Most of these fine teams will be working with Bill Thurman on the Read Aloud Chattanooga initiative to help children become better readers by being attentive, uncritical listeners. We're very excited about being a part of this important work. If you're interested in joining us, we'd love to have you. Enroll in the Canine Good Citizen class to get started, or if you're ready for the test, sign up to schedule your time.
