Thank you to everyone who participated and volunteered at our club trial this past weekend. We had a good turnout both days and everyone enjoyed themselves. A huge thanks to our judge, Stanley Craddock, who explained some of the intricacies of points and scoring in both RH and IGP. We all learned so much from him!! Thanks also to Marion Swetzer, who let us use her field for the IGP portion.

A HUGE thanks to Southern Arizona Schutzhund Club for hosting the IGP trial this weekend. Marion Swetzer had absolutely everything super organized and the trial was well-run, on-time, and went very smoothly for all 3 days. The judge, Jim Chrisp, was fair, funny, and explained everything, including a couple small but super important details, that helped make everyone successful. But especially a HUGE thanks to Marion for working with me and putting up with all my whining for 3 long years. Dodger earned his IGP3 at this trial, in large part to Marion taking me under her wing and teaching ME so I could teach my dog and be successful.
