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!

Today is National Dress Up Your Pet Day

Time to get out the halloween costume, cutesy coat, or even just a bandana. Today is National Dress Up Your Pet Day!
Share your images of your pet’s best dressed on Online Dog Coach’s Facebook Page.
January’s featured lesson is on Crate Training. Teaching your dog to enjoy going into the kennel helps alleviate their stress during crating for travel, agility trials, when Fido needs to be out of the way for a short time, and for vet visits or boarding.
If you have questions or tips to share with others, please post them here.
Happy Training!
