"PUPPY RAISER CONFERENCE"

 

Six members of the TriCounty Puppy Raisers group attended the Puppy Raiser's Conference held at the Southeastern Guide Dogs campus.

Carl and Marsha Tyner along with

"Mark 2J12"

The conference was so well organized!

The presentations were informative and we learned something new at each one. We  met other puppy raisers from the different groups that were attending the conference, shared our experiences, laughed often, and made new friends.
