A Note About Our Special speaker

Cathy Bruce, owner of Canine Country Academy, located in Lawrenceville 
and West Athens, has been training and helping dogs with behavior  
problems for
the last 13 years.   Her skills from her prior acting career on Broadway 
make her a dynamic speaker and educator. She has trained with some of 
the top
expert trainers, behavior consultants and Tellington Touch instructors 
in the country, is certified through the Certification Council of Pet 
Dog Trainers
and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants.

Tellington Touch is a tool that anyone working with dogs or anyone who 
owns a dog would benefit from.  The applications for Tellington Touch in 
canine
behavior modification and building a more trusting relationship with a 
dog are endless.  In this hour long presentation, Cathy will be giving a 
broad overview
of some of these applications and usage of Tellington Touch techniques 
with our canine companions.

Assistance with Travel to our meetings:  We realize that it can be 
expensive for guide dog handlers to attend GGDU meetings that are held 
far from where
you live. If you will be traveling a long distance to attend this 
meeting, GGDU can provide limited funds to help with your travel costs. 
You will need
to cover some of the expense yourself, but GGDU can also pay up to $50 
directly to your driver. Please make your request, with an explanation 
of your situation,
to President Betsy Grenevitch at least one week in advance of the 
meeting, and we ask that you request funds only once during a calendar 
year. Travel assistance
is available to both members and

prospective members of GGDU.

If you have any questions please contact Betsy Grenevitch
