Growth Spurt

By Sheri Soltes, THSD Founder & President

Sdao Workshop in Aug
Our first Guest Speaker Seminar, August 11 & 12, 2007

Since we purchased the property in late 2004, we have built a 4800 square foot Training Building & Visitors Center and two state-of-the-art two kennel buildings.

The Visitors Center is available for rental for children’s birthday parties, conferences and other events. Featuring 3600 square feet in the main area, it boasts a state-of-the-art audio visual system including a 14 foot screen and ceiling mounted projector. It can run everything from movies to Power Point presentations to music to a website. It also has a kitchen area for light catering.

Tours
THSD offers tours to students and other groups.  Tours include a video presentation, meeting the trainers and a tour of the kennels.

Minimum group – 10 people

Price:  $4/child; $6/adult
