Agility training for puppies focuses on building confidence and foundational skills in a fun and safe way, prioritizing their developing bodies. Start with basic obedience like sit, down, and stay, and incorporate exercises that improve balance and coordination. Introduce agility equipment gradually, keeping sessions short and positive, and focus on building a strong bond with your puppy through positive reinforcement and play.

Wow Wednesday 7/30/25

- Alex, Gabby & Charlotte (Golden Retrievers) - Gabby & I got to dabble a little at the DACLI AKC scent work trial last weekend at Doggie U! Team Gabby excelled as we qualified in 3 of 4 classes. We qualified in Excellent Exterior receiving a title, Qualified in Excellent interior for leg #9 towards Elite and got our first leg in Excellent Buried! Yay! Baby Charlotte spent the weekend greeting some of our long island scent friends & making some new friends. Thank you to the club for a great trial and the opportunity for all exhibitors to crate indoors in the AC and to the amazing Judges Terri Marinier & David Eisenbacher.

- (Instructor) Teri / (Handler) Sue / Ilsa (Papillon) - While Faith and I were working hard at PCOTC, it was another banner day for Ilsa and Susan Scelzi at the DACLI scentwork trial. Q's in container, interior, and buried which gave Ilsa her Novice buried title. She is also more than halfway to her Elite containers and interiors. For me the mark of a good instructor is the success of their students, and the mark of a great instructor and great friend is to make a student's dog shine, which is exactly what Susan did this weekend.

- John & Storm (Schipperke) - Exciting travel day to the double Quaker City Doberman Pinscher Club AKC Rally trials at Up Front Dog Center in NJ. The Storm swept in taking 2 more Choice Qs, 2 Master Qs, 2 Triple MEA Qs, our RAE3 Title, and several high 91+ scores to gain some RACH Championship Points! Special thanks to judges Anne Rosenberg and Laura Rixham.

- Rolissa & Split (Biewer Terrier) – a stupendous weekend packed with great pointers, tips n tricks, fun, and Agility! Team Split took to the floor and got the chance to work hands on with special guest Stacy Goudy at Doggie U for a 3-day weekend packed with agility seminars. It was a pleasure working with Stacy & seeing the amazing improvement so many handlers & dogs experienced in minor technicalities! We miss Stacy!

- John & Storm (Schipperke) – We our first ever PERFECT 100 SCORE in AKC Rally at the beautiful Princeton Dog Training Club in NJ with awesome judge Sylvia Brownlee! It’s been a challenge to grab that extra point with the 99s and I’m so proud of Storm for keeping it 100 throughout a whole course at a facility we’ve never been to before. Also achieved our 21st and 22nd Master Qs plus several RACH points. Thanks to Mara Bee for inspiring 💪🏼🐺
