– FUN TIMES – FUN PRIZES –
Games are held in our Training Building during the Winter months. Games are designed so everyone from Beginning to Advanced can enjoy them. They may use all of the various equipment used in AKC, CPE, NADAC, and UKC which means from hoops and various jumps, tunnels, and the various contact equipment. Those who design the GAMES for that day will choose the type of game and equipment and determine the rules. The courses may be numbered as in Standard or Jumpers or they may be to gather points such as in AKC’s FAST, CPE’s Jackpot or Full House, NADAC’s Gamblers, and UKC’s Three of a Kind. This is a great way to get your dog out in a fun atmosphere that resembles a small trial but is just for the joy of the game.
