On March 15-17, 2013 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the National Obedience Championship (formerly known as the National Obedience Invitational) will move from its usual calendar date in December to run in conjunction with the National Agility Championship. A new AKC Rally National Competition will be held on the Friday of that weekend. After 2013, the combined "Extravaganza" will rotate to different locations around the country. "Thanks to the vision of retired Companion Events AVP Curt Curtis and his staff, this new 'Companion Events Extravaganza' will allow us to showcase the best competitors in the country, rotate venues and teach responsible dog ownership to the public through demonstrations, seminars and other companion dog related activities," said Doug Ljungren, Vice President of Companion and Performance Events. The 2012 National Obedience Invitational and National Juniors Obedience Competition will be held as usual in conjunction with the AKC/ Eukanuba National Championship this December in Orlando, Florida. Beginning in December 2013, a new obedience competition - the AKC Obedience Classic - will be held in conjunction with the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship and AKC Agility Invitational in Orlando. The new competition will crown the top dogs for the year in the Novice, Open and Utility classes. The National Juniors Obedience Competition will continue to be held with these events in December. For information about qualifying for these events and additional competition details, stay tuned to http://www.akc.org/events/obedience/ Page 2 WAGGS Deadline: the first Monday of each month From: Current Biology Vol. 22, Issue 3, 7 Feb 2012, P209-212 "DOGS' GAZE FOLLOWING IS TUNED TO HUMAN COMMUNICATIVE SIGNALS" by Ernő Téglás, Anna Gergely, Krisztina Kupán, Ádám Miklósi, József Topál, Dogs were shown a video of an actor standing between two identical objects. When the actor said, “Hi dog,” in a high pitch and made eye contact, the dog was more likely to follow actor's gaze toward an object than when actor said, "Hi dog," in a low pitch and made no eye contact before gazing at an object. Hmm . . . equivalent to our visual/verbal cue before signaling the directed jumping exercise? ODTC Agility Proposal Withdrawn It is with regret that VP, Maggie Eslinger, has withdrawn the ODTC agility proposal. Due to unforeseen health issues, Maggie will be unable to fulfill her commitments to an ODTC agility program moving forward in the near future. We understand that many were excited about the prospect of ODTC holding indoor agility classes, and we hope to consider this project again in the future. Thank you.

Sorry it's taken so long to send this, but things have been hectic with Don's medical problems. I am happy to say he is much, much better. I had a wonderful time seeing everyone and judging the Recall class was a lot of fun. See you again in the future. Minta (Mike) Williquette Anderson SC *********************** Dear Maggie & ODTC Members, I am so glad you asked me to judge! I had absolutely the BEST time! My stewards were awesome (Thank you, Kathy and Paul). . . . The exhibitors were great. . . . And everyone was so helpful!!! The Rally Ring ran as smoothly as it could possibly go! And what's more, we all had a lot of fun! Please pass on my thanks to all the ODTC club members. Sincerely, Jane Mendleson *********************** Dear Maggie & ODTC Members, Thank you for asking me to judge obedience at your trials 4/14 &15/12. Congratulations on two successful trials your entries were very good. My Stewards were all wonderful on Saturday Norma Loepp, Joan Epple & Ruth Hangartner and on Sunday Bill & Donna McCombs and Victoria Orna (Victoria had never stewarded before and she did a very nice job). Please thank them all for me. The dinner at Fishbones was very good. You spoiled us. Once again, thanks for asking me to judge. I had a very nice weekend.

To better understand what to expect should your pet require anesthesia you might want to check out the recommended protocol. It includes recommendations for patient anesthetic plans, client communication, the use Page 3 WAGGS Deadline: the first Monday of each month of pre-anesthesia and pain management drugs, management of anesthesia patients who have significant chronic disease, and recovery management. https://www.aahanet.org/PublicDocuments/ Anesthesia_Guidelines_for_Dogs_and_Cats.pdf In her blog, Veterinarian, Dr. Karen Becker also suggests a visit to an animal chiropractor as part of your pet's recovery plan after any anesthesiarequiring procedure because the moving of your pet's limp body from a gurney to the surgery table and then to the recovery area, and the jerky movements that occur while pets are coming out of anesthesia may stress your pet's skeletal health. http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/ archive/2012/04/18/new-guidelines-foranesthesia-for-cats-and-dogs.aspx ********************** PET CANCER AWARENESS MONTH Fifty percent of dogs aged 10 years or older develop cancer at some point during their lives. To help dog owners better understand the treatment options, cutting-edge research and ways to support canine cancer research, the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF) has launched a public awareness and fundraising campaign to kick off Pet Cancer Awareness Month, May 1-31, 2012. The public awareness and fundraising campaign runs through the month of May and uses social media and online outreach, podcasts and website features to promote not only CHF-funded research, but information on different types of canine cancer, care for dogs with cancer and other cancer-related health resources.

Feedback on our Crate Games Class . . . Hi Sharon & Reggie, I wanted to tell you what a BIG help it has been to me that RAZZ does not bark or object to being in a crate anymore; in fact, sometimes he doesn’t want to come out! I have been able to put him in his crate while I train my other dog and he is content. Every so often I give him a couple really terrific treats for being such a good boy. Also able to crate him when company comes in and there is no barking or fussing. Quite amazing. Thank you both for being such patient and good instructors for the Crate Games class at ODTC. Razz and I both enjoyed it. Jeanne Wightman NEW PET T RICKS CLAS S Teaching tricks is a positive method of training skills and focus - it improves the bond between human and canine. Based on the "Do More With Your Dog" trick training program, handlers will work toward the Novice Trick Dog Title. This will be an on-going class where handlers and dogs can continue to work on their trick skills and earn intermediate and advanced trick titles. Bobbie Kurival and Deb Wood are Associate Trick Dog Instructors, certified by Do More With Your Dog!® the official sanctioning and organizing body for the sport of Dog Tricks ODTC Members, This is a reminder that you need to sign up on the volunteer worker sheet at each event (and sometimes each phase of an event i.e. set up, take down, stewarding are three phases) to make sure your work for the event is recorded.

Jack and I entered our first Novice A class on Sunday, August 3, 2008 under Jerry Iermiero at the Indian River Dog Training Club. We NQ'd. All my fault for entering him too early in his career. So I let another 2 years pass before we entered again. This time under J.B. Stephens at the Sarasota Obedience Training Club. This time we were much better, although we NQ'd again. This handler had to work on our time outside the ring, getting herself and Jack calmed down, before entering again. Our time in Novice competition was improving even more with our run in DOCOF as part of the ODTC team. We "Q'd" with a 192. I took that as an indication that we were getting close to victory. Enter 2012, and we entered and traveled to St. Pete in February to compete again. Under Ken Kincaid, we qualified both days gaining 4th Place on Saturday with a 182.5 and on Sunday, achieving 2nd Place with a 188.5, while having a runoff for 1st. Lesson learned - always be prepared for a run-off! Only ONE more leg remaining for our CD. I wanted it to be at our club! Saturday, April 14, was not our time. We NQ'd again. Really through no fault of Jack’s. For me to be on top of our game, I have to be well rested. Note to self...sleep well the night before a competition. I will feel rested and be more confident and so will Jack. Point taken. So enter Sunday under Michelle Swiat, and Jack did it! We Q'd for our 3rd leg and Companion Dog title with 2nd Place and a respectable 187.5 score! It took 3 years and 8 months to do it! Now on to Graduate Novice! Sincerely, Brenda J.
