It's hard to believe that it's already been a full year since we first opened our doors. With so much change, so much growth and such a bright future we are grateful to have had the opportunity to bring Finish Forward Dogs to life!
Since our Grand Opening on March 7th, 2010, we have marked continued growth on a monthly basis. Our training team has grown to include 8 area trainers, plus several guest speakers and instructors. Our pet dog and specialty class menus continue to grow and our dog sport options have expanded to include agility, breed handling, rally, weight pull, freestyle, tricks and nosework just to name a few. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with area AKC and UKC dog clubs, hosting multiple events in rally and obedience, in addition to holding a total of 10 APDT Rally Trials, over 2 weekends! In July of this year we will extend our event hosting to include sanctioned Conformation shows.
It's been a pleasure working with local businesses and non-profit organizations like Chase Away K9 Cancer and most recently, The Community Spay-Neuter Clinic of Freeport to raise money for low cost neutering. We have numerous events coming up that are always open to the public, including our Dog Walk to End Canine Cancer and our American Temperament Test Society Test in late April. Between Show & Gos, Run-Throughs, Fun Days and special events, we've been busy planning activities for the local dog community.
The past twelve months have been remarkable, thanks to our trainers, the public and our dedicated clients. One thing is clear to us - success comes from surrounding yourself with like-minded people who share a commitment to all things dog. Our goal for 2011 is to continue expanding our services and options for all of Southern Maine's dog loving community!
And now with a new addition to the Finish Forward Dogs family on the way, we're gearing up for even more exciting change - watch for 'Making Room for Baby' classes, coming soon!
Thank you for your support!
