Izzy High in Trial MR1

September 11, 2017 by webmaster Leave a Comment

Izzy and I repeated our MR1 in Colorado at the Black Diamond “Life’s a Circus” Mondioring trial on 10th September 2017, earning a 189 and High in Trial.
She lost a few points here and there – two commands on the send away; two whistles on the recall after the defence, but I was very pleased with her attitude and confidence.

Thanks to decoys David Broderick and Kevin Bain, Judge Don Lee, Ann Malberg for your calm, clear presence as deputy judge, and the Black Diamond WDA for a fun weekend.

Zappa earns Mondio Brevet

July 10, 2017 by webmaster Leave a Comment

Zappa du Loups du Soleil IPO3 CDX put on an excellent performance in Ohio earning his Mondioring Brevet with a 97/100 under judge Ann Putegnat with Todd Dunlap as decoy. We only had a couple of days to teach him a Defence of Handler, but he nailed it! Of course, he did an out and guard on the attack, and an out and “hier-fuss!” on the guard after the defence – his Schutzhund was showing, lol.

Izzy MR1

July 10, 2017 by webmaster Leave a Comment

Izzy earned her MR1 title this weekend at Heartland Working Dog Club in Ohio under judge Ann Putegnat and decoys Todd Dunlap and Chad Byerly. She gave an nice performance on Saturday, earning a 194/200 and her first leg.

The second day we earned a slim 160 out of 200, but it was a qualifying score and we got our title! We missed our Defence of Handler, which was a very fun Fourth of July parade (and she did a bark and hold instead of a whistle back on the flee, wtf? and I made some handler errors) but a very fun trial with some wonderful people!

My good boy made me proud again.

Thanks to my people. Heartland Working Dog Club for all of the support and help you’ve given us. Gail Warling Marit who is my biggest cheerleader. Gary Marit who puts up with me invading his home more often than he cares to admit. And to Todd Dunlap for always being there to tell me what I’m doing wrong and lead me in the right direction. I still think you’re a loser, but I also kinda you at the same time.
And thanks Chris, for supporting this crazy obsession of mine.

Qool MR3 & Groovy MR1 (again!)

July 9, 2017 by webmaster Leave a Comment

A great Mondioring weekend for Groovy and Qool. Groovy competed at level 1 for her 7th time with yet another Qualifying score of 199/200. Qool titled at level 3 (the highest level) with a very respectable 346. 300 is passing. Qool and I will continue to compete at level 3 until he retires (hopefully another 6 years . Thank you so much to Todd Dunlap who has worked with us from the beginning as our decoy, coach, trainer, mentor and Friend. His dedication to Mondioring and every dog and handler team he coaches is truly inspirational. Todd’s knowledge and willingness to share that knowledge is unmatched. His sense of fairness and constant search for a better way is a source of excitement and personal growth for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you Todd Dunlap. Thank you Judge Ann Putegnat for a challenging trial and Chad Byerly and Todd Dunlap for great decoy work.

Habbit MR3

October 30, 2016 by elissacline Leave a Comment

 Habbit du Loups du Soleil - MR 3 with Todd Dunlap his trainer and Jos Helsen from Belgium - the judge ... Ironically Jos also judged Habbit back in July 2914 in Humboldt Co., CA and awarded him his first leg of his MR1!


Habbit du Loups du Soleil – MR 3 with Todd Dunlap his trainer and Jos Helsen from Belgium – the judge … Ironically Jos also judged Habbit back in July 2014 in Humboldt Co., CA and awarded him his first leg of his MR1!

Well Habbit finally gave me my belated b-day present of an MR3 with a score of 321. Moving to Ohio was a leap of faith.

It has been an honor to be a member of my new family and club – Heartland Working Dog Club and work with Middletown Ringsport Club to prepare for this adventure. It shows that it takes a village to create a Level 3 Habbit.

Thanks to Todd Dunlap for making me think that a stopped attack was as probable as an accurate weather forecast in Ohio. To Jake Brandyberry for bringing the confidence back to Habbit’s escort after such a long hiatus and to (of course) Joseph Cinnante for making me believe that Habbit can be more than he was and to encourage me to work for better perfection. And to not forget Redwood Bite Club for providing the lucky pink camo socks that allowed this magic to happen.

Crazy Rabbit!

Well I can’t believe I’m writing this, Idole and I are World Vice Champions! I have to start by thanking Todd Dunlap, for his friendship, guidance, mentoring, dedication to us and countless hours in the suit! I am beyond thankful that I have been able to learn from such an incredible trainer, decoy and person! I would not be here without him. Thank you Todd!
Todd, David & Idole

David, Idole & Todd

To Tiffany for the countless hours I spend outside training, the amount of time I am away traveling and training, you are always willing to help me train her, along with all of your support! Thank you babe!

Thank you mommy for getting me addicted to dogs and driving me 3 hours each week to dog training classes when I was 12 years old. It is because of your love and support that I got into dog training. Also to my family for your love and support over the years!

To Sean, your commitment to us is beyond what I can explain. Anything I ever need you are already there to offer your help! Handling my dogs, taking time away from your family to help with this crazy sport, late night and long days preparing for trials, I honestly can’t thank you enough!

LauraAnn! You always go above and beyond for us. Even in a sport you don’t compete in. You are still there for us! You always want the best for us and I appreciate you so much for always being there for us!

Michael Ellis, Chad Hunter, Tommy Verschueren, John E. Lugo, Fernando Dosta, Zack Kiser, Joshua McCleary, Scott Warner, Spencer Bowman, for working with Idole and letting her bite you, for teaching her different moves, techniques, training her, and building her up! Thank you!

There are so many more involved in making this happen! The decoys that have gotten in the suit for her! My club back home, Utah Protection Sports! Thank you guys! #utahprotectionsports Our friends running horns, setting up scenarios, giving advice, being distractions!

Huge thank you to Philip/Bettina and Jos/Marleen for welcoming us to train at your fields here in Belgium and being the most incredible hosts. Also for the endless knowledge you share with us!

Michael Ellis! Thank you for this girl! She is everything I wanted and more! She never stops trying! #loupsdusoleil

Repo 5th at the Worlds!

October 2, 2016 by ShawnReed Leave a Comment

What a great weekend! Like always Repo gave it his all! We scored very nicely at world’s placing 5th out of 50. We lost the search portion on the escorting, some in OB and 10 for slow outing (dog likes to bite ?). We’ll be back next year to try and improve on this years performance. I love Repo! What a fun dog to work and very entertaining for the spectators.

Thank you to my parents(Eileen Hickey Reed), Todd Dunlap and West Penn Ring Club! And everyone else who had helped us! It takes a village!

– Shawn
