👃INTRO TO SCENT DETECTION WORKSHOP

We're wanting to offer an intro to scent detection THIS Sunday, June 29th. I realize it's a little short notice, I apologize. But if you can make it, it will be lots of fun!! Instructor Chloe has many drills that will help your dog understand what to look for. It's really neat to see the dogs start to find the scent in such little time!

We'll likely start about 1pm. End time will depend on how many dogs we have participating. My guess is we'll end around 3-330pm.

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY but dogs should be able to work around other dogs. An understanding of shaping is an asset but not required.
Cost will be $50+HST

**Please message me if you are interested in participating**

Yesterday the RUFF AF Flyball Team had a power jumping session and opened it to a few friends.

This was our first session of the year. It will be awesome to look back at the end of the summer and see how they improve on their power and speed!

Thank you to the friends who came out to join us! We'll see you next time! ;)

Credit and Biggie had a spa day today at ! 🥰

I'm not sure I've ever seen their white so white!!

I asked for a practical cut for Biggie since his fur gets in the way of day-to-day activities. He came out all frisky! He basically puppy burned into the house! 🤣 And Credit? Well, say goodbye to that old dog undercoat! She feels so soft!! They both do, for that matter!

Make sure you reach out to Lynne if your pup needs pampering! 💗

PS that tub pic has got to be the cutest thing ever!! 🥰

It's been a busy week of accomplishments for RUFF AF Community Members!! 🥰

Denise & Tide got their PCD title in obedience!

Elaine and Grace went into the rally ring for the first time. They got 2/2 Q's, one being a first place! Elaine also competed in conformation with her puppy Preston, who got Baby Puppy Group!

Shanna and Ruby also tried rally for the first time and successfully got a Q. Then they competed in scent and earned their Started Title!

Claire and Willow competed in scent as well. They placed first and were awarded the judges choice award!

Chloe and Rowan played agility on Saturday. Rowan was able to keep his boy brain together after nearly 3 weeks with a BIS. Good boy, Row!

Lynne and Leif got all dolled up for conformation. A side win was Leif being comfortable enough to sleep in his crate at the show. A very important skill for a sports dog!

I saw that Trish competed in scent as well, achieving a few Q's with Clyde and Boom!

My dogs competed in the virtual rally trial last week. Shark, Beach, and Jelly all got their novice titles! Shark and Beach got their first Q's in advanced. We got two perfect scores in Novice. Our lowest score in all 6 runs was a 195!! And Beach finished rookie level in a few working exercises.

There were also lots of accomplishments at the demo Saturday. First demos for people and dogs. Dogs improving and working in high level distractions.

Whether I played a direct rule or not in helping them achieve their goals, I'm still proud of all their hard work and teamwork with their dogs! 🥰

Congratulations to everyone!

The RUFF AF FLYBALL TEAM is hosting an open Power Jumping session this SUNDAY JUNE 1ST as a fundraiser to get a new box.

Check out the video on the link below to see what power jumping is.
https://www.ruffaf.com/power-jumping/

Great for flyball dogs needing more power and speed, but also for any dogs needing a good cardio workout!

You will be assigned a time slot for your turn so you don't have to give up a whole day. Puppies can participate as well, as we can do restraint recalls on the flat instead of using jumps.

Today, a small but mighty group of RUFF AF Community Members headed to Shediac for a Bark in the Park event. This year, we got a ring of our own to do a few demos.

It was a bit of a rough start, due to no fault of our own, but we were able to demo some agility, disc, and puppy training!

The rain held out until the end. The dogs worked well. And it was a great experience for dogs AND people!

A HUGE THANK YOU to those who came out to help. I could NOT have done it without you! Claire - Manning the booth, Kyla - running every other dog 😆 and utilizing your vast performing skills, Maika and Evelyne - participated in a demo for the first time and helping setup/teardown, and Jessica for working her dog during down time. A special THANKS to my family, Josh - who helped load/unload, set up, held dogs during demos, and managed the kids, Austin - who took care of Biggie and ran him in the agility demo and did some disc, he handed out samples at the booth, and made lunches, Kensie - helped out when needed and played with Karson.

All the young dogs did SO well working in a hectic environment with dogs all around!

Below is a video of Kyla and Pink doing High Jump with our makeshift jump. 🤣

We will be there!! 👍
