DVD Networking

Let the networking begin!

You arrive at the Galt House on Tuesday,  After you check into the hotel, head over to the Conference registration on the 2nd floor and pick up your tote bag and workbook.  Now is the time to reconnect with old friends and meet some new ones.

We'll have a cash bar and a video player set up.  You bring a DVD of your dog doing something funny or bad.  Or show off a great agility run, freestyle routine, puppies playing or a great game from your classes.  We are here to learn about dogs and to network with other trainers.  What better way to start off your conference experience than to meet up with fellow trainers, enjoy some videos of dogs and share a few laughs.

DVD Networking will be held Tuesday, October 14 from 5:00-7:00 PM
