Wag It Games Trial!

OK, so short story:  I ROCKED at the recent Wag It Games trial on June 10, 2011!

My Mom entered me in all six classes:  Shadow Skills, Independent Skills and No Need for Speed Skills.  And I got perfect scores of 100 in EVERY class!!!  Those qualifying “legs” finished up three new titles for me:

WAG 1 S = Novice Shadow Skills.  Teams perform a numbered course with the dog shadowing the handler’s movement.  Dogs heel on both sides and perform a variety of twists, turns and other maneuvers.

WAG 1 I = Novice Independent Skills.  The dog performs a variety of exercises with the dog moving towards, away from or at a distance from the handler.

WAG 1 O = Novice Obstacle Skills.  The dog will perform a course of obstacle based exercises ranging from climbing steps and crossing bridges to passing through hoops and riding scooters.  There is no need for speed but team work, confidence and skill make up this game.

Sumac Johnson, the creator of Wag It Games, even put little “heart pawprint” charms on MY ribbons!  ‘Cause I’m special, you know!  I’m in the “Heart Dog Program” so, I get special treatment!  And of course, I think I deserve all this special treatment! 🙂  The Heart Dog’s get special circumstances based on their disabilities.  For instance, I can’t do steps or push a scooter being 3 legged now.  I am judged only against myself because of this.  But even if I did have 4 legs, I’d beat my little sister’s butt BIG TIME! He-he!!

If anyone is interested in the Games, the website is:  www.wagitgames.com !  Interested in hosting an event?  Contact Sumac!  She now has training centers out of state starting classes!  She even got an inquiry from a trainer in the UK!  Great fun!  Highly recommended!  And the BEST part, of course, is that disabled dogs can play too!!

That’s all from this neck of the woods!

Keep on hoppin’!

Maggie was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma on her left knee. She had amputation done on October 20, 2009. Four days after surgery she had a low grade fever and was off her food for two weeks! Trying times.. I am grateful and so pleased with how she is progressing now.
