🌍🐾 Help Send Team Kriket to the World Championship!

As many of you know - my dog Kriket and I worked incredibly hard and earned a high placement at a National Working Dog IGP Championship, which qualified us for a spot on Team USA at the World Championship in Spain this September!

This is a tremendous honor and the reward for countless hours of hard work and dedication. But with this opportunity comes a big challenge—Team Kriket is responsible for covering all of our travel, room, and board expenses for two weeks in Spain.

Now, my amazing students have come together to throw us a benefit—and you’re invited!

🎉 Join us for a fun night out!

🐕 What is IGP?
Originally developed in Germany over 100 years ago as a breed suitability test for German Shepherds, IGP remains a key tool for evaluating a dog’s nerve strength, stability, and working ability—qualities essential for law enforcement, military, search-and-rescue, and other high-stakes service roles.

Today, IGP is also a competitive sport, open to various breeds, showcasing the incredible partnership between dog and handler.

Even if you’ve never seen a dog sport, this is your chance to support a local team representing the USA on the world stage!

Come out, have fun, win great prizes and show some love to Team Kriket!
