My name is Mike Bartleson. I am currently the Founder of Paws & Badges Inc as well as the head volunteer trainer at B&B K-9 Obedience Training, which is owned by my wife Amanda Bartleson. I would like to inform you that I received a code complaint for a dog training facility that is being held behind my residence, which is unseen from the road. (Approximately 260 feet from E Emory Road).

I have read the letter that was sent in by the complainant who is my neighbor. After reviewing his letter, along with the County Code Maps, ETC. I was hoping I would be able to speak to someone concerning the false information that was provided by the complainant.

We did not buy this house to turn it into a dog obedience facility. We live on the front acre parcel in the main house with my 4 Kids and wife and inside dogs. Nothing is going to be built on our property other than a 6 foot chain and privacy fence. We only train dogs in a 4 car detached garage that is on the second parcel of land behind our house.

I hope this reaches you within time before the meeting.

Attached is information about how B&B K-9 operates as well as Paws & Badges Inc.

Any help or advice would help us out greatly. I'm just trying to help people in this community at an affordable price and no charge to any Recipients who have qualified for our P.T.S.D. Service Dog Program.
