APDT: Drinks, Thanks and Friendly Faces
We were simply amazed at how much fun everyone had at our reception last Friday night at the Association of Pet Dog Trainers conference in Covington, Kentucky. Food, drinks, great friends and good conversation ruled the night to such a degree that we’re considering hosting even more receptions like this next year.

Demand was so great that we had to upgrade at the last minute to a larger room!

If you attended, please take a moment and tell us about your experience in the “comments” section below. If you know of a similar conference where you think such a reception would be appropriate, please list that as well. We truly value our extended family of students, grads and mentor trainers. The strength of our school and the credibility of our certifications comes from having an enthusiastic, involved crowd that endorses us and their own hard work. With our most sincere thanks, we at ABC raise our glasses to you in thanks!
