Have you ever wondered about the obedience scores you’ve received— what the judge saw that caused you to lose all those points? Here’s your opportunity to find out. Popular obedience judge, instructor, and fellow NCA member, Anna Lorenz, has volunteered to share the “secrets” of what judges are trained to watch for when you are exhibiting in the ring. Join Anna and fellow obedience enthusiasts (no dogs) for an interesting and enlightening seminar at the hotel on Thursday afternoon at 3:00 p.m.
