Agility

  Bend Agility Action Dogs Bend Agility Action Dogs or "BAAD" is a non-profit club recently formed to promote the sport of dog agility in the Central Oregon area. Agility is a fast paced, fun sport, for both dog and owner. Emphasis is placed on positive rewards while dogs are learning obstacles and commands. Dogs become more confident in their abilities and more willing to learn new commands. BAAD welcomes all dogs and handlers. Your dog doesn't need a fancy pedigree.

Book Review: "Cesar's Way" by Cesar Millan by Pat Miller for The Bark

"Almost every dog-training book has something to offer the discerning reader, and Cesar's Way is no exception. The book's strength is as an autobiography of National Geographic's TV dog-trainer star, Cesar Millan. If you're curious about how Millan got where he is today, this book will tell you. If you're looking for significant help training your dog, however, look elsewhere..."
