“Agility Performance Run for a Canine Athlete Sample”
Agility Champions-A Letter from a Student
Trudy won the 2014 CPE National Event High In Trial Enthusiast, Perfect Trial Award 200 Points, High in Standard, and 1st Place Games Awards with eight 1st place blue ribbons and one 2nd place red ribbon June 6-8 in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. Only 5 dogs out of 484 completed the 9 events correctly. We were honored to be among the best. This is Trudy’s third High In Trial as she won the 2007 CPE National Event High In Trial Regular in Nova Scota, and the 2012 CPE National Event High In Trial Veteran in Altamont, New York.

Please NOTE: The video is a sample run from an AKC trial, not a CPE event.
A big thank you to Dr. Susan Fife who found the iliopsoas strain in April as Trudy would not go up the front steps and came up with an exercise plan so that Trudy could run in June at the CPE National Event. Thank you Susan for helping me with Trudy so that she can run agility!
I would like to thank Racine Hyatt who helped give me internet support and encouragement for Trudy to be massaged and for her program which is very helpful to understand the importance of keeping your dog physically fit through exercise in a safe manner. It is great that Cheryl from E-Training for Dogs offers programs such as the dog fitness program that Racine teaches:
All-Fit Dog-How to Improve Fitness for Over-all Wellness
Athletic Performance Fitness Strategies: How to Condition an Athletic Performance Dog
It is important for handlers to understand dog fitness and conditioning and I need the programs that Racine teaches so I will become a better dog trainer for my Canine athletes.
