10 years of disc doggin’ in the pacific NW

Our disc club celebrated its 10th year this season.  I’m glad to count this dedicated group of individuals as friends.  We only have 10 members plus spouses and manage to host 8 competitions a year and numerous demos spreading the love.  Every dog in the club save on is a rescue and all of our members you positive training methods.  Kess is just one of many special stories and dogs in the long history of WOOFD2.  I put together this video to commemorate the occasion.  You can see my childhood dog Coco followed by Kess and finally Suki at 3:10.   Canine dis is but one chapter of my life with dogs, but it has brought about a profound difference in my understanding of training and really looking into the mind of a dog.  I’ve done a lot of soul searching about dog sport and the inherent risk to the animals, but there’s no sense in owning a Ferrari if you never take it out for a drive.  Kess has the heart of an athlete, I take steps to make things as safe as possible, and always have her best interest at heart.  Kess’s two years of crate rest were almost unbearable, some days I think she’s just trying to make up for lost time 🙂
