Events <br />On Occasion Elk River K9 hosts trial events such as Fun Matches and Obedience Trials. <br />Fun Match Events: This is generally used as a trail run for the competitors in obedience. <br />Often conducted as a mock trial so people can prepare for the "real" show. This allows dog <br />owners to work in a more formal show ring setting so they can familiarize their dogs and <br />themselves to the sensations of a dog show. This helps dog and handler teams to achieve <br />the best possible results for their obedience show career. <br />06edience Trail Events: This is an event where a dog can be brought to test out for <br />American Kennel Club Titles, United Kennel Club Titles or additional recognized club <br />obedience event titles. Handler and dog teams would earn points and awards that enhance <br />the ability and recognition of their Champion Companion. This is a true accomplishment <br />not only for the handler, but for the dog as well. These trials are mainly held on weekends <br />and the competition is usually offered on both Saturday and Sunday. Typical hours for <br />obedience trials run from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. <br />Seminars and Community Enhancement Events: Elk River K9 hosts education seminars <br />for all levels of dog lovers. By educating the community on safety for their dogs and <br />children we hope to enhance their lives to so they are safer and happier with their <br />companion animals as well as other peoples. Each Spring we team up with local <br />veterinarians and sponsor a vaccination clinic and open house for families and friends to <br />attend to learn more about dog training, canine health and what enjoyable sports there is <br />available for their companions. <br />
