Agility Fun Day - June 13, 2026

Agility Fun Day - June 13, 2026

An Agility Fun Day was held at Gas City Dog Club - Outdoor Training area on June 13. The weather co-operated giving us a warm (not hot!), sunny day with just a hint of a breeze.

A total of 7 dog/handler teams registered for the event - some staying for just one or two runs of the course and some staying the entire time and getting in 4 runs through the course.

Each run was timed and scored for number of faults, with the score sheets returned to the handler at the end as a learning tool!

Participants and observers enjoyed the day and the dogs left ready for a good sleep once they got home.

The next fun day will be a Rally Obedience Fun Day on July 4, 2026 in the outdoor area . To register, call Sterling at 403-526-6779. Hope to see you there!

Special thanks to those who helped set up the equipment and clean up after the event!
