Teaching dogs of all sizes is like hosting a wild, furry classroom where every student has their own quirky personality and learning style! From tiny Chihuahuas with big attitudes to towering Great Danes with gentle hearts, each dog brings its unique flair to the training sessions. It's all about finding the right balance of patience, praise, and play. Whether you're teaching a teacup pup to master the sit command or a large breed to walk politely on a leash, the key is to keep things fun and engaging. With the right approach, even the most stubborn pups can become star students, wagging their tails in excitement as they learn new tricks and behaviors.

Rally dog obedience is a dynamic and enjoyable sport that combines precision, teamwork, and fun. In Rally, handlers and their dogs navigate a course of various stations, each requiring the dog to perform specific obedience tasks such as sits, downs, and turns. What sets Rally apart from traditional obedience is its focus on the bond between handler and dog, allowing for encouragement and praise throughout the course. The sport is designed to be engaging and accessible, making it an excellent way for both novice and experienced handlers to strengthen their communication with their dogs while enjoying a fun and rewarding activity together. Rally is not only a test of obedience skills but also an opportunity to celebrate the joy of working in sync with your canine companion.

Obesity Is the Number One Health Concern in Dogs🐾

Obesity is one of the leading health concerns in both humans and dogs. We know that obesity causes a wide variety of other health issues and will shorten life spans. It’s very important to ensure your dog is fed a quality diet, is not being overfed or given table scraps, and gets plenty of exercise.

In regards to our May Bow Wow Bonanza Fastcat event— Results were submitted within 5 days of the end of the event date which is required by AKC. A few new Fastcat’ers have reached out to our messenger about why the results haven’t posted to their points progression to AKC. Fastcat requires a lot of math to calculate your points/mph, akc dog numbers and owner information submitted by the club’s secretary to AKC. The excel sheet they receive is quite lengthy as we had over 400+ runs that weekend! What a fun weekend! It is in AKC’s hands and they are working to make sure your points are recorded. Patience is a virtue 😌. See you all in October! Save the date ❤️ October 11-13th!

Olivia Tanner-Hill wrote about our weekend trials:
We had a great couple days celebrating Evansville Obedience Club 's 50th year! We Q'd 7/8 times, and the only reason for the one NQ was totally my fault! First exercise of the whole weekend, sent Baelish to the wrong glove 🤦‍♀️ My senior moment at 28. Besides my goof we earned six 1st places and a 2nd, four Preferred High in Trial and two Preferred High Combined, along with three more legs towards PUDX3 and lots of points for POC. We were also awarded some beautiful glass sheltie pieces for being highest scoring Sheltie, we will really cherish those! The highlight of the weekend was Baelish giving me amazing performances this morning during the huge thunderstorms that passed through. Thunderstorms are Baelish's worst fear, and he usually pants and tries to bury himself into me as much as he can when it storms. Not today, he gave it his all! It was such a great weekend and so well ran. Judges Nancy Withers and Ores Chever couldn't have been better and I wouldn't hesitate to show to them again. I thoroughly enjoyed all the time spent with friends (and my parents who surprised me!!). EOC has done such an amazing job with this new building, it's grown exponentially over the past 50 years, I am honored to be a part of it.
