Have you ever wondered –
“How am I going to keep up with my dog?”
or
“Which is the best way to handle this sequence or course?”
Oriole is having Terry Herman for 2 one-day seminars on February 20 & 21, 2016 that will help you and your dog improve your performance with these two critical handling issues.
Terry Herman has been competing in agility since 1989 & teaching since 1990. She has had placements in USDAA, NADAC, & AKC Nationals with miniature poodles & Portuguese Water Dogs. Terry and Idgie (her poodle) were members of the 2014 WAO, EO & AKC World Teams. They were on the podium at the 2015 AKC Nationals, UKI US Open & USDAA Cynosports. Terry is currently competing at the Masters level with Idgie & her young PWD Dory.

Over the break between semesters, we’ve been busy getting things cleaned up and ready for next month’s classes and trials.
We do like the “kitty litter” surface used for our December AKC agility trial, but there is no denying it does leave all of our agility trial equipment pretty dusty. And with the unusual summer/fall like weather we’ve been having after Christmas this year, it was a good time to do some ‘spring’ cleaning. Thank you to those club members who were able to come at short notice this past weekend to take advantage of the nice weather to get the cleaning done.
On a different cleaning front, we’re very excited to have received our new TurfSoft TS3 machine for cleaning the sports field. It’s been a little over a year since the sports field was installed and it was time for a thorough cleaning. We’re pleased that the machine will give us a chance to do that on a more regular basis now.
