In this first week of open class, we are talking about fun ways to use a behavior before the reward in order to prevent the dog from thinking about moving forwards towards us.

Ginny is apparently a bit rusty in her reverse sends!
#dogsports #dogtraining

If I hear a person tell their dog once “no sniff “then I’ll be hearing it 100 more times.

Ginny found the environment at the UKI invitational tough. A ton of sniffing that I felt was both a mixture of stress, and also some opportunistic searching for the thousands of crumbs. #dogsports #agility

Added the bib numbers! Race begins in about three hours from now (12:30pm AKDT). #MusherSky #Kobuk440 #SledDogs #BeepBoop #DogSports #Alaska

Everyone on the trail is now off the trail. Volunteers will finish clearing checkpoints of straw and drop bags. Mushers will finally rest (maybe, Nome has a party scene during Iditarod). And they will EAT and CELEBRATE Sunday. #Iditarod54 #DogSports #Alaska

Mixed breed dog chasing the lure and almost has it!

Pembroke Welsh Corgi running as fast as it can chasing the lure.

Kerry Blue Terrier goes airborne as it chases the lure.

Mixed breed dog biting at the lure at the end of the 100 yard dash.

A few of the competitors from the recent Acadiana Kennel Club's Fast Cat event (Cat stands for "Coursing Apptitude Test). It's a hundred yard dash chasing a trash bag on a string. Dogs love it immensely.
