🍁🐾 FALL FUN & FAST CAT! 🐾🍁

What could be better than crisp autumn weather and watching your dog do what they love most… RUN! 🐕💨

Join the Staten Island Companion Dog Training Club for our October FAST CAT trials!

FAST CAT is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs chase a moving lure (yes, it's really just a plastic bag! 😂). It's an exciting way for your pup to have fun and show off their natural speed!

🐾 New to FAST CAT? No problem! No special training is required, the course is fully enclosed, and our friendly crew will help you through the process while cheering on your pup!

📅 October 31 – November 1, 2026
🏁 Two trials each day!
📍 Ev-RY Place
1333 Hainesport Road, Mount Laurel, NJ

🎉 SPOTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!

Register through the FAST CAT entry link on our club website. Day-of entries may be accepted if space permits, but availability is limited and fees are higher.

🎃🐾 Halloween Is Almost Here! Keep Your Pups Safe! 🐾👻

With Halloween just around the corner, the Staten Island Companion Dog Training Club wants to remind everyone to keep those tempting treats away from curious noses and paws! 🐶🍬

🍫 Chocolate is toxic to dogs and can cause serious health problems.

🍬 Sugar-free candy and gum may contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is extremely dangerous for dogs.

🍇 Raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs, even in small amounts.

🍭 Candy wrappers can become choking hazards or cause intestinal blockages if swallowed.

🐕 Safety Tip: Keep Halloween candy in a secure location, remind children not to share their treats with pets, and have some dog-friendly goodies on hand so your furry friends can join the fun safely! 🦴🧡

🚨 If your dog gets into chocolate or other potentially toxic treats, contact your veterinarian or an animal poison control service immediately.

Let's make this Halloween spooky, sweet, and SAFE for all our four-legged friends! 🎃🐕‍🦺👻

STAR EARNS A DOUBLE SCENTWORK NOVICE HIGH IN TRIAL!!

Star won her second HIT in novice at the Westie trial in Kimberton Pa. yesterday.

We are getting very close to finishing our overall novice elite title. We’ve finished her exterior and have two legs to spare. In the other three elements, we need between one and three legs to finish.

NOR'EASTER?
NO PROBLEM FOR SAFFI!

This past weekend, an "interesting" mix of horizontal rain, VERY high winds, and drizzle, were the backdrop to my Saffi earning her first field points (on rabbit) with a third place in the Combined Open stake. It was also her first field trial weekend so I am doubly proud of her. Now we have to dry out.
