Visit to Penang

PAAPP Trials

The Pet-n-U team went to Penang on June 8-10 to participate in a series of agility trials which were organized by a canine agility organization up in Penang, known as Penang Dog Agility Association (PAAPP). As it was over the weekend, our mates left for Penang on Friday to spend two nights in Penang while we were only able to join them on Saturday due to leave limitation.

As we arrived in Penang, both Axle & Cami got very excited to know that they will be sharing apartment unit with their training buddies, Russell & Archer. Although Axle was previously cool with Archer, given the different environment, it was a whole new ball game and he tried to get at them both, barking continuously. We had no choice but to keep Axle in the room and took turns to run in the living room.

The trials went smoothly and I am proud to say that the team manage to sweep all 3 spots in the mini class while Angel dominated the maxi class. Cami took home 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place titles respectively for the elementary, jumpers, and gambler trials. However, no clean run for her as she refused to jump through the tire, that little stinker! But I must admit that the tire looks somewhat different...Our mates, Archer and Russell did get one clean run each, adding to their previous clean run profile, nice.



Elementary & Jumpers Result


Anyhow, it was a great day and everyone from the team deservingly won something so it was fairly encouraging. At the end of the day and we had to re-organize the trunk to fit all the dog food and treats we won. Axle was a happy camper to see all the goodies and quickly proclaimed his half of the portion.

Axle: Mine mine mine!


Cami: Do I need to share?
