Sniffing acrossthecountry... PWDCC Beginner and Advanced Land Training Workshops in Ontario
from 2023 Waterlog July
Saturday June 3rd
We would like to say a huge “Thank You” to all the dog/handler teams who joined us for the PWDCC Ontario Land Training Workshops June 3rd, 2023!
Both The Beginner and the Advanced level dog/handler teams were very impressive!
We were very fortunate this year to have esteemed Water Trial Judge Lorie Crouch as our instructor for the Advanced Level Participants. Thank you Lorie!

The Beginner Camp was Instructed by Brawna Levy, who has years of water training experience! Thank you Brawna!
We would especially like to commend The Beginners, as it was clear that they have all invested a lot of time into the training and socialization of their dogs! Getting a group of 20+ dogs together in an indoor facility, and every single dog being friendly, well mannered, quiet and SO well-behaved.... this was an absolute joy!
Thank You to The Ontario Dry Land Camp Committee! They are a wonderful, hard-working group of volunteers, and without them the Ontario Water Program would not be possible!
