All clubs have growing pains and ours is no exception, and it usually involves a conflict about our agility program. We all know that our agiity trial brings in money for the club, but because of AKC rules about equipment, it seems we are constantly having to upgrade to their standards. We have had a lot of expense doing this and will have much more in the coming months. We recently upgraded our agiity trailer with rollers and other storage means to help with loadiing and off loading equipment. Many new jumps have been built and others have been repaired. Many thanks to Ralph Orlando and Ray Stites for spending many hours doing this, and thank you Janet Berry for allowing the trailer to be stored at your home while this was being done. At our next meeting we will be going over what new purchases we will need to make for our trial and other matters concerning our agility trial. !!Brandy Schmid is holding another Dog Obedience, “Leadership Seminar”, detail and registration are on page 6. The Seminar will be on three Tuesday nights from 6:30 to 8:30, please get your reservations in early. This seminar is "FREE" if you taught a full session Class at the training center in the last 6 months. You are encouraged strongly to take advantage of this!Seminar.  It is not mandatory  but again suggested.!!See you at the September meeting,!

Attention OCOD Members: Important Information about our Training Center

!We were recently informed that the property owners of the shopping center (Derby

Plaza) that houses our training center is selling each of the condo units by creating a

business condo arrangement. OCOD has been given the opportunity to purchase the

space we currently lease. There are still many questions we need to ask and calculating

that needs to be done but the preliminary figures look promising.

We all enjoy the high quality training experience of an in-door, air conditioned space. And

the size of the space we have is almost unheard of among dog clubs. If we do not

purchase our unit, it will be sold to someone else eventually and they could decide to not

renew our lease.

We also know there are few places that welcome dogs and even fewer that welcome

dogs that we can afford. This is likely to be our only opportunity to fulfil the dream of

many of our members and own a building of our own.

Important information will be shared and discussed during the September and October

meetings and we must reach a decision and vote soon. All interested members are

urged to attention the membership meetings held on the 2nd Monday of each month.

!Pat Mozden,

OCOD Public Education Chair
