Fort St. Clair Kennel Club will be meeting tonight at the KFC at 1200 N. Barron St. in Eaton, Ohio at 7 p.m. As always, guests are welcome! We’ll be talking about things we might consider to improve our show and also making plans for our August picnic.
Two sets of new training classes start on Monday, June 3rd at the Preble County Fairgrounds, 722 S. Franklin St. Eaton, Ohio!
A Beginning Obedience/Puppy Manners class starts at 7 p.m. in the Sheep Pavilion. Taught by Lori Genaw, the class focuses on teaching your dog the basics– walking nicely on a leash, sit, stand, lie down and come . . . all essentials for happier living with your dog!
Cost is $50 for 6 weeks of classes, payable at the first class. If your dog came from the Humane Society of Preble County, you can take the classes for just $25 for the series! Children 12 and up are welcome, but need to be accompanied by a parent.
Additionally, a new series of drop-in conformation classes will start on Monday at 7:15. Classes are for beginners (handlers and/or dogs) or just those wanting a little “tune-up” before the summer show season. Classes last an hour, and will cover ring procedure, equipment, hand-stacking, free-stacking, judge’s examination and gaiting patterns. Free to members, or $5 per class for guests.
Had a note from a last year’s defending Brace champion that she was hoping for late ring time on Sunday so that she can both attend a nearby specialty the day before– and we will certainly ask the folks in the judging schedule department to schedule that breed (Flat Coats) as late in the day on Sunday as they can. If anyone else has a schedule conflict or a breed conflict they’d like to avoid, please let me know and I will forward these requests to the superintendent. While we cannot absolutely guarantee that we will get what we ask for, they do work really hard to try to accommodate our requests, and so far, no one has been disappointed. You can post a note on our Facebook page , leave a comment here, or send me an email directly to fsckc@earthlink.net.
Due to the inclement weather, conformation training classes are CANCELLED for tonight. We will add in an extra class on April 15th. Stay home and stay safe folks!
