Four Seasons Agility

Four Seasons Agility NADAC Sanctioned Agility Club The Four Seasons Agility Club is a small, non-profit, volunteer run dog agility club in Western New York.

Our primary purpose is to conduct NADAC agility trials so we can all have FUN FUN FUN with our dogs! We also occasionally host agility seminars and fun runs. We pride ourselves in hosting fun, laid-back, novice-friendly trials. Currently, we hold two NADAC trials a year- one inside in East Amherst on soccer turf, and one outside in Clarence/Akron NY in the fully fenced grassed training yard at Akron Animal Hospital. We hope to add another trial to the roster in 2012!

So much fun in and out of the ring- it is really heartwarming to hear all the cheering and encouragement, no matter if the run was great, good, or not so good. It’s all about having a great time with our best pups and that truly on display at this trial.

Congratulations to all the teams- whether you qualified, earned titles, achieved “PQs” (personal goals) or not, you showed up and stepped into the ring to face the course challenges our fabulous Judge Patti Cavin designed for us!

As many of you have probably read, a judge was sent to the hospital after being bit multiple times at a recent agility trial. The details of this incident don’t need to be related again, except to say that the judge was not interacting with this dog in any way- he was just a guy standing in the ring.
This is scary and it does seem that the amount of concerning dogs has increased over the years, (and not just in agility). As someone who puts on several trials a year, this is always a big concern. It is a liability and we don’t want to be “one of those trials”. It is not easy for show officials to have to step up to protect exhibitors- we rely on handlers being aware and responsible for their dog’s behavior and assessing whether coming to a trial with their dog would put other people and/or dogs at risk.
If you have a dog who has the potential to harm people or other dogs, I ask that you take the responsibility and not put it on show officials, who are your friends. We are lucky to have other options like VT runs and private rentals so everyone can still play. People and dogs should feel safe when they spend money to play at trials. Thank you.

Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic Four Seasons Agility Club NADAC trial weekend! What a great kick off to our summer trials! Blue skies, temps warm but not terribly hot, green grass, not too much in the way of bugs and birds... thank you Sandy Corrie and Jim Styn for hosting our trial in the lovely backyard ring at Akron Animal Hospital. Nancy Biller is in charge of weather requests from now on!

Thanks to Judge Karen Hough for challenging and fun courses; our main course builders Mike Wolff, John Cicchetti and Lynn Broderick; to all our club members for keeping things moving and creating a wonderfully supportive and cheerful atmosphere in which to have fun with our dogs; and for all the volunteers who chipped in to ring crew, gate, leash run, time/scribe, and move all those tunnel bags- your help is much appreciated.

Congratulations to all who qualified, titled, achieved "PQ's" (personal qualifying goals), and to those who took a deep breath and stepped into the ring for the first time! Every run with our best canine partners is a gift, wheter everything goes well or it doesn't, and each moment cherished as an amazing part of our wonderful bond with our pups. It was really wonderful to see some of our senior and semi-retired dogs take a turn in the ring too- thanks to NADAC for giving us an opportunity to keep our pups running even as they start to step aside for new teams.

Kudos to our Championship Title teams:
Marybeth & Lilly Witherow- VNATCH2, Grounders NATCH1, Gamblers NATCH1, Platinum NATCH1
NATCH4 Wryly and Nancy May
Sophie & Jo Weiss- VNATCH
Ela & Jen Sikora- VNATCH
Quick & Lynn Broderick- Silver Versatility Achievement Cup
Archie & Jo Weiss- Gold Achievement Cup

Congratulations also to our High In Trial Winner, Sophie Weiss, and High In Trial Reserve Winner Archie Weiss! Jo is a wonderful handler who tackles each course with her dogs with grace and finesse- she is building quite a collection of commemorative mugs from our trials!
Our Top Ten for this trial:
1- Sophie & Jo Weiss

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in our Easter Weekend NADAC trial! Fun drawings and raffles and silly contests to put a smile on everyone's faces- It was so much fun! Congratulations to all the winners! (the ham weighed between 8-9 pounds). Bawk Bawk!

Thanks so much to Judge Patti Cavin who brought some fun and challenging courses for us to tackle- and for her wonderful positive encouragement to all the teams.

Congratulations to everyone who earned qualifiers and titles, accomplished "personal Q's" like stepping into the ring for the first time, or improving in one way or another. Everyone was a winner this weekend, in one way or another! One of the most wonderful aspects of Four Seasons Agility Club trials is the amazing support and encouragement that you see for every team that steps to the line; whether an old friend or classmate, or someone new or from out of town. It is truly heartwarming to see! Thank you everyone for your part in creating that lovely positive vibe!

"Well done" to Mike Wolff and Calypso Caliente (aka Cali) who finished their Grounders and Non-Jumping NATCHs this weekend. Kudos to Lynn Broderick and Quick for earning their NATCH2 and also their Gamblers and Platinum NATCHs.
