Throwback Thursday to the AKC Agility Trial on February 6-8th. With over 570 entries, we had a barkin’ good time watching clean runs and seeing happy handlers leaving the ring. And when we weren’t running, we enjoyed specialty coffee by our own Tiffanie Lopatin and created customizable “Brag Tags” with Robynn Modder.

We wrapped the weekend celebrating Team Teddi and Linda for taking home the Grand Champion title! That’s 450 Q’s right there!

This past weekend, we had a professional from the Pet Emergency Education to teach a class on CPR and First Aid to our pups. Through demonstrations, warning signs to look for when something doesn’t seem right, and what to do when they need our help! CPR isn’t just for humans and the life you save could be your pet!

Big thanks to both Marc Fischer and Jo Ann Sawyer for organizing this informative event and for the life saving knowledge from the Pet Emergency Education!
