🎄🐾 Christmas Minis benefitting BDS! 🐾🎄

We're getting ready for our Winter Woodland Christmas photoshoot fundraiser with KLG Photography , and we'd love to have you and your pups join us!

We'll have a cozy winter woodland setup that's perfect for capturing some sweet holiday memories of your four-legged family members. Whether your dog loves the camera or would rather do literally anything besides sit still for a picture, all pups are welcome!

We still have a few spots available, and we'd love to fill them!

If you've been thinking about getting Christmas pictures done, this is the perfect opportunity to capture some adorable memories while supporting Bayou Dog Sports Training Club!

Even if you can't book a session, sharing this post would mean so much to us and help spread the word!

Ready to book your dog's Christmas close up? Check out the event link below for all the details and to reserve your spot!

We can't wait to see everyone and their pups! 🎅🐶

🐭 Happy Monday! While half our Board were getting ratty in Kenner with NOLA Barn Hunt Friends, the other half teamed up with volunteers to prep Tilly's Farm for our RATS-GIVING NASDA TRIAL this weekend!

👷‍♀️From clearing out overgrowth, trimming back brush, & sorting through storage areas, they got it done! BDS is committed to providing fun & safe search areas for both dogs & handlers.

🎟 Reminder of our Bayou Dog Sports Raffle Giveaway! You can purchase tickets virtually & exhibitors can purchase onsite. Drawings will be filmed live both days!

Good morning everyone!

I know we are rolling into the Halloween weekend, but we are getting closer and closer to the NASDA trial. What this means for us is that we need to do a clean up day at the trial location. We are looking for volunteers to join in on the fun! This would be on November 8th. Likely in the morning/mid-day.

Email, comment, or use the link below if you are interested and available. Our Logistics Coordinator Austynn will be in touch with more information.

Reminder the benefits to volunteering would be a free training day with club members only as well as free food on whole day events (example would be the trial) as well as free merchandise.

🤓 I was going to wait until the end of the year to do a recap of dog sport statistics for Louisiana, but due to recent conversations, I thought it was relevant to post now. There are several barriers to access that all sides face. BDS is committed to providing affordable access to quality training instruction for competitors and collaborating with other clubs to pool resources in order to host efficient events.

📊 How was this data collected? By searching the events calendars posted on each sport's official pages. If data is missing, then that is a flaw within that site.

📈 These statistics are by broad events and does not breakdown individual shows/trials/tests per broad event. For example, if a club is hosting 6 FastCAT trials over 1 weekend, then that is counted as 1 event.

🌊 NADD dock diving statistics are for the 2025 season due to the temporary relocation that occurred affecting the 2026 season.

🏆 There are inevitably sports that are unaccounted for such as breed-specific trials, specialties, other niches, or organizations that I am unfamiliar with. Feel free to post those stats in the comments!
