Welcome!
I'm excited to offer an opportunity to share my passion of supporting dog sport competitors, trainers, and enthusiasts in working with their dogs at home or in other small space environments. I envision this community to be a positive and supportive space for people in which people can learn, chat, and have fun! I hope to present opportunities and information for training dog agility, disc, rally, parkour, nose work, and more, and offer the chance to make real improvements in your training and competition performance while working with your dog at home. I'd also like to support and explore offering more video competitions like one I hosted this summer, which was a lot of fun. Please introduce yourself and share pictures of your dog(s). I would love to know what sports you participate in, where you live, and anything else you want to share! If you want to read my bio and learn more about who I am in terms of dog training, please visit my instructor page in the Clean Run Learning Center. You can also visit my website, www.brennafender.com, and check out my first book, Ready to Run, Vol. 1, Agility Skills and Drills for Small Spaces. I've got some big, fun things ahead and I'm hoping to share them with a community of dog sport enthusiasts who want to be kind to each other and talk dog sports! (Please read the rules before posting!) More to come! --Brenna PS-Want to start your own Skool community? You can use my link (please and thank you)!

May BINGO Challenge Information Thread
The May Bingo Challenge starts today and will run through May 31, 2026. Check out the attached BINGO card and get started! Choose 5 spaces across, down, or diagonally, and complete each of the behaviors indicated with your canine companion. The described behaviors are meant for the dog, not the human, unless the handler is specifically mentioned :) When you've "crossed off" your 5 spaces (or 4 if you work in the "free" spot), submit to the designated thread videos or photos (as needed based on what the task is) showing your completed behaviors. You may also submit the behaviors as you go along and let me know when you've got BINGO. Include your dog's name and the behavior demonstrated in the video. You may choose to submit a copy of the Bingo card with spaces crossed off, but that is not required. Be sure to call BINGO when you finish it! I'll keep a list of those who complete Bingo, and I'll have a cute downloadable image for you to post on social media for each of you. Too easy? Go for BLACKOUT BINGO and complete EVERY SPACE! I'll have a special image for you to share if you BLACKOUT! One dog/handler team per Bingo card. You are welcome to play with more than one dog. Any questions? Post them in the comments. **HERE IS THE LINK TO THE MAY BINGO CHALLENGE SUBMISSION THREAD: https://www.skool.com/backyard-dog-training-matters-2491/may-bingo-challenge-submission-thread?p=d2ea303e

May Challenge & Other News
How was your weekend? BRAG HERE! :)
Did you do anything doggy this weekend? I didn't do anything official; on Saturday, I just worked on socializing my puppy by having some family drop by and watch him pretend to be a show dog :) On Sunday, I took the show on the road by taking him to my parents' house to check out their pool. I brought my Whippet, who used to do a lot of dock diving, and he did a bunch of jumping in. My Chihuahua, who is suffering from liver failure, wanted to come too, so he did as well. You can see a silly video I made from our visit at the link below. Tell us what you did this weekend! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RBh4o-J1IFA
