As poorly behaving dogs is one of the principal reasons dogs are surrendered and euthanized, this education is essential to prevent cruelty to animals. The organization urges individuals who rescue dogs from the pound to sign up for one or more of their classes to increase the likelihood that dogs will not be surrendered back to the pound. 10273 37455 The ultimate test of how well the person has learned to train their dog can be seen when they and their dog get to socialize and to compete with each other in the various venues (principally obedience and agility). To encourage this, the organization puts on regular opportunities to socialize the dogs in a controlled setting, such as trials and matches. One of the regular offerings at the annual matches is the ability of the handlers to enter a Canine Good Citizen test. This shows that the dog has acquired the skills necessary to co-exist in our society. 9655 1707 In addition to classes, the organization conducts monthly meetings that are open to the public. Each meeting has a speaker or speakers to educate the public on some aspect of care and training of dogs. The organization also has a monthly club newsletter. 186845 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false true true false true true false false true true false false false false false false false CA X X TOBY MOUCHETTE 3108516350 2355 WESTWOOD BLVD PMB 830 Los Angeles CA 90064 X Nancy Lovendosky President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Crystal Santana Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Judith Brecka Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Toby Mouchette Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sharisse Chavez Programs Director 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carol Solomon Obedience Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Izumi Ombudsman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 1956 1956 Agility Classes 900099 112399 112399 Obedience 900099 57055 57055 CPE Trials 900099 7583 7583 MatchEvent 900099 13192 13192 190229 160 160 372 372 372 Rally 900099 13895 13895 Awards Dinner 900099 1175 1175 Conformation 900099 2785 2785 17855 210572 208616 0 0 187 187 720 720 270 270 3022 3022 2996 2996 Trainers 98595 98595 Trials and MatchesPark 70466 70466 Equipment and Storage 5134 5134 Donations 2750 2750 2892 2892 187032 186845 187 0 108834 130206 95691 92341 72 204597 222547 0 0 X 204597 222547 204597 222547 204597 222547 23540 -5590 0 X false false false X 5020 3665 3079 2395 1956 16115 180709 227185 223583 185871 190229 1007577 185729 230850 226662 188266 192185 1023692 1023692 1295 303 213 146 160 2117 1295 303 213 146 160 2117 4382 250 5387 7399 17855 35273 191406 231403 232262 195811 210200 1061082 0.96480 0.97790 0.00000 0.00300 X Members or stockholder classes and rights Part VI line 6 THE ORGANIZATION HAS MEMBERS WHO PAY DUES.
