Vegas Valley Dog Obedience Club

The Las Vegas K-9 Foundation (LV K-9 Foundation)
is a local Las Vegas non-profit organization and it's primary objective is to provide a venue suitable for canine educational seminars, shows, trials, and training for conformation, obedience, agility, rally, barn hunt, and fly ball, as well as Meet the Breeds, Canine Good Citizen, and other canine related events and activities in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, which will be named the Las Vegas K-9 Educational and Events Center.
As a non-profit 501(c)(3), the LV K-9 Foundation will be funded by public donations, venue and equipment rentals, primarily to canine-specific organizations and individuals, in-venue event support services fees and fund-raising activities to support its operations and facility acquisition. This facility will be made available to the local organizations at reasonable and affordable rates, providing a safe and suitable space to hold our dog events and dog activities.
The Las Vegas K-9 Foundation has a GoFundMe page now. If you would like to support this much needed venue in the Las Vegas Metropolitan area, please see below :

National Animal Poison Prevention Week

The third full week in March is National Poison Prevention Week, which was started in 1962 by Congress and President John F. Kennedy.

Pets of all ages and species can find poisonous material such as plants, herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides attractive. Taking time to learn more about what is harmful to pets and how to keep them safe, is time well spent!

There are lots of good resources at their website and page.

From dogs to goats and everything in between, here at the Animal Poison Control Center, we help EVERY animal in need! Check out the top 10 animal species we helped in 2023! Which animal were you not expecting to make the list?

Peter's "Mom", Annie, wrote the following:

"This is Peter and he is very proud of how far he has improved past year with Vegas Valley Dog Obedience club :)"

Thank you, Annie! We are so glad that you and Peter are enjoying our classes and furthering your relationship with your beautiful and smart boy! 🥰

Our next class registration is April 4th!

Some good resources.....

If you’re local to Southern Nevada - or love to travel - come join us at the FETCH event this Sunday, March 3rd in Moapa Nevada. Playing fetch with your furry friend you can earn a new AKC title and get a photo with this larger than life rosette!

AKC Fetch titles were created as another activity in which owners could have fun with their dogs. Earning AKC Fetch titles provides opportunities for both physical and mental exercise. While some dogs are natural retrievers, AKC Fetch, especially at the advanced levels, will involve teaching new skills such as retrieving.

AKC Fetch is a pass-fail noncompetitive test. The four levels of titles (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Retriever) assess the ability of the dog to retrieve. In the Advanced and Retriever levels, the dog must respond correctly to signals. There is also a memory component in Advanced and Retriever because a retrieving bumper or ball is dropped (or thrown) behind a blind where it cannot be seen.
