A big THANK YOU to all the Instructors, Assistants, & Apprentices. Without you we could not hold classes.

Reminder to students – if you miss a class, you can pick another class to go to & do a make-up class.

Thank you to ALL who made the Summer Beginners Graduation possible. All instructors, assistants and apprentices, as well as people who set up everything and put everything back away. The people who brought their dogs & did Obedience, Rally, Nosework, & Agility demos & those who helped set up the equipment for demos. The hospitality set up of snacks & drink. The education given about our classes our club & pet therapy group. If I tried to say all the names I know I would forget someone. So instead THANK YOU! so much to all of you.

Tilly got 2 legs of her AGI on August 5th, scoring 191 and 196. This is the first time either she or I had been in a trial. This was resulted in 2 first place ribbons.

Steve O’Gwin

After years of taking the agility class, Christopher Robin (aka Beastie), finally earned his AGI title for UKC in the TAC trial August 6th.

Zar’n received two High in Trials at the TAC Agility Trials in August. Couldn’t seem to put good runs together as no UGRACH legs for him. Ziva managed one UGRACH leg out of four tries. And Zuko got his AGI title at his first trial ever. Out of four runs, all were 193+ and the last was a 200. Very happy with these guys as the courses were a bit complicated, although very fun.

Chris Hatchett

Hope and I had a great time this summer running AKC and UKC agility, and UKC nosework and rally. We so appreciate the local clubs putting on the trials they do so we can have a fun and not travel.
She was able to finish her UROC and URX titles, her AN, AV, AE, SI titles in nosework, and earned her UGRACH 2. It has indeed been a journey, and I think she’s glad I’m finally getting it, leading to several high in trial and special awards for us at the various trials.
We started classes when she was 6 months old at TDTC 6.5 years ago
and we haven’t stopped, so we owe a lot of our success to our village of instructors, friends, fellow competitors and the judges who always make sure we all have a good time, but are challenged.

This has been an eventful summer for the Brownson Canine Trio: Brown, Allen and Alle. All three titled in Tricks. Allen and Brown received their Novice, Intermediate and Advanced Tricks titles and Alle received her Tricks Novice Title. Below is a limited sample of my three tricksters’ repertoires. The first photograph is Allen opening the cooler to find a hidden cookie. The second is Brown proudly carrying his Spiderman basket and I must say with gusto up the stairs to me. The third is a photo of Alle in the basket into which she jumped after receiving the command. All three jumped in a large empty box, but the blue basket can only hold one at a time. This summer of tricks was so much fun and rewarding for canine and human. We all had a great time and went through A LOT of cookies.

Riker now has his Rally Novice title.

Merlot earned his 2nd UGRACH title at the TAC agility trials in August. Smart boy and ranked in the top 10 in UKC.

Brandy is enjoying a special treat after earning some points towards her UKC ACH title this month at the TAC agility trials.

Caesar earned his Canine Good Citizen title this month. He went on to pass (barely) his Novice 1 obedience class. The week before he was perfect in the run thru. Am blaming his lackadaisical attitude on being a Berner and the eclipse!

Kanali earns her Elite Containers on 9/9/17 at Companion’s Nosework trial. So very proud she finished this title!

Jeri Hajek

Allen missed the last two weeks of Tricks and Rally classes because he was finishing his conformation championship in Greeley, Colorado, with expert handler Sandy Slattum.
He is now UKC CH INT CH and AKC CH Allstar Givens LB Going All In BN CGCA TA after being named WD and BOW for a 5 point major at the Great Denver Dalmatian Club Specialty and WD with another 5 point major at the Greeley Kennel Club, Inc Dog Show. I couldn’t be prouder or happier with his performance in the conformation ring.
