Silver City Canine Training Center lost a dear friend, instructor and mentor this week. Brenda Dean passed away on Sunday afternoon following a short, but very difficult struggle with cancer. Brenda will be remembered by everyone as a knowledgeable dog person, a kind, compassionate and very funny Agility and Breed Handling teacher. There will be a Service to celebrate her life on April 18 at 11:00 here at Silver City. More information will be available shortly. |

The judge tells the handler to begin, and the dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of designated stations (10 - 20, depending on the level). Each of these stations has a sign providing instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. |
