I almost forgot the best part.

This dog (Maggie) got high in trial the day I went to watch the APDT rally event with a perfect score. (not this run shown) Notice how happy she works? I cannot tell you how amazing she was to see in person. It brought tears to more than a few eyes to watch, including mine. Yes tripawds CAN have an active and fun life!

*APDT allows for disabled dogs and lets them compete. AKC does not. No discussion. I've never understood why a deaf dog can't compete in tracking when the whole event is done ON a long line. How is that a safety issue? And I ask you this, does Maggie look disabled to you?
