About Us
Traditionally dog clubs have held conformation dog shows to show off and compete with their breeding programs, to promote the purebred dog, and to further what these dogs were typically bred for. While the all-breed conformation shows are rich in tradition, formality, and purpose, many people feel that the world of dog sports also has great appeal as they seek to be more active with their dogs. Dog sports encompasses such events and activities as agility, disc dog, dock diving, canine freestyle and flyball. Additionally, many people find themselves with a companion dog of questionable heritage (i.e. your all american mixed breed) with the energy to accomplish great things. Dog sports allow dogs of all types to compete whether purebred or mixed breed.
This website was created to help advance dog sports in our area.

About Our Club
First Dog Sports was created to promote dog sports in the White Mountains. Its members are active primarily in agility training and competition, competing in DOCNA, USDAA, and AKC. Additionally we have pursued information and experience in other dog sports such as herding, flyball, disc dog, canine freestyle, and dock diving. We enjoy being with other people who like to be athletic with their dogs. First Dog Sports will be home to many trials and dog sports events in the future. Currently we host two DOCNA agility trials a year, in May and September and are in the process of adding a third June agility trial. We are also a USDAA club affiliate and have just received approval for our planned USDAA events.

Our Training Philosophy
One of the things we have discovered through our own training and teaching experiences is the importance of proper teaching. Getting a good foundation is critical to positive successes and in creating a partnership your dog.
We offer and highly recommend starting off on the right foot with our Beginning Foundations class taught by several time Agility MACH titlest and Canine Freestyle competitor, Karen Lewis. Karen is also experienced in Control Unleashed dog training. We believe this class should preceed any other classes. Class information available now.
As we look forward to Spring/Summer 2010, FiDo Sports has agility seminars, flyball training sessions, USDAA agility events, DOCNA agility trials, and many other events and classes planned!
Our Junior Handler class is over for the summer... What a great group of kids and dogs we had! Look for our next USDAA Junior Handler Trial Saturday, September 11th.
We are so excited to be able to present an ambitious spring/summer calendar so please keep checking our calendar page.

Our Dogs In The Spotlight
Jet, a mix breed dog of unknown origin, waits to go into the agility ring with his owner, junior handler Hayden Zongker. Hayden and Jet were in Amy's Junior Handler class and their efforts were rewarded as they progressed from the On Leash Beginner Level to the Off Leash Elementary Level at FiDo's USDAA Junior Handler Trial. Hayden and Jet are a young team with a lot of potential!
