Conference Puppy Orientation


If this is your first time at an APDT Conference I can help you get the most from your Conference experience.  Please join me at the Conference Puppy Orientation on Wednesday, October 15th from 5:30 - 6:00 PM, immediately following the General Membership Meeting.

I'll go over the Conference publications, the networking and social opportunities as well as choosing educational sessions.  As a repeat Conference attendee I will try to answer your questions.  And attending the session is a great way to meet other trainers.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Orientation on Wednesday evening.
