We had an awesome drop-in training on Aug. 17. Instructor Katrina went above and beyond building giving participants chances to work with a multitude of distractions (helium balloon, almost lifesize scarecrows, toys, covered food, equipment not to mention all the other dogs and handlers. Dogs got a lot opportunity to work in a hustling enviroment and proof ring gates. The dogs and handlers did amazing - Great Job!

🐾 Congratulations to MC and Zoe on earning two titles: Canine Good Neighbour (CGN) and Rally Novice!

Zoe is a Gerberian Shepsky with plenty of personality. As a puppy, she was cute, sassy and already showing a stubborn, independent streak.

“My friends don’t understand why I spend so much time training my dog. My answer is: if you want a dog, be a responsible owner.”

With two years of consistent training and close collaboration with TNT’s instructors Zoe has come a long way. MC says the experience has helped him build a strong bond with Zoe and create the foundation for giving her the best life possible. "Thanks Katrina for your tireless effort!!!".

We’re so proud of everything this team has accomplished. Congratulations, MC and Zoe! 💙

Earlier this year, Piekko and Badger, along with their owners Barb & Leslie, took on the Spring CARO Virtual Trial and picked up a couple of legs in Team Intermediate! 🎉🐾

Piekko is definitely royalty, while Badger is quite convinced she’s a princess too. 👑😂 Somehow, it works!

Barb & Leslie send a huge thank-you to TNT Rally instructor Kat for her amazing coaching, encouragement, and for helping this team put it all together! ❤️🐕🏆
