Council Review

Council will review the 1 year old dog on leash in parks ordinance. Council needs to know that you support the change - please come and speak in your dog's behalf. Police Chief Ehle reports that there have been no complaints, although enforcement has increase and 69 licensing tickets, and 22 dog on beach tickets were issued.

New Board Members
-----------------
We would like to welcome new board members, Kathy Kelly and Becky Brady. Kathy can be found down on the Esplanade almost daily with her Bernese Mountain Dog, Sadie and her Yorkie, Kipper. Becky is the owner of Moondoggies and is well cared for by her rare Coton de Tulears, Mia and Milo. Both Kathy and Becky have been very active in the dog community and we look forward to having them on our Board!

2003 Calendar
-------------
Springtime Parade!
------------------
We are planning great things for our springtime gala parade! Better start planning your costumes now. Here's a hint - several of the winners had dog/owner look alike costumes. We are hearing rumors of a canine wedding being planned for that day!

Meet the Trainer
----------------
Trainer - Cherie Maitland of Our Furry Friends
Sat January 11th, 2003, 2 PM at Moondoggies
Bring your behavior questions about the challenges you face with your dog:
Digging, Barking, Socialization, House Breaking, Destructiveness, Reliable Recall (Come Command)

Look forward to 'Meet the Trainer' events every other month at Moondoggies in 2003!

Canine Good Citizen Tests
-------------------------
Plans are in the works to hold Canine Good Citizen Tests at Pet Pals in 2003. If your dog can walk by your side without lunging, stand still while you greet someone and allow their feet to be touched, these are some of the activities they will be tested on. If you would like to receive a brochure or more information, contact us.

Community Clean Ups
-------------------
C-DOG will be holding clean up days in 2003 every other month.

We continue to need to lend a bag to the folks who forget theirs, to maintain our canine good citizen's reputation. The Esplanade Park (both upper and lower) needs special attention as it is a popular hang out. If you can't make it to a clean up day, just clean up as you walk your dog. It all helps!

2002 in Review
--------------
Capitola celebrated our first ever canine Easter parade in March and it was a huge success with press coverage and attendees from Monterey to the San Francisco area. Several attendees from 'over the hill' walked off with some of our big prizes - leaving us with a challenge!

We held 3 Meet the Trainer events this year and 10 Community Clean Up Days. The events received press coverage all over the county and were well attended.
