Class registration Next Monday!

Posted on by Gem City WebAdmin

Lately there have been some pains being able to register for classes. This is greatly disturbing our customers, and as the only way to fix it would be to have servers like Amazon, and let’s face it, we aren’t Amazon, and can’t afford those servers!

Starting this session PUPPY, PUPPY GRAD, BEGINNER OBEDIENCE, and ADVANCED BEGINNER OBEDIENCE will open on Monday.

ALL OTHER OBEDIENCE CLASSES WILL OPEN ON TUESDAY!

As always, Agility registrations are done by mail, and that form is currently on the website and available to print out and mail in.

Please! Let any of your friends who don’t bother to read our emails or who aren’t members know! The fewer people we have hitting refresh trying to get in to a Barn Hunt or Rally class on Monday morning the easier it will be for our new customers!

Eastway Boys Christmas!

Posted on by Gem City WebAdmin

Happy Holidays!!It’s that time year again Gem City Dog Club will be providing a little Christmas cheer for the Eastway Boys Group Home next to Gem City’s Dog Club Building on Northcutt. Each year we provide about 25 Games & Puzzles, so each boy has a gift to open. We also try to provide 1 or 2 large gifts that all the boys can enjoy throughout the year. We will be accepting donations made out to Gem City Dog Obedience Club. Last year we were able to purchase a Tablet & Xbox Gaming System with 2 Controllers and a gift card to purchase additional games. Below are Pictures of the tablet, xbox and some of the puzzles and games that were delivered to the boys for Christmas.

Please contact Terri Hendrix at acdog2@yahoo.com with your donation amount so we know what to budget for this year. I will be trialing at Queen City this weekend and Gem City the following weekend.

Thank you.

Terri
