Prior to flexing our muscles at the PAAPP Flyball, Agility and OB trials in Sungai Dua, we popped by Batu Ferringhi beach the day before for a quick dip and also to take in the sunset. Check out the beach babes and hunks seen parading on the beach that weekend.

Well done guys and girls!
We had a good time except that the organisers should have exercised better judgment by leaving the design of the agility course to the appointed judge. As it is, the course was set by the organisers themselves, resulting in an unorthodox layout which left competitors wondering if they were running a Gamblers or Snookers course instead of Standard Agility.
Here's to more of challenging yet fun agility courses ...WISH YOU WERE HERE, BANK ...
The Dog Squad lost a treasured and close friend, Bank the Golden Retriever who passed away at the tender age of 3. Our deepest condolences go out to our fellow trainer, Chan and his family, on the loss of their able dog.

NOW YOUR DOG CAN BE TITLED!
The Neighbourhood GangNow your dogs can earn titles through trials and these titles can then be added to the dog's name in recognition of its ability and achievements on the field. Titles are a means by which owners can measure their dog's performance, a goal to look forward to and strive to achieve.
Such awards also promote the pursuit of excellence in training and dog sports. Having a titled dog is certainly just reward for any owner who has put in quality time and effort to bond with their dogs.
With effect from 2008, PetnYou will be awarding individual Agility Titles and Obedience Titles that a dog can attain through participation at the PetnYou Trials.
AGILITY TITLES
1. Malaysian Agility Dog (‘M.A.D.')
2. Malaysian Agility Dog Excellent (‘M.A.X.')
OBEDIENCE TITLES
1. Malaysian Companion Dog (M.C.D.)
2. Malaysian Companion Dog Excellent (M.C.D.X.)
