Team Performance Plus traveled to York, PA in August 2008 to compete in the All Star Obedience, Agility and Rally Championships. For some of the team members this was their first time participating in such a high level competition. They were thrilled to be there and enjoyed themselves tremendously. They relished the opportunity to be part of such an event. Participation in this event had to be earned by attaining a certain score level in the class or classes that constituted each division. The divisions were Novice, Open, Utility and Super Star. This event is a great experience for anyone who aspires to do well and earn above-average scores. Everyone performed beautifully and Performance Plus is very proud of them. We are looking forward to attending the next tournament…come join us!
Wahoo! Let’s train.
Nancy Droukas and her Golden Retriever, Twist placed in the top 10 of the Open Division, Melissa DePasquale and her Doberman, Brody placed in the top 10 of the Novice Division, Beth Gwillim and her Yellow Lab, Jenna, Carolyn Goudreau and her Golden Retriever, Gunther, Janet Steeger and her Australian Shepherd, Nealy showed superbly in the Novice Division (L-R)
