Canine activities at Spring Fling

Master Gerald Goodwine posted this to the Calontir List:

New! Canine Activities, please feel free to bring your dog and join in the fun…so long as they play and work well with others…

ALL DOG BREEDS ARE WELCOME

It will be a day jam packed full of ideas. The overall mindset will be to get out and start training your dog with a finger pointing to a period direction. Schedule changes for court times and class additions. We may have an opportunity at Cattle Raids (Aug.) at the same site.

  • 9:30 Meet and greet.
  • 10:00 Weight pull harness making: Early in the day so people could multitask/work on harness for the weight pull class. I will have all the materials needed. I will have harnesses but not guaranteed to fit your dog.
