A few more Awards

The Training Committee of Wendy McCleery & Jeanne Rankin would like to

THANK everyone who has volunteered as an Instructor. Without YOU we wouldn’t be able

to hold the training classes we do!

If anyone is interested in becoming an instructor or an assistant, PLEASE contact Wendy at

info@gsldtc.com.

We are ALWAYS looking for new people to join the instructor pool. Our classes are very

popular and MANY times over flowing. It helps to have numerous instructors so we can

split classes and do not have to turn anyone away.

Below is Wendy & Jeanne handing out Instructor THANK YOU gifts.

As of right now, our classes are still on hold until we know more about how the remodel

of the Armory is going. Currently the Armory is just a shell with wires hanging from the

ceilings and generators for power. Just way to dangerous for ANYONE not on the construc-

tion crew to be there. Not only does the GSLDTC pride itself on it’s training classes, but

also the safety of all participates and their dog/s. So please bare with us and rest assured we

will let you know when it is safe enough to resume our classes.

No classes are held in January please watch the club’s Facebook page and /or the club’s website for the next

class sign up to be held in 2016. Due to the remodeling of the Armory it has been to dangerous for anyone to be

there.

Everyone should be VERY PROUD of all you’ve done in 2015 with your dog/s. We had a

large amount of Awards and Certificates to give out to members who have earned titles on

their dog/s. Catherine Beattie states we almost DOUBLED what was given in 2014. That’s

A LOT of titles and most impressive was the number of members who earned multiple

titles on multiple dogs!

HUGE Congrats to ALL!!!
