CANINE AFFAIR TO HOST OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2010

CANINE AFFAIR CENTER will be hosting its first Open House on November 14, 2010. The first 50 visitors will be given “welcome bags” containing dog food/ treat coupons, dog treats, dog food samples, and holiday bandannas to mark their attendance.

There will be demonstrations of agility, obedience, rally, and freestyle  running thru out the day starting at 10:00 am with the last demonstration scheduled to start at 4:00 pm.. There will also be demonstrations of canine massage for helping your canine partner stay in shape, ready for that run in the park. (Please see attached schedule)

For added fun, those bringing their own “people/dog friendly canines” will have the chance to actually try out some of the Agility equipment and attempt the obedience moves required for Rally Obedience. Those attempting either agility or rally obedience will be rewarded with a button stating “I tried Agility at Canine Affair” or “I tried Rally at Canine Affair”. There is no age limit for those attempting agility or rally obedience so it is a chance to find out if you are ready to star on Animal Planet or need a refresher obedience course at CAC!

Canine Affair was founded by Mary Berr and Dorothy Kellerhall in Chesterland back in 2002 and since then well over 1000 canines have gone thru obedience classes and been trained in Agility and conformation. Recently freestyle has been added. Classes range from puppies aged 10 weeks and up to those pursuing advanced obedience or agility championships with their mature dogs. Conformation classes for those reaching for American Kennel Club championships and trips to the famous Westminster Dog Show are also given weekly by well-known and respected dog handlers. There really is “something for Everyone at Canine Affair Center.”

There will be “people snacks” for visitors, door prizes and there is plenty of free parking available. Follow the paw prints from Rt 306 to Mulberry to Canine Affair Center.

NO FLEXI-LEASHES and ONLY  DOG-FRIENDLY/PEOPLE–FRIENDLY  DOGS
