Barn hunt
This is an introductory Workshop to the new sport of Barn Hunt. Your dog will start to learn what the quarry smells like, work on climbing the straw bales and tunneling skills. We will focus on marking the quarry and handling techniques. All this helps prepare you for your first test, by explaining procedures and the Barn hunt rules.
Training opportunities for the Barn hunt beginner to experience dogs working to complete their RATN title.
In a small group, you will be lead step by step from the concept of recognizing the rat in the tube to finding the hidden rat tube in the straw bails. Your dog can discover his natural hunting instincts in a safe and constructive way.
Mark your calendar for June 25 & 26, 2016 closing date is June 15, 2016. This event will be held at 12900 Winston Church Blvd., Terra Cotta, Ontario

The Leonberger Club of Ontario presents a special, in depth seminar on…
“The Leonberger”
Presented by Mary Decher
When: Sunday October 24, 2010
Mary Decher has been involved in the breed since 1982 when she and her family saw their first Leonberger while living in Germany. They returned home to America shortly afterwards with a female puppy who literally changed their lives. Eventually, they located several other Leo owners, called a meeting in 1985 in Denver, and formed an Independent Leonberger Club that has just celebrated its 25th year. Through the years Mary has been, and still is, an active member, breeder / stud owner, officer, and past president of the club, as well as an LCA judge. She has participated in several German judging clinics looking at the Leonberger. Her most recent accomplishment was the development and publication of “The Leonberger: An Illustrated Breed Standard.”
