City Dog Pack's Last Agility Class of the Season


On Sunday we had our last dog agility class for the season. We started our free agility class so that the dogs and dog owners of the City Dog Pack community can meet each other and enjoy a great activity on Sunday mornings. We also wanted to give back to all the amazing dogs who make it possible for City Dog Pack to exist. According to the feedback we received the class was a huge hit and we cannot wait for next spring to begin the classes again.

In the several classes we had, we saw some dogs make dramatic improvements in dog agility. Most dogs were afraid to get near the equipment during their first class, however those same dogs gained the confidence and skill to run through the obstacles on their own. Next season our agility class will be even better with new obstacles and better equipment.

Sunday's class was kind of bitter sweet. While we had a great time, we knew it was going to be the last class of the season and we would have to wait for next spring to see some of the dog participants again. Either way it was a great class and the dogs put on a show in Saint Catherine's Park!

Our youngest pack member, Alden

Hello City dog pack community.  I will like you all to meet Alden.  Alden is a pit bull boxer mix and at about 4 and a half months he is the youngest member of City Dog Pack.  We have been walking him for a little over a month now and we must admit, it has been a challenge. Not because he is a crazy puppy, but because he is so darn cute he attracts so much attention which makes it difficult for us to walk an NYC block without someone stopping us to pet him.  Alden has a very happy go lucky and curious attitude.  He loves to walk around and socialize with any person or dog who wants to say hi.  He also loves to visit the dog park and wrestle with his City Dog Pack walking buddies.  We are exited to see him  mature into an awesome dog and we will love for him to be City Dog Pack's pit bull ambassador!

Check out this video of Alden battling the leaves of autumn.  So funny!
