One step further, not just training, making everyone in the venue they are interested in have a voice in the club and all are on equal footing. I know I have mentioned we have members of our GSD club that don't own GSD's, and they sit on our board and have as much input as any one else. They are valued members that have helped get OB and Rally judges, and have wonderful idea's. Common interest.......dogs. Common goal ...........show and work dogs. It's all about the people............and the dogs.
