While barry's leather journey began in the summer of 1992, his puppy journey started in 2000 by bonding with a certain special pup, patrick chees, founder of IPC/IPTC (International Puppy Contest, now known as the International Puppy & Trainer Conference).
Since patrick helped barry find his inner pup, barry has helped with IPC/IPTC at all but one year. He's been a Kennel Master, a judge, a presenter, a co-producer, and now Executive Director.
The Texas Conference of Clubs (TCC) honored barry with the title of Mr. Lone Star 2002-2004 even after going out during the Jock part of the competition in complete puppy mode with collar, leash, a tail, and on all fours barking!
Many people have known him as boy barry in Houston for many years and his work with clubs and functions to raise money for HIV/AIDS and children's charities. Now, he resides in Dallas, Texas with his partner in their Oak Cliff home.

Pup 101 - Presented by Cosmo

Pup101 is a beginner’s class covering the basics for the human pup. It delves the behaviors of a pup and a pup's ability to communicate with others through these behaviors. This class will cover the health and safety precautions for a pup, including the importance of gear.
If time is left, we will have a fantasy vs. reality discussion. Then, we will conclude with time for questions and/or discussions. This class is geared more toward the pup, but trainers may learn from this as well.
The curious are always welcome!
