Everyone did great and we all had fun with our "Sniffers" over the weekend! 😁 Big thank you to the Northstar Rottweiler Club for putting on a great trial, and also for taking a moment of silence to honor soldiers who never made it home and remember what Memorial Day is all about. ❤

Nicole with Nash and Spryte had a great weekend... Nash went 6/6 and Spryte went 6/8. Nash earned his Novice Container Title and Spryte earned her Novice Interior Elite and moved to Advanced Interior. She Q'd in trial 1 but missed the second hide in trial 2 but Nicole was still amazed and very proud of how she did in her first advanced interior searches!!

Stacey and Dory went 7/8 finishing their Novice Buried Element Title and earning their overall Scentwork Novice Title. They are loving the game and doing great!

Andi and her Golden boys... Raleigh Q'd 4 for 4, got two 4th places, and one 3rd place in novice containers, earning his Novice A Container Title. Maverick Q'd 3 out of 4. Placed 2nd and 3rd in novice interiors, and got his Advanced Containers Title, and Novice A Interior Title.

Zelda qualified in 15 of 16 searches placing 1st once, 3rd 6 times & 4th 4 times, earning her Buried and Exterior Element Titles completing her Scentwork Novice Title and working on her Novice Elites. As we were getting ready to leave they called me up because she also got a Judges Choice Award. ❤ The judge said she was chosen for her enthusiasm and because she was fun while she was working! So proud of her!!! 😁

It was beautiful weather and a perfect weekend spent with friends and dogs!

So fun for a bunch of us to go hang out together at a Scent Work Trial (in the beautiful weather) with our pups! 💕🌞🐾 Huge thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way!!!

Andi and her Golden boys did great! Raleigh ran Novice Containers for the 1st time, qualifying in both of his runs. Maverick ran in Advanced Container, and Novice Interior for the first time this weekend, and qualified in all of them placing 3rd in one of his Container runs.

Nicole is very proud of her furry friends... Spryte took her first shot at Advanced and did great! She had big classes and qualified 8 of 8 placing a 1st, 2-2nd's, a 3rd and 2-4ths in those classes! Nash tried Novice containers for the first time qualifying in both placing 1st and 2nd. What a great first trial for him!

Stacey had a blast with Dory who went 7/8 (placing a 1st and a 4th) and titling in Novice Containers, Interiors and Exteriors! She also got her first leg in Buried.

Zelda and I are working on Novice Element and Novice Elite titles. She qualified 5 of 6... 2 Interior (toward Elite), 2 Containers (earning her Novice Containers title) and 1 Buried. The only class she didn't qualify in was Exteriors because she would rather hunt squirrels than Birch. Who could blame her! 🤣We will keep working on that one!!! 😁

And of course, special thanks to our pups for always being good sports and working their little hearts out for us! ❤️

Congratulations to Jess and River! Team River had another very successful trial taking first place in both classes they entered! Watching Jess and River and the joy they share when they are working together always brings a smile! ❤ Zelda and I also had a wonderful weekend! She ticked the broad jump in Standard, so no Q there, but qualified with first place in her Jumpers class. To say agility trials have been a challenge for us would be an understatement, but Saturday she was finally able to hold it together and gave me all she could in both runs. I couldn't be more proud of her! 😊 Huge THANK YOU to Melissa, Beth, and Brooke (along with many other agility friends) for being there with her and I through all the different stages of training, and always being supportive and encouraging! ❤

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!

When needed, this workshop can be modified for more novice dogs looking to introduce these advanced skills.
