St. Paul Dog Training Club is reopening! We have missed you! Agility will be starting again in the next couple of weeks. Teachers are excited to return and help you reach your agility goals. Look forward to further options to your training too that includes regular weave training with Ginny Hayes as we believe weaves should always be included in your weekly ongoing learning.

We look forward to hearing from you!

The SPDTC board met on Sunday 9/8.

Yas Bakshian is a long time beloved nose work instructor for SPDTC, nose work trial and event host, and a regular competitor in both nose work and agility. She’s been fighting a battle with breast cancer since late 2023, and the battle will continue for many more months.
A benefit for Yas will be held August 18th at Fusion Pet Retreat and Shady Oak Vet, with a goal of restoring some of the financial impact resulting from her treatment. The benefit will include Agility Fun-Runs and a Nose Work Sniff - n – Go, along with a raffle. See the below flyer for more details and links to sign up. If you’re interested in donating to the raffle please contact Kate Taylor at [email protected].
