When it’s hot, it’s hot.  But that doesn’t stop dogs from having a great time!  Two weeks ago, Ohio Air Dogs held their summertime Member Appreciation Day!  The day was filled with Frisbee, rally, agility and lots of bowls of water!  Despite the incredible heat that day, the dogs did an amazing job at all of the events!  Here are some highlights!  To view the entire gallery and purchase prints of your dog, visit my website and choose “Clients” from the menu bar.  The online gallery will be available for the next 30 days.  Enjoy!

I am always amazed watching the advanced level Agility 2 dogs train.  Ohio Air Dogs, in North Royalton Ohio, have some real movers and shakers too!  Last week, I photographed the week 6 current class, on 4/4/12.  If you would like to view all the photos taken during this class and make print purchases, you can do so on my website by clicking the menu link for “Clients” then choose the Agility 2 class on 4/4/12.

Meet Tonka!

This brown eyed Labrador mix is a force to be reckoned with!  He flies high and makes his way through the tunnel like a gopher!  He aims to please and it shows!

I caught up with a couple of the dogs that were training in Agility, this past Monday, at Ohio Air Dogs.  You’ve met Lydia before, she’s the Border Collie that I photographed training in Rally also!  But I am also going to introduce you to Josie, the Vizsla.  She’s just starting out her journey as an Agility dog.  But she’s doing an amazing job and will try anything!

The below photos and more, from both Agility Level 1 and 2, week 6 on 3/26/12 are available for purchase on my website.  Click “Clients.”  As you enjoy the images and stories on my blog, be sure to leave your comments!  Thank you!  I appreciate hearing from you!

Meet Josie!  She’s completing Agility Level 1.  She was so good!  She wanted to try all the obstacles!  Her owners, Russ and Cheri, were trying everything to keep her on track, even cheese!  But you know what did it for her?  She’d do an obstacle, then would run over to give ME a big wet kiss!!!  Her parents call her “the lover.”  It was so cute!  OK, so cheese worked too, but I liked it when I did “distract” her!  Can’t get enough of doggy kisses!

Here’s Lydia.  She’s so graceful!  As much as I wanted to photograph her, I found myself just wanting to watch!  She’s a bird on that course, just flying!
