Woohoo's, yahoos and good job buddies were in abundance at our AAC trial this weekend. A very big thank you to Paula Collins or tireless judge... it is truly magical when a judge can keep young and old so thrilled with the game. Your skills as a designer are so apparent as we watch everyone execute so many different options that were made available to handlers on each run. Truly excellent courses for everyone! Also thanks to all those who came out early, stayed late or were just generally attended to the behind the scenes details. It really does take a village to have these things work and although its a small village, it just wouldn't be possible without each and everyone of you.. Stay tuned for brags and money raised for the food bank.

Goose showing off his distance down cue in one of our Intermediate classes.

Just because a dog can do something directly in front of you doesn't automatically mean that he can do it at a distance. We start with a tiny bit of distance, then build up to more as the dog's confidence increases.

Good job, Goose!
