The heavy equipment has arrived!!  The ground breaking will be soon.  I can't even express how excited I am about the new building going up on TAILS campus.  It will have a space large enough to accommodate a full size Rally O ring and many other fun and exciting new classes.  We are still looking at September or October for the Grand Opening ~ just in time for winter classes.  No more being crowed in the lobby.

Along with the training area there will also be Doggy Daycare, a grooming salon and the On-Staff vet for TAILS will have a surgery suite to accommodate the growing numbers of the low cost spay/neuter clinic.  Thank you so very much to Michelle who is making this all possible.  So very excited!

Among other news, the mayor of Highland Park has officially retracted his statement and will not be proposing a breed ban on Pit Bulls in the city.  Thanks to the global response via email the city board received opposing this movement.  Lair Scott was a huge part in this effort.  Thank you Lair for all you do and did for this movement!

Saturday classes will be starting up soon.  We will be offering additional Levels 3 & 4, a AKC Canine Good Citizen class, Adventures with TAILS (an advanced class with outings to local parks) and soon a Rally O Drop-In class.  Also going on in the community is a movement to propose a Dog Park in Sycamore.  You can find this information on Face Book to join and support the cause. 

 
The DeKalb Area is in need of a
dog park. Currently there is not anyplace for owners to take there dogs
to run and get exercise. Being an obedience instructor I can't express
enough how important this is. Some dogs really thrive on the social
interaction while others would benefit from the socializing. Please
