GOT FITNESS????

Calling all sport dogs!!! Do you participate in dog sports? Agility? Obedience? Rally? Fast-Cat? Disc?

While hiking and getting out on the trail may seem like it's "enough" we guarantee that it's nothing like "going to the gym"!

We are thinking of starting up a foundation canine fitness class! Please email kristin@stridecaninerehab . com if you are interested in learning more!

🥇EXCITING NEWS FOR UKI HANDLERS IN 2024🥇
UKI is excited to announce the launch of our brand new tournament - The International Challenge Event (I.C.E.)

🔹Why the International Challenge Event?
To help elevate the standards of dog agility in North America and foster growth on the international agility stage. This event will allow the experience of running on courses designed by exceptional international judges, picked specifically for this event, who judge at the WAO, EO or AWC.

🔹What makes this event stand out?
✔️Euro style courses on full sized international ring sizes (all rings are a minimum of 130'x75')
✔️10 select events across North America in 2024, hosted by experienced UKI show managers running alongside regular UKI trials.
✔️I.C.E. winners gain a place into the 2025 1-TDC North American Invitational as well as a bye into Rd 2 of both the UKI Nationals at the US Open & Canadian Opens. (note: No byes are available for the WCO as no class at WCO can support this amount of potential byes)
✔️Rookie I.C.E. winners receive the Rd 2 byes AND also can choose to automatically move up their dog to the Champ UKI level.

🔹What to expect:
An Agility and a Jumping course combined, with the least faults and fastest time producing the winners.
✔️Two Levels with 2 separate course designs aimed at the 2 levels - 'International' for the Senior & Champ dogs and 'Rookie' for the Beginners & Novice dogs.
✔️Exposure to European-style course running directly from renowned International judges
✔️A platform for competitive growth in the international agility community
✔️Full rule details clearly listed in the events' premiums.
✔️A full list of designing judges to be announced shortly.

UKI has updated their rule book and there are some important changes to note in a few topics such as equipment safety in course design, competitor ring entry, and judging faults. So if you are competing in UKI it's a good idea to revisit!
