Fall trial prep season is upon us!
There’s no secret to success and high scores in IGP…. It’s earned through the grind. 💪

Sometimes it’s improving speed of dumbell pickups, sometimes it’s reworking rewards in heeling to create different attitudes…. And sometimes it’s renting soccer fields for proofing trial picture in new locations!

- Chelsea & Harlow with their BH
- Greg & Athena with their UPR1
- Megan & Gus with their FPR1
- Scott & Harlee with their FPR3

And to finish it off with a 3 day tracking camp with Sam Adams!

That's a wrap... for now

Congratulations to everyone and all your hard work!

Our club had a fantastic weekend trialing!
Boasting every single trialing member who tracked putting up scores in the 90’s!!
Alex & Mordecai - 98
Alex and Siren - 96
Scott and Harlee - 94
Megan and Gus - 96

These kind of scores come from lots of practice and work! So today after one day off from the trial we’re back to the grind with day 1 of Sam Adams tracking seminar!

🐕🏆🐾We would love to welcome our 18th IGP 3 ENTRY! Mrs. Ester Pullano & B'Kricket Ot Vitosha!

🐾 Kriket and I are very excited and honored to enter our first championship for both of our first IGP3 together!

A frosty morning of tracking. And so many shenanigans... Greg adopted a tracking cat, Chelsea decided to be showline-esque today, and Lynn indicated articles all on her own 😂🫶💕

Overall a beautiful fall morning for tracking as a club 😀

10/06/2024

As a club, we started a new tradition of a monthly club tracking day. Dedicated to all our members and our dogs. Today was full of learning and working in some pretty challenging conditions. Between the wind and field conditions, overall, we all had different takeaways and things to work on. Great job everyone! 🐕‍🦺🍁🍂🍃
