Dates to save for agility trials at Love and Laughter Dogs:

Nov. 29 - Dec. 1 2024 NADAC Trial with Mark Buehl judging - if you've never run NADAC you're missing the best training opportunity. We do double run format which means you walk the course one time and run it 2 times without walking it again. I use the first run if I need to correct a contact, dropped bar on a sequence or off course. The second run is to see if my correction worked. Here's the direct link to the premium:

A huge thank you to Jim Murrin for judging Love and Laughter Dogs' first CPE agility trial over the weekend. He had awesome courses and for all the newbies, including myself, he explained how to play the CPE games. Also I want to thank Melanie Moser for taking care of our judge for the weekend, KAtharine Dudley for being trial secretary, Laura Lambert for being our course builder, Debbie Hughes for helping with the workers schedule and all the AWoof members that answered questions and came to play. I also want to thank everyone that jumped in to help with course building, changing jump heights or whatever was needed. It made the trial run smoothly. Thank you for making it such a fun weekend. Our next CPE agility trial is in January.

Save the dates May 24-26, 2024: Love and Laughter Dogs in Cleveland, Tx is hosting a Memorial Weekend NADAC Agility Trial (May 24-26, 2024). We start running Friday evening and will finish Sunday afternoon so everyone can be home in time to celebrate Memorial Day. Come join us for a fun filled weekend running double run format. That means you walk the course 1 time and if you sign up for running both rounds all jump heights in round 1 run the course and then we start with round 2 without walking the course again. It is the same course and great for training. You are allowed to run with a toy, no Q but great training. Here's the link to the premium:

Love and Laughter Dogs is hosting our NADAC all breed agility trial Memorial Weekend (May 24-26, 2024) at 7269 N Walker Rd Cleveland, Tx. Come run your dogs on Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday. Then enjoy your day off on Monday (Memorial Day). If you have never run NADAC
you're missing out on a great training tool. We run the "double run format". That means if you pay for both rounds you walk the course 1 time and after everyone has run the first round we run round 2 without walking it again. The benefit to this is if you need to train something on the 1st round, train it and then see on round 2 if the training worked!! You are running the same course both times. If you train on either round you won't qualify but you get course time for training. Toys are also allowed in the ring for training. If you have any questions please contact me or Desiree Pratt.
