A Glimpse at Structure in Action

 

This part day workshop brings in elements of Puppy Puzzle evaluation and carries through adolescence to adulthood, to educate on what it takes to have the very best dog possible for whatever you would like to do with it.

It doesn’t matter if it is going to spend its life on the couch, be in a breeding program, in the show ring, weaving poles, coursing or pulling a sled, it needs to be the best it can be.
