🐾🌷 GSDOC Takes on the AKC Spring Scurry! 🌷🐾
What a beautiful day to get out and enjoy time with our dogs! Members and friends of Golden Spike Dog Obedience Club participated in the AKC Spring Scurry today, and we didn't just meet the goal—we exceeded it!
Together, our teams covered an impressive 3.46 miles, surpassing the official 5K (3.1 mile) Spring Scurry distance. 🎉🐕👟
The AKC Spring Scurry is more than just a fun walk with your dog. Participation in events like this can be used toward earning an AKC FIT DOG title, a program designed to encourage healthy lifestyles for both dogs and their owners. AKC FIT DOG titles recognize dogs and handlers who commit to regular exercise and physical activity together, helping strengthen the bond between canine and human while promoting lifelong wellness.
We are proud of everyone who joined us today and made this event such a success. Thank you for spending part of your Sunday with us, and congratulations to all our participants for going the extra mile—literally! 💙

🐾 What a Weekend to Remember! 🐾
We’re still riding the high from our March Trial weekend—and honestly, we don’t want it to end! 💚
From the final cleanup on Sunday (and yes… that last slice of pizza 🍕), it was clear just how special this event was. Our incredible trial committee and volunteers came together as a true team—supporting one another, keeping things running smoothly, and creating an experience that didn’t go unnoticed.
Our judges had wonderful things to say about our stewards, and it showed in every ring. From setup on Thursday to teardown on Sunday, the teamwork and dedication were unmatched.
A huge shoutout to everyone who helped tackle the parking challenge—you made it work seamlessly! And of course… the food? Absolutely amazing. 🙌
But what made this weekend truly unforgettable was YOU—our club members. So many of you stepped into the ring, earned qualifications, achieved titles, and created moments to be proud of. 🎉
Most importantly… we had FUN.
And that’s what it’s all about.
We are so proud to be part of the Golden Spike Dog Obedience Club family. 💚
🎥 Check out the highlights in our video and relive the memories with us!

🐾🎓 Ready to take your dog’s skills to the next level? 🎓🐾
Golden Spike Dog Obedience Club is excited to offer Session 2: AKC Canine Good Citizen Advanced (CGCA)!
So what is CGCA?
The AKC Canine Good Citizen Advanced program builds on the foundation of the CGC title and focuses on real-world skills in more challenging environments. This means your dog will learn how to stay calm, polite, and responsive even with distractions like crowds, noise, and other dogs. 🐕✨
In this class, you and your dog will work on:
✔️ Advanced obedience and reliability
✔️ Polite behavior in public settings
✔️ Handling distractions with confidence
✔️ Strengthening your bond as a team
🏅 How certification works:
At the end of the course, dogs are evaluated on a series of skills in a real-life setting. If they pass, they earn the official AKC CGCA title—a great achievement that showcases your dog’s excellent manners and training!
Whether you're continuing your training journey or looking to challenge your dog in new ways, this class is a fantastic next step.
📅 Session 3 begins at the end of July is coming up—don’t miss your chance to join us!
