Bramble at Game Fair!
Howard and Bramble had a great day at Game Fair today
Bramble Dock Siving
Congratulations to Howard and Bramble! Bramble did great at dock jumping today. Scheels, Eau Claire Fall Hunting Fair. Howard says “I’m convinced his cross training of Agility, Rear End Awareness and Rally, etc helped immensely. He won first place 18’8”!”😯☺️
Running wild with our ball!
What do you do when it is too hot and humid for a walk? Do a little indoor training and then run wild with your ball.
Ever wonder what FastCat looks like and if your dog would like it? Here’s Rogaine showing you how it’s done!
Rogaine broke his personal best record of 28.45 MPH to 28.81 MPH and in the rain today at the Samoyed Association of Mlps/ St. Paul Fast-Cat !
Brim and I had moments of brilliance at the AKC Rally Nationals this week. He is such a great dog.

Shelley & Bliss
Shelley and Bliss’s special presentation for being the number 1 Rally Miniature American Shepherd in 2023(& 2022). This is the kind of connection you can build with your dog through training.
Brim’s second place Master Container run today. This was a challenging run, he makes me look good.
Hilary continues the tradition of working with the youth in the Pierce County 4-H Dog Program. These youth are our future in dog sports. Overdale Kennel and Canine Sports values the 4-H program and what it offers to youth.
Many of you know that my start in dog training was in 4-H over 55 years ago. 35 of those years I worked with the Pierce County 4-H Program as a leader/instructor. My children were raised training dogs, teaching dog classes as youth leaders for other 4-H members, and participating in all 4-H had to offer them in other projects and activities.
Hilary is now the Pierce County Dog Project Adult Leader, the program has changed so much in the last few years, enabling these youth to participate in so many venues with their dogs. I know Hilary continues to strive to provide these youth with the best experiences the program can offer.
Here is a video I took last week while the 4-H group was working on Agility. Hilary is the adult leader in this video and there are 2 youth leaders in this group sharing their knowledge of dog agility with the other members, the best way to truly learn something is to teach it.
Here at Overdale Kennel we have employed so many past dog project members, I have actually lost count, they have always been some of the finest employees we have ever had. One past dog project member has shown 2 of my dogs to AKC Champions and Grand Champions. 4-H and other youth programs change lives and we are thrilled to be able to support them.
We are getting prepared and the excitement is building for our Grand Opening of Overdale Canine Sports tomorrow May 4, 2024 at S1000 Westland Drive, Spring Valley, WI from 10:00-6:00(in the business park!).

Brims Master Rally run yesterday. He is such a happy worker!
Here is a fun Masters run from the Sunday Rally trial Brim and I went to. Even has the dreaded dog and handler both spin right. If we are going to have trouble, this is the sign Brim likes to turn half way and watch me execute my spin, then clap me on the back and say, “Nicely done!” We both managed to spin this time. Good job little man, I am keeping an eye on you! #dog rally # Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever #tollerretriever #tollersofinstagram #toller #tollerlove
