Happy Monday, everyone!

Jess Harris and I are running a mock ACT (Agility Course Test) this coming Saturday, November 2nd. We plan to begin at 11am and go until everyone has completed their runs. This is in preparation for the ACT at Collinswood the following weekend.

We will be offering 2 runs per handler/dog team at the cost of $30 total. There will be an ACT Standard level 1 course in the morning, and then a ACT Standard Level 2 course in the afternoon. If you wish to do 2 runs but don't feel ready to try weaves and/or teeters, you can sign up for the level 2 run and simply skip those obstacles as needed. If you are only interested in one run, then we will put you in for either level 1 or level 2 and the cost will be $20. We will do our best to send out "run orders" by Friday night, but those are flexible and subject to change depending on how the day goes.

The plan is to run the event as a semi-formal run-through: you will come inside and check in for your runs without your dog, and weather permitting we will have you crate/rest your dogs in your cars. If you are uncomfortable leaving your dog in your car, please come talk to Sam or Jess and we will be happy to accommodate/discuss options. Once your run is finished, Sam will be there to give you feedback and you are welcome to take some time to ask questions, and then we will have you leave the building with your dog so we can begin the next run. Between your runs, you are welcome to come inside without your dog to be an audience and act as polite distractions for the dog running the course (remember, we're all here to train and have fun!).

If you are interested, please respond by Friday the 1st 12pm with the following information:
Your Name
Your Dog's Name
Your Dog's Jump Height (what height you would like the jumps set to for your run throughs, for the ACT this can be any, not just what your dog is measured at for trials)
# of Runs (1 or 2)

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out via email to [email protected] and Sam will be happy to help! You can message me here on Facebook too.

Send entries to:
[email protected] and [email protected]

Thank you!
Jess Harris & Sam King, CPTD-KPA
