Denver’s largest dog show of 2012 is scheduled for this February 17th-20th at the National Western Complex. Hosted by the Colorado Kennel Club & Plum Creek Kennel Club, this dog show features Conformation (Breed), Obedience, Rally Obedience, and Dog Agility. There is also a enormous contingent of vendors with everything a dog lover could want including treats, toys, books, kennels, crate pads, etc.
Competition times vary, but you are sure to see the most action between 9am and 2pm. Things to know before you go:
- Bring some cash as there is a fee for parking ($8 per day) and entrance (not sure what it is there year)
- Only dogs that are entered in the competition are allowed
- Baby strollers are not allowed in the building
- Please keep an eye on children and make sure to get permission from the dog’s owner before touching any dog.
February’s featured lesson is Take a Bow. Give the living room audience a bit “ta da” with this playful trick.
If you have questions or tips for others, please post them here!
Happy Training!
Rankine and Aaron continue their quest for USDAA National qualifications at this weekend’s Southwest Agility Team (SWAT) trial in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Today, Rankine will be competing with Ayr (the border collie) in performance versatility pairs with hopes of earning a qualifier that will allow them to compete at USDAA Nationals which will be held in Denver, Colorado. Rankine will also be trying to earn qualifiers to complete his performance agility championship and perhaps a Grand Prix or Steeplechase qualifier.
Updates to come throughout the weekend – lets hope it’s good!
