bark about. Hosted by the Oakland County Kennel Club and Livonia Kennel

The Michigan Winter Dog Classic showcases more than 7,000 dogs, 160+ breeds of "man's best friends" throughout the course of the event, including several breeds getting ready for the country's premier Westminster Kennel Club Dog show in February 2013. Dogs will be judged in accordance with the American Kennel Club.
For the first time in the history of the Michigan Winter Dog Classic, the annual event will feature the AKC's attraction, My Dog Can Do That! This unique attraction allows owners to bring their dogs and let them try some of the fun competitive events on the weekend of the event (Saturday, January 19 & Sunday, January 20) at the Michigan Winter Dog from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. It is FREE to take part in My Dog Can Do That! Participating dogs must be at least 6 months old and have proof of rabies vaccination. No pre-registration is required for My Dog Can Do That!
During My Dog Can Do That!, professional trainers will show owners how to get their dog started in the exciting sport of agility, which is an obstacle course for dogs. They will help owners try beginning agility equipment with their dog - plus give them some helpful obedience tips. They will also have information on where to find professional dog training classes in the local communities.
In addition to trying agility with your dog, you can test your dogs' manners and basic obedience at the AKC Canine Good Citizen tests from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday.
