clinton...now that it is over, can you or Mr. Boudreau tell us what exactly were the scenarios in the tournament?

....I personally do not know anyone who is going to drive to a tournament where they have no clue what type of scenarios are going to be implemented....

Very successful and fun event y'all missed. Better luck to make it next year!

Many who wish to accept challenges and have fun care to compete at various events that do not disclose the scenarios. There are a host of these events around the nation; each one has their own unique twist. These trials create a true test that one cannot pattern train for. In addition it is this very concept as to how law enforcement, military and other agencies train, practice and/or test. Create a scenario consisting of realistic components that induce conditioned response, strategic deliberation and appropriate execution.

Our twist was the fact that the handlers were given a task within each scenario. Their ability to utilize their dog to resolve a situation and complete the task is where they were scored. Tasks varied from helping a victim to escorting a hostile person off the field or even retrieving their "new, high dollar iPhone" with both business and personal contact information on it.

All scenarios were examples of actual crimes that have in fact been attempted in REAL LIFE. Our feedback was as expected. For our first trial as a new club we had trouble moving it along smoothly. Still not bad from 11:00 to about 5:00 with everything created from scratch and fresh, new volunteers never seeing a dog protection tournament before. Other than that we inspired some back into the game, had a great deal of fun and the competitors truly made it awesome!

Forgive me but I'll have descriptions of the scenarios up by the end of the week. Off to bed now, early to rise with training and more training. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks, Jerry. That would be great. The last couple of years have been tough with a job change and divorce. I'm still sorting out a few things and then I'd like to get me a Mal or Dutchie that takes no shit from nobody and then sic him on your ass. \\:D/ Just kidding, Jerry. Thanks again. If you ever make it down to Orlando look me up. The beer and wings are on me!
