Ikey tried the agility at the Appleton Pet Expo this last weekend. The first day was a novice course, the next day they did a colors course and a jackpot course. I didn't try for the bonus on the first jackpot we ran because the send was farther than he would do but the second time they changed it a little and he got it! It was really fun and it was really great that it was open to all of the dogs at the fair!

As a part of the Alaskan Malamute Club of Wisconsin's goal to educate the public, we do an annual sled +/- weight pull demonstration. It's a fun time for club members because we can bring our dogs out in a weight pull setting and basically run a public training session. It also gives us a chance to try new things, like driving our dogs. Driving is where the handler stands back by the cart and gives commands, much like sledding. A lot of dogs won't weight pull that way--even if they are sled ...

A bunch of us got together after Best of Breed and before the awards banquet to spend some time doing what our dogs enjoy. It was really fun! And a safety note: it really is NOT safe to run your dogs in front of a bike unless their ON-BY command is really solid!

Travis earned his Novice Agility and Novice Jumpers titles at the Fond Du Lac All-Breed Agility trial. That day he had two perfect scores and two first placements. Layla had a decent run as well, she'd had a bad experience on the a-frame a week before--didn't think it would affect her for the trial but it did. Love her weaving!

The Take Off! In Lead: the bouncy one is 6 year old Bella, Storm Kloud's As Good As It Gets WWPDX WTD WPD WLD ROMWD, next to her is 3.5 year old son Ikey, Powderhound's The Ike-Man Cometh WWPDX WTD WPD. In Wheel behind Bella is 3.5 year old son Vinnie, Powderhound's My Cousin Vinny WWPDX WTD WLD WPD and next to him is 6 month old Lucy, Powderhound's Blaze of Glory--her first time running in a team.

Ikey running the course at the Waukesha County Pet Expo agility fun match. We had the opportunity to try a real course for a small donation. Our second run was vastly improved but sadly I have no video. This is his third time on any course, I didn't have a clue where I was going, and I was running in flip flops. It's possible we embarrassed the breed but who cares, we had fun!
