When: Wednesday and Thursday, September 16-17th, 2026, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Where: Brooklyn Heights Community Center, 225 Tuxedo Ave, Brooklyn Hts. Ohio
Who: Tony Gravley is the Owner and Founder of Next Generation K9, TWG Group LLC. He has over 30 years of experience as a Trainer, Instructor, Manager, and Handler of Police and Military Working Dogs. Tony’s training plan is based on his years of training professional detection dogs and teams. The bomb dog must have total focus and desire to find odor, solve the problem, and locate source.
What: Tony will work with 12 teams. This workshop will not only tap into problem solving but will give your dog the tools to solve problems and bring out motivation to get to source. Desire, Drive and Commitment to get to source will be developed through exercises. More importantly, your understanding of the “how’s” and “why’s” will be clarified to make you a more effective trainer. Both your training plan and your future trialing experiences will benefit from your newly gained knowledge.
WORKING SPOTS:
A handler may only work one dog per Working Spot. A working team must have succeeded at the Excellent/Master level or above. If you compete in a venue other than AKC, please make sure this is an appropriate training for your team.
Working Spots are limited — applying for a Working Spot does not guarantee acceptance. In the event of cancellations, preference for Working Spots will be given to those on the Wait List and then to those registered for Auditing Spots.
**Crating in Car Only** Please take this into consideration before signing up.
AUDITING SPOTS:
In order to allow for maximum working time for the working dogs, auditors need to hold their individual questions until breaks or lunch.
WHAT TO BRING:
For Everyone — a portable chair; note-taking supplies and your beverage
For Working Spots: a water bowl, and rewards/soft treats.
