’s basic obedience training.

You do not have to have been a student at The Kinetic Canine in order to sign up for testing.

For more information about the test, and to get a description of the test items, visit: http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/training_testing.cfm

Cost for the test is $10.  To sign up for your 10 minute time slot, e-mail Elizabeth at trainer@kinetic-canine.com or call 512-686-3050.

If you think your dog needs some practice before testing, a new Advanced class starts TOMORROW, Thursday Jan 27th from 7-8pm.  This 6 week class will prepare you and your dog for testing!

Due to rain delays, the Tracking for Fun! Seminar that was to be held on January 16th, has been rescheduled for Sunday, January 30th, from 11am-1:30pm.  We still have a few spots available, so if you’re interested, please contact Elizabeth as soon as possible.  The seminar introduces each dog and handler team to the basics of tracking, preparing them for further instruction at our tracking drop-ins.  Cost for working teams is $50; $25 to audit.
