If anyone is interested in seeing a great event, the nationals is in Pittsburgh this year. The venue is the same as last year, located on the Ohio River.

I have several club members going. Wish I could go watch. Hopefully Waine will be there with IPO Nation Live.

That would be fun to watch! I was checking out the photographer's page - Brian Aghajani - he has some awesome pictures on his site!

 

[Jax08]

Brian has mad talent.

If I still lived in Pennsylvania, I would try to make it. That would be exciting to see. Is anyone from the forum going to be there to compete or watch?

I will be there to watch and help in the group. Unfortunately, I had to pull my dog from IGP competition this year.

I'm going to watch! I'm getting another puppy within the next few months and I want to get into the sport

If it was closer it is a 7 hour+ ride.

Which dog? Not your female?

Which dog? Not your female?

No. My boy. Grass allergies. He starts agility in January. Pretty bummed we didn't get to do a national and show him off. He worked so hard over the winter.

 

[lhczth]

I remember you telling me about him. Yes, that does suck!

Can anyone go to this event to just watch? My new pup will be coming home next week and I would love to take him to the event to watch, if possible. Is there a fee for guests to enter and watch?

Yes, you can come to watch. Dogs are allowed in the parking lot but NOT at the field.

Yes, there is an entry fee. It's pretty low usually like about $10 or $15.

I would not advise bringing an unvaccinated puppy to a large event. The dogs are vaccinated but you never know what germs are lurking around.

Thank you Jax08!

Can you try allergy shots?

 

[Jax08]

Can you try allergy shots?

He gets allergy shots. It's not enough to keep him tracking on grass.

Competition starts Friday at 8am in the stadium.

$5/day, $12 for the weekend! Vendors will be there. Usually at least 3 equipment Vendors, training vest vendors, etc.

Yes, I did that last year and my dog was about 5 months old. I need some new dog toys.....
