Today was day three of our June agility trial. Each day our judge, Michelle Persian, has opened the day with the national anthem on her violin. Today she was joined by, Lindsey Barrows adding a beautiful vocal. You never know what other talents you will find at an agility trial
The open level in agility requires that the team execute 12 weave poles (instead of 6 in novice). There are more obstacles and side changes as well at this level. Congratulations to Amy and Taci who earned their first qualification in Open Jumpers with Weaves their very first time at that level!!!! What nice handling and connection with this new team!

The Nose Knows!
Do you know we offer Scent Work classes? This is one of our Members in a training class. This type of setting is one of the best ways to prepare yourself, and your dog, for a trial environment!
Meet Louis! Louis has been receiving puppy socialization and enrichment before his eyes were even open. Nothing much has phased Louis doing class! He keeps his eyes on his Handler as they build and grow on their relationship.
Keep an eye on Louis, he has a big future ahead of him...as soon as he grows into those floppy paws!
Our first night of Puppy Kindergarten was a few weeks ago!
During Orientation the class was told to expect some stress from their puppies. Also that their puppies would quickly come to love their class and their Instructors!
Bruce is featured below; Team Bruce were not happy campers their first few minutes in class! Bruce was barking and crying a little, his Handler was thinking this was the worst idea ever!
It wasn't! Within minutes Team Bruce turned that energy into the best puppy equipment ever...the Ladder!
Go Team Bruce Go!
