After some cogitating, Flat Sparky came up with an idea.&nbsp; Using Lonnie\u2019s old laptop and scanner, he came up with a list of behaviors, skills and activities he\u2019d like to do; and digitized his image with the hope that on March 3rd he could email himself to some new friends and go on an adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flat Sparky\u2019s goal is for you and your dog(s) to complete 3 badge-related behaviors, skills or activities with him each week during the month of March as a way to encourage positive interactions and learning experiences which will enhance the canine-human bond.&nbsp; Flat Sparky is also excited about the possibility that his new friends won\u2019t be limited to just his list but will include other skills and activities that he can share with Lonnie when they next meet up at Michigan camp.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration closes on March 10, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost is $30 per registrant.&nbsp;
