CGCA test tonight at Phelps Grove park. Lucy, Max, Indy and Alice earned their CGCA titles w AKC. SMDTC is so proud to celebrate this achievement for these teams. 50 years of training classes .... and helping owners w their dogs. It is nights like these we are proud to celebrate. Next week they will take their CGCU test. Tonight we had to deal w bees, chicken wings in the grass, squirrels, pizza for 100 at the pavilion, walnuts that looked like tennis balls, sooo many walkers w their own dogs and lots of smelly trash cans! These four teams took all this in stride and earned their new AKC titles! The last picture is w their winning ribbon for tonight’s job well done! Thank you to Cheryl Dorsey, Darlene Hughson (insts) and Ladina Vanzant (evaluater)
