Do you love your dog?  Do you want a better trained dog?  Do you want to have more interaction with your dog?   Everyone wants a well-mannered pup; here’s your opportunity to learn some basic commands and get Fido off the couch. Burlington County Kennel Club members will present a crowd-pleasing demonstration (with their awesome dogs) of basic obedience skills, and some fun tricks that you can do too!

We want to inspire everyone to interact their dogs.  Earn a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate (offered by the AKC) when your dog performs ten basic skills that every dog should learn!   Enjoy training your dog, and learn some tricks too!  This is a demonstration only, so do not bring your dog for training or testing at this time.

The Burlington County Kennel Club always welcomes new members who are interested in showing and/or training their dogs, or just learning more about dogs.  The club does not offer training classes, except breed handling, but we can point you in the right direction if you want to learn more to teach your dog!  We meet the first Wednesday of every month (except July and August) at 7:30pm at the Moorestown Community House.

This month:   More about “M”

• To marry or not to marry, that is the question!  How were single women treated throughout American history?  The same question about married women.  Some single women were major movers and shakers.  When they married, women lost all their rights and property.  When did that change?  Maiden name?  What does that mean?

The Jungle Book is based on Rudyard Kipling’s fanciful stories of India. The kindly old wolf, Akela, and the steadfast bear, Baloo, rescue a baby who is lost in the jungle. They protect Mowgli from the tiger Shere Khan and teach him the rules of the jungle. Through a series of adventures and misadventures, the animals learn that the boy is better off living among people. Holding on to the lessons that he has learned in the jungle, Mowgli find a home and family in the village. Two actors play all the parts in this delightfully creative production.
