Additional Seminar Information
Working participants should bring well socialized dogs to the seminar. The seminar is meant to help improve handling skills and dogs should have enough ring experience that participants may focus on learning themselves and not struggling with a puppy.
COVID Precautions: Masks are not required at this time. Cherrybrook will continue to follow national and local guidelines to protect all participants and make updates to the policy as needed.
