Each year Otter Tail Kennels blesses one individual or family with free hunting training for their dog. We do this through a dog training scholarship.
If you wish to nominate someone for a scholarship, you can do so by filling out the application below.
Otter Tail Kennels will select the individual from the applications received. We desire to bless someone who would benefit greatly from this gift of training, someone who has special circumstances that prevent them from being able to afford our programs at this time, or someone who is struggling in some way.
An individual can be nominated by someone or they can nominate themselves by filling out our Dog Training Scholarship form below.
