Premium is Available for Jan 4-5 “New Year 2025” trial

Posted on December 3, 2024 by JLGauntt

The premium is now posted for our ‘Bringing in the New Year’ trial at the Oriole Dog Training Club in Halethorpe, MD. This trial as usual is all about the team tournament. This year we are offering a Two Dog Team format; look for our cool prizes as usual including the “Rookie Team” prize. Other class offerings include a Grand Prix and several titling classes.

Our judge is Sarah Crane.

Entry fees for the titling classes are the typical low cost of $15 per titling class. “But wait, “, those of you with a dog still early in their skills journey say, “the only titling classes are for Masters!”. Please note – dogs of any level may enter ANY class at this trial, including those Masters titling classes. Per USDAA policy, if you are not yet showing in Masters and you ‘Q’, that ‘Q’ will be ‘banked’ for you.

Something new for trials at this location: Oriole DTC now allows a limited number of RVs to stay overnight on the grounds, by pre-arrangement only.

As usual, this trial provides a nice warm way (climate controlled on artficial turf!) to get those tournament Q’s needed for Cynosport (aka the USDAA Nationals) which is back in Murfreesboro, TN this year.
