As dog people, especially women, we travel hundreds of thousands of miles. Often alone, driving on Mad Max highways for days, in sketchy neighborhoods and dark rest stops. Be better prepared. Learn from a trained professional how to stay safe and protect yourself.
This clinic is open to all exhibitors coming in for Tacoma Kennel Club or even if you aren’t coming for the show. There is a firm limit on the number of participants.
