If you are looking for some US Open practice, this G6-7 Jumpers course from Ivan Amez is currently set up in the arena. The aframe and teeter are along the side if you want to work on those too. This will be broken down on Thursday to prep for the seminar this weekend. Send me a message if you'd like to rent the ring this week.

Our 3rd Monster Mash is complete. This year we had a record breaking entry with 17 prize bags and over $1000 in cash won by some super cool teams. The spirit of this event is top notch - just people and dogs trying hard things and enjoying themselves no matter the outcome. It was difficult to judge because I kept getting caught up in enjoying the runs and then I would realize "oh, yeah, the teeter!" and have to get into place to see the contact. I hope you all left inspired and excited about the future of agility because I certainly did.

The only picture I grabbed is the awards table before the finals while handlers were walking the course.

Thank you to everybody who showed up, helped course build, run leashes, set bars and every little thing that needs to happen for a trial to be successful. Thank you to all of the competitors for such excellent displays of sportsmanship all day. And thank you so much to Close Enough Farm for letting us use their indoor arena, it was a perfect venue.

I'm considering a winter/spring version leading up to EOTT or WTT so stay tuned!

The Monster Mash is next Sunday! We have 29 dogs entered so far, which means in addition to this assortment of treats and toys to be won, there's over $700 in the prize pot. And because I have no impulse control and bought too much (probably why I get along so well with the Pyr Sheps), we're doing an Elimination raffle again this year.

Here we go! Our first event of the year and we are ready to roll. I'm excited to welcome everybody back to the Monster Mash, our unsanctioned ISC style cup. Come join us for a fun day of playing with dogs, challenging ourselves and winning loot. Entries will open next week, September 6th via an online form (link will be posted at that time).

Things I forgot to mention:
-ISC scoring
-Enter any jump height your dog needs

AKC's agility league has started and the ISC jumpers course is built (the contacts are set up on the side for practice). We are open for ring rentals and lessons Friday-Sunday if anybody wants to come out and play.

Private Lesson Availability!

For the first time this year, I'm opening a few hours up for private lessons at Monster Meadows.

Tuesday May 14th from 7-10am and 5:30-7:30pm (the evening may get rained out). We can do half hour for one dog or full hour for multiple dogs. Shoot me a message with what time you'd like to come out and if you have any specific skills you want to work on.

We're back! Sort of.

Due to life happenings, there will not be any seminars or events hosted by me until 2024. That means the Monster Mash is cancelled, but should return next year. Other instructors have rented the arena for their own workshops, but all questions and registrations will go through them (more info on that shortly). I'm only booking private lessons for previous students - no group classes or new students at this time. I still teach weekly at Level Up and am happy to see new faces there. Of course ring rentals are back on now that the weather has cooled off and I can better maintain the surface.

Speaking of the surface, over the summer I let the grass grow in the arena to see if it would help with moisture retention and prevent me from having to water it as frequently. It worked! I'll keep evaluating things as the temperature drops and if in the end it would be better with just sand, then I'll drag it all up again.

Finally, the Bar Hoppers are using Monster Meadows as their AKC league facility, which means every 2 weeks a new ISC style course is built. The first map for this session is posted below.

Enjoy!

Absolutely loved hosting Tammy Moody the past few days. Tomorrow she heads to North Carolina for more teaching, but don't worry, she'll be back soon! Thank you to everybody who came out, the weather was unseasonably warm but every dog rose to the challenge. I hope each team walked away with feelings of success and a list of skills to practice (I know I did - lateral backsides anybody?).

It's a beautiful day for a seminar and it's not too late to join us!
