The club is excited to announce we are hosting a Vehicle Workshop with Christina Bunn in Mt. Vernon.

Christina Bunn is the owner and master trainer of Puget Sound Detection Dogs. Christina has been training detection dogs for over 18 years and has owned and operated her own facility for over 12 of those years. Christina has been an instructor at the Pacific Northwest Police Detection Dog Association’s conference for the last 10 years. Christina is a volunteer for Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue and has served in many capacities for 18 years.

With over 45 collective years in the working and companion dog realm, Christina has worked with humane societies, boarding kennels, and veterinarian hospitals. She is a Canine Good Citizen/STAR Puppy/AKC Tricks Evaluator, Certified Nose Work Instructor and Trial Judge. She teaches 7 sport detection classes a week for all levels from intro to Elite. Having the great honor of judging at the first National NACSW trial in 2013, Christina is known for saying, “Don’t’ ask your dog to lower herself to your level, you, as a handler, must rise up to your dog’s level. You must become a student of your dog.”

Registration for a working spot is not a guarantee your working spot request will be accepted. Space is limited. You will receive a copy of your entry in your e-mail in-box. A Wait list will be started in case we have more members interested than the room can accommodate. Handlers on the working spot Wait List will be offered the opportunity to audit.

This event will take place at the Skagit Co. Fairgrounds in Mt. Vernon. Working Spots are $100 each. There will be a limit of 12 working spots. The cost to audit is $40. Lunch is included.
