Saturday was another fun day! Stacey & Dory, Andi, Maverick & Raleigh, and Zelda & I all got to go play at the St Paul Dog Training Club AKC Scentwork Trial in Marine on St Croix.

It was Stacey & Dory's first trial. She went an amazing 5 for 5 qualifying, earning placings of 2nd in 2 of her classes and 3rd in another. Great start to your Scentwork career Dory! 😊

Andi & Maverick qualified in both of his classes with 1st and 4th placings, and earned his Novice Containers Title. 😊 Raleigh didn't find his hides today (Next time Raleigh!) But we loved having him with us, and it's always fun to see his enthusiasm for the game!!! 😁❤

I was very happy with Zelda who qualified in 4 of 4, placing in 2 of her classes at 2nd and 4th, and earning her Novice Interiors Title. 😊

We are all very new to this sport and I couldn't be more proud of how everyone performed! Congratulations to all and thank you to everyone who has helped and supported us along the way!!!

Thank you to St Paul Dog Training Club, Judges, and Committee for putting on a great trial and creating a welcoming environment, and most of all thank you to all of our dogs who continue to do their best for us!

Zip and Zelda would like to to wish everyone a very Happy Halloween! They also want to remind everyone about the Halloween party for our students!!! 🎃 It will be tomorrow (Friday, Novemeber 1st) starting at 6:00pm. There will be a costume contest (dog costumes) a few dog games, tricks and Treats! Non reactive dogs are welcome, but please don't bring very shy, timid, or
overly reactive dogs, as they will find it stressful and will not enjoy the party. There will be limited crating space available in another room if you come thinking your dog could handle the party and they get upset or fearful. If anyone (non student) would like to stop in (without a dog) to see the facility & meet some people, you are welcome to do that. Hoping to see some cute costumes agin this year! 😱

Here's a glimpse of what our multi-level obedience classes look like! This is a very short video clip during one exercise. (I may add more in comments later) Here we have dogs in down stay with a distraction. In this case the distraction is rolling a ball and asking the dogs to use impulse control to hold position until the owners return to reward and release them. Handlers can stay as close as they need to, and return to reward as quicly as necessary, to help their dog be successful as they work toward advancing their skills on each exercise. It is really fun to see everyone with their dogs learning more and improving each week! Must have completed our Beginner Obedience class, or be evaluated before joining one of these classes. Current class details below...
