Woot! Ran a plan I never walked in Snooker; being in rotation 1 of 7 in games isn’t ideal, but hopefully it’ll hold for Savi at least. Many 🙏 thanks to fellow Ohioan Kara Sheerer with Lore for sharing for that last minute plan! Fingers crossed 🤞 for us! Dude has been in games finals before, maybe this year will be Savi’s year 🤪

🔥DUDE🔥 was on fire this last weekend at Rising Star Canine Ranch for the Pumpkin Spice ISC Cup. Man he leveled up, what a RUSH. Holy 💩 Dude. Way to bring it.  He’s clobbering Savi’s times all of a sudden 🤯 and she’s no slouch. Can’t wait to do some overlays. 

My absolute favorite course of the weekend was Saturday’s J3 (map in the comments). Thanks for that course Neil, I was so excited to run it (twice!) even though I ran out of gas a bit at the end with Dude 😂 

I guess I need more than a ten dog break in between if I’m gonna run like my 👖 are on 🔥

AKC ISC Championship 2024:
🧡🔥Savi🔥🧡 - Round 1 was a 🗑️ 🔥 for Savi and me, but we recovered nicely and did some really nice things together last weekend. A couple of the distances were a little more snug than Savi was expecting but she was a good girlie. 

She didn’t float up in the placements due to this or that, but had the fastest time in round 4, sneaked in to 4th place, made the Finals, and was the fourth place dog cumulatively! 

Just a couple misfires here and there but definitely tracking in the right direction 💪🏻

More About Daisy Peel

"Advanced handling is merely more precise application of the fundamentals"

Dog agility is my life, and my passion! 

I got hooked on the sport in 1998, when I was still working on my Masters Degree in Math & Science Education. Teaching is also my passion! Teaching dog agility brings together my love of teaching and of helping others be the best they can be in the sport of dog agility. 


I started teaching online in 2011, when I realized just how many people I could help all over the world! Several years later, The Agility Challenge was formed. Through The Agility Challenge, I've helped thousands of agility handlers from all over the world on their dog agility journey.


While I do have a long list of competitive achievements, some of my most memorable successes have come from the accomplishments of my students and Agility Challenge Members. Nothing brightens my day quite like hearing from a Member who has been helped by feedback and content in The Agility Challenge! I hope you'll join me and the rest of The Agility Challenge Contributors!


I am looking forward to working with you,
