What a busy week and a half!

I finished my training and certification testing for 3 disciplines:
(1) Certified Dog Parkour Instructor with the International Dog Parkour Association
(2) CNWI - Canine Nose Work Instructor with NACSW
(3) CSCC - Certified Canine Strength and Conditioning Coach thru the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine

Thank you to my students who let me use them for case studies!

What a weekend - windy, sunny, cold, wet and dreary. Through it all Xander's nose was on fire. At the UKC trail, Xander qualified in 8 out of 8 nose work runs, earned 7 placements and 5 titles (interiors, containers, vehicles, exteriors and overall Superior). He got a special supper for a job well done. Xander is 11 years old and recovered from TPLO surgery 4 months ago. Nose work is truly a sport for dogs of all ages and abilities.

Interested in nosework? I will be offering classes this summer

Dog Scouts is a great way to meet like minded people and have fun with your dog. However they also do a lot of things that do not require membership. If you decide to try this virtual event, let me know and we can do some things at my house or via a zoom group to help you get the most out of this. Xander and Spice plan to go for the gold on all 5 categories and we would love to have you join us!

DSA virtual events provide dog lovers with the opportunity to train "outside the box" to build confidence and succeed in enhancing your dog's quality of life. Try your hand and your dog's paw at Parkour, Push N Pull, Targeting and Tricky Weaves during DSA's Paw-lympics. Register at dogscouts.org

Xander was a rockstar this weekend. He earned his NW1 placing 7th out of 50 dogs. This means he had to successfully find hides in 4 different areas on the same day; one was in 1 of 14 boxes, one was on 1 of 3 vehicles, one was in an interior area and one was in an exterior area. Curious about what the search area looked like? - check the comments for a link to the debrief
