Note from a Student
Sportsmen’s Dog Training Club of Detroit, Inc. 1930 Tobsal Ct. Warren, MI Dear Barb Popyk, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Sportsmen’s Dog Training Club for an excellent Beginner Dog Obedience experience for our two dogs, Max and Beemer. Rene’ Sutton is an outstanding trainer who has a special gift of relating to dogs and people. She was able to “win Beemer over” after a previous traumatic experience at another training facility. Rene’ modeled the correct manner in which to handle our dogs with the help of her beautifully trained Duncan. She was an inspiration to us throughout our six-week experience. We have now signed up for Good Canine Citizen Training Class at Sportsmen’s. I am sure Rene’ will be a hard act to follow, but we are so happy to have found Sportsmen’s and hope to continue for many more successful class experiences. With gratitude, Steve and Mary Murphy Max and Beemer cc: Rene’ Sutton

CPR SEMINAR The Seminar was a great success. There were ten members and four groomers. The four hours went quickly with a short break and lunch. Just a few of the things were learned were how to do CPR on our stuffy dogs, how to muzzle a dog, what to put in a first aid kit and the Snout to Tail Assessment of our dogs. A booklet and certificate were given to all who attended. Would we do it again?? You bet. Thanks to Lara Latshaw for her knowledge and enthusiasm. If it weren't for Chip Black there would not be a seminar. It was her idea. Again, thanks to Chip for her generous donation for our lunch and breakfast. Mary Jane Woodworth helped me set up the tables and helped with the lunch. Virginia Smith, unsolicited, helped me clean up! Thanks to all. We discussed making a First Aid kit for dogs for the club and also selling kits for both small and large dogs as a fundraiser. Need a committee for that!!! Barbara ! 8; Chip CPR Committee
