Dogs ... Ready! Set! |
On Sunday February 5th, the MDTC rolled
out its brand new mats at Western Waukesha Dog Training Club
to host our very first Mock Flyball Tournament. Mock Tournaments
are all about having fun and giving new dogs and handlers
the opportunity to run in "tournament like" conditions
before trying out the real thing. MDTC added two of its own
teams to the 5 other entries from 3 different clubs. All competitors
got their money's worth at this fun and relaxing tournament
as the rather small number of entries gave all of the dogs
many opportunities to play the game. Positive comments from
many of our guests were heard so we hope the word gets out
that MDTC's Mock Tournaments are the place to be. Check out
the photos below!
The overwhelming support of the club up to, and including
that day, contributed to our success, and a huge thank you
goes out to all of those who helped. Our judge for the day
was Mark Haslam who kept the racing fun, fast and clean. Tournament
Director responsibilities were shared by Sarah Willems and
Kira Haslam. Evan and Sam Emmons managed the kitchen and saw
to it that good food was had by all including the yummy chili
which was prepared by Richard Michalski and Pam Caldwell.
Other volunteers pitching in included Karen Michalski, Paula
DeTemple, Sally Haldorson, Mark Anderson, Marnie Hammerle,
Nicole Reiner, Mari Pavleje, Chris Cowles, Kimberly Follett,
Tom Herbert, Sue Steinbach, Deb Jumes and Charlie Mundt.
