Cowtown Dog Sports is proud to announce that we have been approved as a facility for\u00a0VALOR<\/a>\u00a0trials!<\/p>\n

VALOR<\/a>, the Virtual Agility League, and is designed to acknowledge the accomplishments of fearful, reactive, and highly distracted dogs. \u00a0 It can also serve as a starting point for dogs that may enter more traditional trial environments (i.e. as a Show and Go) and handlers that are nervous about running in public venues. It is much more economical than traditional trials since only ‘Q’ runs are submitted to be judged. \u00a0The emphasis of VALOR is on the skills that have been achieved by the team rather than speed and competition. \u00a0There are no placements or “labels” placed on any of the dogs. \u00a0The goal is to provide a safe environment so that teams may show off their agility skills and receive recognition for what they have accomplished.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0050\"<\/a>All breeds of dogs are welcome as are dogs that may have disabilities such as deafness. \u00a0Dogs that are\u00a0already be trialing in more traditional venues are also welcome although all participants\u00a0must follow VALOR rules. \u00a0There is nothing that precludes a dog that participates\u00a0in VALOR from competing in any other venue.<\/p>\n

VALOR runs are video taped and the team can practice a course and only submit the video tape if they believe the run is a Q. \u00a0Dogs can earn titles in 4 different events – Standard, Jumpers, Perfect 50 (a Gamblers like game), and Snooker! \u00a0There are 3 different levels – Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert and there’s even a Championship title offered\u00a0– VALOR-DICTORIAN! \u00a0 Just like any other venue, the teams\u00a0receive ribbons, certificates, titles, medals and more for their accomplishments.<\/p>\n

VALOR courses are challenging. \u00a0Course setups are nested so that all different levels of one event are available at one time. \u00a0A dog that has Open\/Advanced level titles can start at the Expert level and a dog that has Novice\/Starters level titles can start at the Intermediate level. \u00a0Course set ups are reviewed using markers in the arena and all runs begin with the table so that the start of the run is clear on the video tape.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0033\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are excited to be a part of VALOR. \u00a0Stay tuned for more information on upcoming VALOR Day events!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
