			<description><![CDATA[ This may not be the right place for this, but I am asking here since many of you are members of different dog sports clubs. Our flyball team is not currently
incorporated. We have very small dues, and just split up the costs of entry fees among the dog owners that are going to each tournament. We are looking into
hosting our own tournament, and the question of taxes came up. We would collect money from teams in the form of entry fees in order to cover the cost of the
venue rental, award... ]]></description>

to enter with my Aussie.

We will be doing Novice JWW Agility on Thursday, but that leaves the next three days free.

He is right at the point of knowing everything for Rally Excellent, so it&#39;s entirely possible he will Q there. And it might be good for him to get some

			<description><![CDATA[ Roscoe and I attended a Web Anderson Seminar in Odessa this weekend.
<br>
<br>
I was nervous when we pulled up and even started questioning my sanity as he started to vocalize when he saw the other dogs doing agility.  Oy!  New location,
new field, new equipment...what was I thinking?

<br>
As it turns out my fears did not come to pass and to borrow a phrase from Alix...Roscoe was a SUPERSTAR!!!  Not only did he excel in the seminar...he was calm,
relaxed, quite and behaved...what in... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I am surrounded by amazing tracking areas everywhere I go here but not sure how to go about using any of them.  Have you ever approached strangers for
permission to use their fields?  And any suggestions about the best tact to use?  There are two particular places that I&#39;m drooling over and would love to
be able to use but I think it means I need to go knock on... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ We stopped by some fields yesterday before hiking to try some tracking with Reuben, Spencer, and Sparrow, too.  I will be attempting to show a few people how
to start their dogs in tracking next week.  I&#39;m no expert, but they couldn&#39;t get anyone else to help them out, so I said I&#39;d do it.  I would love
any input on any of these videos from yesterday, especially the Reuben videos.  Dave and Reuben are my official Student Guinea Pigs.

			<description><![CDATA[ Anyone else tried one of these? It&#39;s a mesh tug toy that you can fill with squishy food that will seep through the mesh. Great for food motivated dogs that
otherwise are not into tugging.
<br>
<br>
My Aussie loves it, I smeared some cream cheese inside and he thought it was the best thing ever and tugged away! Have not tried it with the Collie yet, that
will be the real test since he is not a tug fan at all. Will post results later.

weeks ago, you may notice I didn&#39;t mention how many faults we had.  That was because there were  <u>many</u>, primarily time faults because I didn&#39;t
rush him and a couple of times in the ring it appeared that he was surprised and scared by the, to him, sudden appearance of the judge on course.  His reaction
at these times was to... ]]></description>

One friend will only use Susan Garrett&#39;s 2 pole program, she has had great success with this one. So that would be a big investment for me, looks like
roughly $80.00 for the video and and another chunk for the special setup, but this is a sport I really want to pursue with Sophie. So just trying to decide how
to spend my slim amount... ]]></description>
