Yesterday was incredible despite the heat! We had such an amazing team of volunteers, and competors. Our first fun run went smoothly and it felt amazing to finally have our first unofficial event under our belt.

Thank you so much to Leah Kenny for spending her Friday with me setting up and prepping, Mira Iryna and family, Rhonda, Erica, Sonia, Cory and everyone else who stepped up the moment anything needed to be done. Autumn Melnychuk for belaying the dogs and running the track sled and eveyone else who picked up a task whenever it was needed.

We ran two events and the dogs and humans all had an awesome experience. We have Kayla Mastel take 1st place in wall with her dog Banks and Megan with Kyri take 1st place in weight pull. The other dogs all performed with so much heart and had a great time.

I guess this is a good time to give everyone a teaser that we are bringing Jay Jack back for summer 2025! Those dates will be released September 1st 🤩

We will be offering SR classes to prepare for SR titles and the plan is the first official full weekend GRC event in Western Canada!

STAY TUNED 🖤

WEIGHT PULL

Duration:
One minute / pull.
Must make three successful pulls to qualify.

Equipment.
One sled (no wheels or rails) and 15 ft. / 4.5 m track.

Weight Never goes down.
Declare starting weight.
After each pull, declare the next weight.
The line that attaches the sled to the dog must be brought to tension.
The line, while still in contact with the ground, will have no slack in it.
The judge will tell you that you’re ready.
Once you break contact with the dog at the beginning of the pull, you may not contact them again until after the pull has been called complete.

Must make 3 successful pulls to Qualify at the event. May make as many as you want.
Judge may call a tangle if they deem it unsafe, and untangle the dog. This may be done once per pull. Sled will be stopped and restarted on the spot the tangle is called.

Handler may request the tangle to be called. Courtesy pulls may be given after a foul or handler withdraw. Sled may be manipulated, but the dog may not be. Gentle leash pressure may be used to guide the dog to the starting point. Any pressure over 9 seconds or enough to stabilize yourself will be a foul. No harsh use of leash.

Any signs of avoidance or timidity can be fouled. After hooked to Sled, handler must store or wear on person without slack. Hands must be empty. No bait allowed on the track.

No biting of the leash or harness for the reward event. ONLY social reward is allowed. A dog that must “follow themselves” may have up to 2 minutes break. If
your name is called to the line of departure…. You have 2 minutes to appear or foul out.

You may not “walk the track”. You must enter and proceed directly to the line of departure.

How the GRC levels are determined

● Level 1: Handler allowed on track. Can Restrain until release. Allowed one foul. Any signs of avoidance or timidity can be fouled out.

● Level 2: Dog must be called to the middle and hooked up in that position. Dog must go down. Handler must move to handler mark. May be anywhere on track after the call, but must not contact. Any signs of avoidance or timidity can be fouled.

● Level 3: Must remove leash and tactical heel from entry to line. Get hooked up in middle position. Dog must down. Handler must move past end of track.
Must stay over the line. May not contact the dog until AFTER pull is called.

Any signs of avoidance or timidity can be fouled.
*No food or toys in the ring.
* Any object the dog bites will result in a DQ. Either it’s a known reward strategy and therefore cheating. Or, a loss of control on the dogs’s part. Either way. DQ.

Minimum Qualifying Scores

Level 1 title= 1.5x Body Weight (BW) Pull minimum.
Level 2 title= 2xBW
Level 3 title= 2.5xBW

Tie Breaker
If the weight is tied, it will go to the fastest pull. If the time is also tied, it will go to the lighter dog.

Participant Equipment
Collar: Properly fitted, flat, metal buckle collar
Leash: 6 Ft / 1.8 m max length.
Properly fitted Weight Pull Harness (X back w with spreader bar. Spreader bar no more than
6 inches from back of outstretched leg.)

Footwear: Actual closed footwear (shoes or boots).
Clothing: Attire that allows for the performance of the required exercises without distracting
the dogs.

Dogs DO NOT meet on leash‼️

All events will have a dog working, a dog “on deck” and a dog “in the hole”. Dogs enter and exit the event area in opposite directions to avoid any cross over. We will have a runner to call out the running order to ensure things run smoothly so please pay attention to the call orders when events begin.

Some turns move along very quickly.

We can’t wait to see your dogs work 🤩

07/16/2024

Leading up to our fun run we wanted to give everyone a break down of the events and rules. We are following the GRC Dogsports rules as we are hoping to have an official event next summer when Jay Jack is back!!!

WALL CLIMB

Duration: Must make 3 successful climbs to qualify

Equipment: Regulation wall and tug
(Harnesses can be provided for belay)
The toy must be secured horizontally by velcro or magnets.

The handler will declare a starting height for the first run upon registering. Each dog must make three attempts without a foul for any attempt to count. At all three levels, the highest jump wins the round.

If the dog misses the attempted height they may reset and attempt two more times for a total of three. Three strikes and you foul out.

The handler and dog will approach the start line. The handler will remove the leash and wear it on his or her body for the duration and attach the belay.

At the line of departure the judge or a helper may call attention to the toy if handler requests.

The toy must be still before sending the dog.

After each run, the handler can declare a height change to a higher level. The toy may not move down. The dog must climb the wall, grab the toy, and hold it until asked to release it by the handler.

The handler will have three attempts to signal a verbal OUT command, allowing 5 seconds for each attempt if the dog does not Out on the first command.

Courtesy runs (lowering the toy) are allowed after a failed attempt if requested by the handler.

After each run, the team may have 15 seconds to celebrate with the toy before starting the next run.

Puppy Finn has joined us for our Puppy Kickstart Program 🖤

He is learning how to make good decisions when he’s excited, walk polite on a leash and most importantly recall!

Our young herding breeds can seem like they have a mind of their own but in reality they are just motivated. We help puppies find value in the handler so they can still enjoy life while having safety in place.

Some of our client dogs hope you are staying as cool as they are this week at the dock pool 😎

Over the years we have adapted and evolved to serve our clients better. The more we grow and improve the more human oriented we become in our business. The dog is the “easy” part in training but YOU are the most important piece of the puzzle for success!

We have offered a huge variety of services in our 10 years of business and coming this fall things will look a little different around here.

Some of the services you all love will still be available but will look a lot different in order for us to give you the absolute most with your programs.

Stay tuned over the summer while we slowly introduce these new offerings we know you will all appreciate!

Muzzle Tutorial Part 2

Muzzle Tutorial - Part 2 If you missed the first video check it out here Part 1 - https://fb.watch/ps9Y0iaDV2/?mibextid=UVffzb It is important to remember when teaching our dogs a new skill to be patient. So not worry if it doesn’t go perfectly the first time, and do not discourage your dog by being disappointed. As un-natural as a muzzle is they can learn to be comfortable and confident in one! Don’t skip steps and don’t rush the learning process.. have fun with your dog along the journey! Stay tuned for part 3!

In effort to start putting out more free content this year we thought it was fitting to start with a muzzle series. If you don’t know already XL bullies have been banned in the UK which means anyone who owns them are now forced to muzzle their dog in public indefinitely. On top of that we believe all dogs should have the SKILL of confidently wearing a muzzle. Life happens.. why not be prepared for it? Here is video 1 in a series of a muzzle videos we will be sharing with all of you. If you have a muzzled dog show us in the comments 👇 Muzzled dogs are good dogs 🖤

Thanks for another amazing year! We are so proud of the community of client and dog professionals we get the privilege to work with and beside each year. As we go into 2024 help a small business out by providing a review on Google to help more people understand what we do and how we assist the dog world. We unfortunately lost all our previous Google reviews when we rebranded in 2023 so you will be doing us a big favor whether that’s leaving a new review or reposting an old one. Much love from all of the Chaos Crew 🖤
