Creation’s Colors culminates from Elizabeth Orlovich’s artistic endeavor to
“Rebel against a world that seeks to snuff out hope.” Dealing with a chronic invisible illness, she finds hope in sunsets and her relationship with Jesus Christ; painting subjects of joy with all the colors of the world, she works to draw her attention, and now ours, to the beauty of life despite its hardships.

Reception is set for April 2nd from 4:30-6:30 on the 2nd floor of the Student Union Building. It will be free and open to the public, with light refreshments available. Hope to see you there!

This class trains the human how to teach the dog. The theme of the program is control and enthusiasm. The ultimate goal is an attentive, enthusiastic dog, under complete control, that responds immediately and eagerly to all commands. The course is six weeks and will cover the basic obedience commands: watch me, leave it, heal, sit, down, stay, and come. Various training strategies will be covered in the course. The course will utilize the distraction of dogs and people to master the skills. This course is being taught by Denise Baxter. Denise is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, a Pet Partners Evaluator, and an Alliance of Therapy Dogs Tester/Observer. Denise has been teaching dog obedience classes since 1997.
