Member Meeting April 2024

"
What does a well socialized dog look like?
When our students want to "socialize" their dogs, they think that means that they have to interact with every dog and human. Going to dog parks and greeting everyone who walks by.
Infact, it's just the opposite.
Instead, we tell them to "teach your dog to be calm around other dogs and humans".
This is what it looks like :)
Thank you to Donna Reiss for the photo

My sweet Ginger who spent hours in a crate for 4 days in a row! Love you my little leprechaun

WE DID IT!! WOOHOO!
It was my first time planning a Nose Work Trial from the beginning to the end. Well, they say ignorance is bliss and that's true. I happily went into this thinking "how hard could it be?" Well, a slap of reality took me from happy to despair very quickly! I was completely ignorant of all the little endless details that go into this sporting event. Halfway through, I told myself (and anyone who would listen) "I will never do this again!" But, luckily for me, I had some awesome people to help make this trial a success! Our NW Committee was awesome, planned some great search areas and supported me all the way. Susan F coaching me from her new digs in NH (bless her patience with my endless questions), Sarah C, our judge, was so kind to help me and kindly pointed me in the right direction, Ana C our visiting instructor, gave me great suggestions and guidance, John R had my back the entire time-helping me physically measure & plot out search areas when I had to see it, to believe it would work. Barbara M my cheerleader-chanting WE CAN DO IT! kept me from throwing in the towel.
The army of volunteers at the trial was impressive and made everything run as smoothly as it possibly could! Hospitality was just outstanding and delish (even though we had to put the kabash on the corned beef and cabbage! LOL)
Ashley T our trial secretary was amazing and so kind to our exhibitors! What a gem! (Thanks Faith for finding her)
My MANY MANY heartfelt thanks to all of you! YES! WE DID IT!
And now I'm feeling alittle like Brittany Spears "oops, I did it again" because we will do it again for October with Barbara taking the wheel with me as co-pilot. Wish us luck!
EDIT TO ADD: I want to shout the unsung heros of this club-The Trial Cleaning Crew! Before every event we break down the rings, put away equipment and then Frank with the scrubber, John with the leaf blower, Barbara cleaning and vacuuming everything that doesn't move, refilling Poop Bags, Toilet Paper and Paper Towel supplies. Then everyone helps to set up for the trial. Other members volunteer when they can, but these three are ALWAYS there! Thank YOU!

BIG Congrats to our own Louann Currey with Vicki & Dobby Earning Titles and Ribbons in Florida!

Louann is in Florida but is still very much a part of our club. She Teaches, Exhibits, Judges, Breeds--and misses her friends and partners here on Staten Island. She loves reading about our events and achievements. Here are some of her most recent Brags -submitted by Janet Mines Krings
"Vicki is my 12th CD and 13th Rally dog. She finished her CD, PCD with HIT and her RA at this show. Boy that makes me feel old!
My little guy, Dobby, finished his Excellent Buried title to complete his overall Scentwork Excellent. He also earned his first Masters legs. This weekend he made it off the waitlist and got into 1 day of the trial. He finished 2 Master scent titles."-Louann

Mamaraldo Cockers Going to the Agility Nationals!!

I am leaving next month with the three girls and am very excited about it!
It's an honor to qualify with one, but three! :) "

Love my boy🥰❣️ -Susan Gray

Sora Earns Her First Rally Intermediate Leg!!
Sora showed in the February SICDTC Rally trial and earned her first leg in Intermediate!!!!! We were tied for fourth place with a score of 93!!! It went to the other handler and dog team because their run time was faster than ours by 14 seconds. All good fun!! So happy she Q'd and only needs two more Qs to get her Rally Intermediate Title (hope to get them in our next trial)!!! Thanks Sam S. for being an amazing teacher and trainer because of you we have come this far!! -Liza Carrasco

SICDTC NEWEST RALLY MASTER!! Izzy Stern

Izzy is now retired from Rally-On to the fun stuff-Scentwork!

Izzy RM-RALLY MASTER!!
This brag is very special, because many of us have followed their Rally journey from the start.
Gladys had a goal- to earn a Rally Master title with little Izzy. Now those of us who know Izzy, know that she is the sweetest little senior rescue that you will ever meet! BUT whenever her terrier genes came to the fore front, she could be really -well, shall we say, "distracted"-making Gladys WORK REALLY HARD for this title!! Yes, Izzy had some great moments, which we all applauded. However, she had other moments which made Gladys have to sweat through a run (But we still applauded because Izzy is so darn adorable!) They went into the ring at our February Rally Trial needing that final 10th leg to earn their Rally MASTER & achieve that long awaited goal!
We all held our breath as they completed each sign.
THEY DID IT!!! THE CROWD WENT WILD! SUPER CONGRATS TO A FABULOUS TEAM! Lesson to be learned here is that hard work and determination is how you do things in dog training and in life!

Sarni Pups Work Hard at the February Rally Trial!

Jake 3rd place Rally Intermediate

Both Sarni
pups had qualifying runs in their classes. Poor Nova did 3 classes (Masters, Excellent and Advanced) that night and was out of gas by the last class. She qualified in all 3 classes though. Jake was his goofy self but managed a 94 for 3rd place and second leg in Intermediate. -Joann Sarni

Nova-Triple Q's in Master, Excellent & Advanced!!
