In addition to great food and great company we will have Ms. Amie Gavin Glasgow owner of Oscar Winning Behavior, certified pet trainer and behavioral specialist to talk about boredom busting and brain games for our dogs along with training tips and tricks we can all use to help with all of our performance efforts!
