I am the organizer of The Centex Great Dane Meetup, a group of Great Dane lovers who get together once or twice a month to socialize, provide advice and training and most importantly, raise money to support Great Dane rescue. I am an American Kennel Club certified dog trainer, group organizer and rescue coordinator which keeps me very busy. Recently we've conducted our monthly Meetups at the Red Bud Isle dog park which has been absolutely perfect. We handed out plastic bags for people to clean up after their dogs, we gave away tennis balls and introduced ourselves to the community, it's been fantastic. The American Kennel Club's National Responsible Dog Ownership day is coming up and the Canine Good Citizen training and test go hand in hand with the "holiday". As a certified AKC trainer I am qualified to conduct this prestigious test that promotes socially acceptable dogs. We have set up a training table to provide this beneficial community training in exchange for rescue donations! My group sells hand made dog treats, tennis balls and bottled water while I conduct several 30 minute training sessions to visiting dogs and owners. Most dog owners know about this test as many apartment complexes and pet friendly hotels require the certification before a dog can stay. We set up a discrete table, and offer our services without soliciting. We clean up after ourselves and our dogs and continue to offer the pooper scoop bags to park visitors. This is an awesome privilege and a wonderful opportunity not only for my group and rescue, but for the public park visitors as well!
