Welcome to Commonwealth Dog Obedience Training Club's first blog!
First I'd like to recognize our members who received awards at our Annual Banquet in January for putting performance titles on their dogs in 2011.
We had a great dinner at Sanzone's restaurant in Stuarts Draft.
Club members can choose either a plaque or a crate tag for their award. Here are a few happy members with their awards:

Club member Elaine has been busy tracking this winter and her hard work paid off double in the last few weeks. First, Elaine & Madison (above) passed their TD on Jan 23, 2012 at the Tarheel Weimaraner Club in Alton, Va.
CDOTC has a number of members interested in tracking and there is a tracking seminar planned for October. Hopefully we will be bragging on more tracking titles this year!
