Upcoming Conferences

"I have been attending various K9 classes every year for 7 years. Some of those were the mega-conferences in the desert. I grew tired of so many handlers and such little time. Last year I attended an ASCT conference for the first time and I was amazed. I learned more in 3 days than the previous 7 years. I will stay with ASCT from now on because I'm looking for training and not a vacation. Thanks again. You guys are what K9 is supposed to be about!"
