| Registration Your small registration fee is critically important! It helps pay for all sorts of support services spread throughout the event and helps keep the prices lower. Think of it as our village supporting the Specialty through each person paying a small fee, rather than raising the price for individual events. So please register and proudly wear your name tag that says, "I support my National Specialty". I know I will!--Chuck Teasley, PWDCA President | |

| Health Seminar - Tue Sept 20th Dogs are not wolves but that doesn't mean they don't sometimes act like wild animals. Aggressive behavior in the domestic dog is a very serious problem that often leads to a break down of the human-animal bond and sometimes even the euthanasia of the animal. Why do dogs bite the hand that feeds them or visitors to the home or other dogs? In this lecture Kelley will talk about why dogs sometimes act aggressively, the different types of aggression we see in dogs and what we can do to prevent and modify these disturbing and dangerous behaviors.
