Location: 216 Mowbray Road, Silver Spring, MD 20904

Time: 7:30 PM networking; 8 PM meeting.

Program: “The new AKC Temperament” and “Farm Dog Certification.” The AKC Temperament Test (ATT) was developed to bring focus and provide a meaningful evaluation to assess the temperament of our canine companions. The ATT tests how a dog reacts to a variety of stimuli. Desirable traits are that the dog will be emotionally stable, inquisitive, cooperative, appropriately social for its breed, biddable and demonstrates the ability to recover from a startling situation in a reasonable amount of time. Members will be provided with an explanation of each test, score sheets and a video description of what to expect.
