Dog wins trophy
Members of the Back Mountain
Kennel Club. are sponsoring a
unique program on Saturday, Oct.
12. While most kennel club events
have something to do with show
dogs, this one, to be held in Pome-
roy’s Community Room, Wyoming
Valley Mall, is about the average
family dog.
The club has invited Barbara Axel
and Anne Glaser, two expert dog
trainers from Long Island, to
explain and demonstrate how to
choose, care for, train, and groom
man’s best friend, which is just as
often a mixed-breed as a pure-bred.
Mrs. Axel and Mrs. Glazer believe
that gentle training should be
started when puppies are very
young and most able to learn the
right things in the right sequence.
They will show their original slide
presentation, ‘‘Right from the
Start,” which indicates how they
have done this with their own dogs
and how others can do it with theirs.
They call what they teach dogs and
puppies ‘‘practical obedience,”
because it is not for competition at
shows - it is for getting along in real
life.
Mrs. Axel and Mrs. Glaser will
talk about how different kinds of
dogs fit in with different kinds of
people. They will tell about how to
prepare for a new dog, and what
kind of equipment to have. They
will discuss how children and dogs
get along with each other. They will
talk about spaying, neutering and
breeding. And they will devote a
great deal of time to the problems
that people have with their dogs and

to the answering of specific ques-
tions. On hand to demonstrate the
practical application of what is dis-
cussed and recommended will be
four dogs belonging to Mrs. Axel
and Mrs. Glaser - two Dachshunds,
a German Shepherd, and a Border
Collie.
Linda Weber, Back Mountain’s
Recording Secretary, has been help-
ing people train their dogs for about
35 years and she has owned Dober-
man Pinschers for longer than that.
A resident of Sweet Valley, Mrs.
Weber says that she is looking
forward to learning more herself at
the presentation by seeing how Mrs.
Axel and Mrs. Glaxer explain and
demonstrate to the audience. She
says, too, that she hopes that people
who are having problems with their
dogs will be helped to find solutions.
As a service to the people and
dogs of the community, Back Moun-
tain is offering this program at a
fee of only $2.00 per person.
Although the presentation will run
possible for people to attend for only
part of the day. However, everyone
who is interested is urged to call in
advance, to make sure that there is
still room. ;
Club members emphasize that no
dogs other than those belonging to
the speakers are to be taken to the
presentation. More information may
be obtained by calling 472-9102, 288-
