Fall Events

Fall is definitely a great time for dog-friendly events!

Thanks to the staff and residents of Clarement Nursing and Rehabilitation for putting on another great event this year benefitting local rescues.  We had a great time at the 2nd annual Claremont Canine Carnival on September 6th.  The Good Dog Rising instructor team put together a "drill team" obedience performance, and even with the extreme heat that day, Laci, Nano, Gilbert, Cooper, Gil, and Seelie did great and entertained the crowd. If you happened to see us there escorted by the police, no we were not in trouble... we were just hanging out with our favorite K9 officer Deputy Val Weary who was there to do a scent detection demo with her K9 Zuza.  :)

Coming right up are two more of our favorite fall events - plan to join us, and bring your dog!

- Saturday, September 27, Furry Friends Network's "Race For Their Lives."  Always a great time having a walk for a good cause in a beautiful setting at Gifford Pinchot State Park.  You can find details at www.furryfriendsnetwork.com.  Please join our walking team!  There is same-day registration on the morning of the event.

- Sunday, September 28, Central PA Animal Alliance's "Woofstock."  A huge dog-fest with tons of vendors along Harrisburg's Riverfront Park.  Really excellent shopping and other activities, and there are always TONS of dogs and dog lovers!  GDR is volunteering to man CPAA's "Ask the Trainer" booth, so stop by and say hi!


In other news...

Stay tuned for AKC Canine Good Citizen testing - we're planning on having testing on the evening of October 25th, and the event will be posted for registration as soon as we finalize the details.  If there is interest, we will also offer the advanced CGC "Community Canine" test.
