2013 Title Certificates: Submit Your Titles Earned for the Year by January 2nd

2013 Title Certificates

If you would like to recognize your dog’s accomplishments for the year at the annual meeting, please submit your new titles via the website by January 2, 2014. Time is required to export the data and create the certificates, so last minute entries cannot be accepted. Hopefully you have been entering your titles as they were earned to share your accomplishments with the club!

All titles must be submitted via the online form provided on the CATS website: Submit Your Agility Titles. Please take care to enter your information accurately and to check that all of the fields of the form are accurate. No title information can be accepted by email for title certificates.

If you are not sure if you have submitted a title, you can check the website by going to the View Titles page. Look to the right column of the page for ways to filter the titles displayed either by venue, dog name or handler name.

Get your titles in and get ready to cheer at the annual meeting on January 12th!

Coached Run Thru – Wednesday October 23 at 5:30

Cindy and Donna have graciously agreed to facilitate another fun night for CATS members to come out and play.

The theme of the night is “pairs.” Cindy and Donna will set a pairs course. Cindy will set up one half of the course in USDAA/CPE style and Donna will set up half in NADAC style. To run pairs, your dog must be safe to be off leash running in the ring with another dog. If your dog is not appropriate for pairs, you will be able to run the course solo. Something for everyone and every dog! A cancellation notice will be sent to the CATS Yahoo group by 2:00 on Wednesday if the weather is a problem.

Cindy will be bringing hot chocolate and tea for us. Feel free to bring a snack or cookies to share with the group.
