KNOW A CLUB MEMBER IN NEED?

If anyone knows of a PBGVCA member who 

has lost a loved one, is sick or is just in need of 

cheering up, the PBGVCA would like to send a 

card expressing our best wishes.  Contact the 

Hallmark Committee Chair, Sandy Bustin at 

sbustin@verizon.net.  Sandy will make sure a 

card is sent on behalf of the membership.  This 

Hallmark service is free for our members.  Help 

us let them know they are not alone during 

their difficult time.

• want to have some “other people” gloves to train with.  It’s best to use a glove scented by someone outside of your 

household for this, as your family members likely use the same cleaning products and eat the same foods.

• Handler discrimination is the only element where a handler can run multiple dogs in the same class because the 

hide is placed in the same spot every time.

• For novice, you can use the same glove at every trial.  I have been training and competing with the same glove 

since the AKC program was announced in early 2017.   My glove at this point is pretty disgusting, but my dogs have 

little trouble finding it.

What are you waiting for?  Go train your dog!
