Very proud of this Jill x Poker daughter PAI. Here is a list (yes, she's been that busy) of her 2024 accomplishments:

Rally
WCRL:
Level 1-AOE*
Level 2-AOE*
Level 3-AOE*
ARCH (All Rally Champion)
ARCHX (All Rally Champion Excellent)
Level 1 Championship
Level 2 Championship
- We are currently working towards our ARCHEX (All Rally Champion Extraordinaire).
*AOE – Award of Excellence: appended to the title when the first three scores are 190 or higher. 210 is a perfect score (if you attempt the 10 pt bonus), which she has earned many times so far.

AKC:
Novice
Intermediate
Advanced
Excellent
- We are currently working towards our Master/RAE (Rally Advanced Excellent)/RACH (AKC Rally Champion). She just started in the Master class a couple weeks ago and earned a 99 and a perfect 100 for her first scores! She consistently scores in the very high 90s in Rally.

Agility
CPE:
Speedway Elite
CL1-R (Level 1 – Standard)
CL1-H (Level 1 – Handler)
CL1-F (Level 1 – Fun)
- We are working on earning one more Q in Jackpot to earn her CL1-S (Level 1 – Strategy) and her overall Level 1 title.
- She already has several Qs in the Level 2 classes and is started to work towards some of her Level 2 titles.

AKC:
ACT2
NF (Novice FAST)
- We are working on earning one more Q to finish her Novice Standard title, and 2 more to finish her Novice Jumpers title.

Scent Work
CPE:
CSS-L1
- She needs 1 more Q in Containers, Exterior, and Interior to finish up her CSS-L2 title. She has already earned Qs in her L3 vehicle searches.

AKC:
VSWB (Virtual Scent Work – Beginner)
- We have been taking formal classes for the past year and will probably do a few trials in 2025. She’s incredibly good at it (and loves it!), but our schedule doesn’t allow for a lot of scent work trials right now.

Miscellaneous:
3rd place in a 100-Container Challenge
- For fun, we entered a 100-Container Challenge that was being held nearby. There were 100 containers and an unknown number of hides. The goal was to find all the hides, with no wrong calls (they would earn penalty points), in the shortest time possible. Paikea and I just went for fun and to practice as a team, so imagine my surprise when we were notified at the end of the day that not only did we find ALL 11 hides, we did it with no wrong calls, AND in the 3rd fastest time! She was one of only a few dogs who found all the hides without any wrong calls.

Dock Diving
NADD:
DJ (Dock Junior)
- We started competing very late in the season since I thought we would need more time to learn to jump from the big dock, be comfortable jumping from new docks, and practice a good, fast water retrieve (instead of just going out for a swim) but she got in there and was ready to go! We are looking forward to the upcoming season!

IDS:
- No, new titles since we started so late BUT we did earn an invite to the International Dog Sports Dock Diving Championship! She qualified in the Velocity class. She was so eager to jump that she actually broke her collar and had a false start so only one of her two jumps counted. We didn’t place with the “big dogs”, but we had fun!

We’ve had an incredible year with so many different adventures; I can’t wait to see what fun 2025 has in store for us!

after a long break I am finally back into writing my blog. take a peak at the kick off for 2025

Make no excuses Aug22 When it comes to working with any animals but especially dog I cannot accept people who make excuses. What I suggest instead is to learn to analyze the situation and then work on figuring out a solution. You will have far more success and in many cases a lot more fun. Think abo...

Love hearing from the pup's owners, especially since today is the one year birthday for the Rylee and Loki pups. Happy Birthday

"Good morning Debby. You may recall that last February my son and I came to West Virginia to pick up our chocolate puppy from the Rylee and Loki litter born on December 18. This puppy (Wally / Chillbrook Easy Goer) turns one today and I wanted you to know that he has been the most amazing dog. He is extremely intelligent. His ability to quickly learn whatever has been taught to him has been very impressive. He has brought much happiness to my family and all that know him. We have kept him very busy with activities and training and many trips hiking, fishing, etc. He is up for anything and everything that we offer him (and loves water activities!). The quality that is most impressive is his temperament. Since we brought him back to Oklahoma in February, he has been the most calm and peaceful dog. He is just perfect in every way and we could not be happier with him. Thank you again for sharing one of your wonderful puppies with us, he has brought us great joy! Attached is a picture of him from yesterday on a walk around the downtown Oklahoma City park. He is a very handsome dog! Hope you have a great Christmas!

I love when my students get excited to come to lessons. My favorite Basset “ Goodie “ can’t for her person to get the leash on. Tells me we’re doing something right to keep her motivated like this.
