Huge congratulations to our past students Ruby and Shannon for winning First and Second Place at the Charlotte, NC A.K.C. Agility Trials held October 10th and 11th 2009. Ruby scored 100 out of 100 points and 91 out of 100 points which gave her 2 qualifying runs in Standard Course. Ruby took her first Agility Course this past spring at our Mooresville, NC location and continued on with agility training under the direction of Linda Taylor at our Matthews, NC location. From day one Ruby and her owner were special. Both were ready to learn and were extremely enthusiastic about working on their agility skills. Shannon watched and listened to instructions, Ruby, though, was quite a handful. She pulled on the leash and was running all over the place. The second lesson proved what she was made of. I asked for a volunteer to demonstrate the homework I had assigned during the previous agility class and Ruby and Shannon stepped up. I watched in awe as they did close to perfect front crosses and jumps. Ruby and her owner had really done their homework and worked as a team perfecting the jumps and hand signals. After a few classes Shannon told me she was going to enter Ruby in the upcoming Agility Trials. The Agility Class was just for fun, but with hard work and true dedication to the sport that fun can take you down a more challenging road.
