Saturday & Sunday
2025 Events Are Still Developing
Registration starts Saturday morning, June 22nd at the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog booth
Our training philosophy is simple. We work with the dog in front of us utilizing positive training methods. There is never any force, pain, or fear involved in our training as it is not necessary to achieve the desired results. We want our dogs to be willing participants in our relationship. After all, our dogs are our best friends and love us unconditionally. We owe it to them to reciprocate that trust and build our relationship together. All of our programs and activities are designed to fulfill your dog's mental, physical and social well being.
