Bella and Charlie
Our journey with Sit, Stay ‘N Play began 10 years ago with my Cavalier, Bella. Bella was a very hyperactive little dog who needed a job. She had breezed through training elsewhere, and that’s when I discovered this new training facility. Bella started in Rally and did well, but she wasn’t fully engaged and disliked repeating tasks. Around that time, a beginner Nosework class started, and little did I know, we were about to embark on the journey of a lifetime! Bella loved Nosework, and over the next nine years, she trained, trialed, and sniffed her way to 47 competitive Nosework titles. She retired from competition last September at 14 years old as an “Elite” Nosework dog and holds the record for the most Nosework titles of any Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in the entire U.S. My beautiful girl crossed the rainbow bridge in January after a long life filled with endless memories and accomplishments.
When Bella began Nosework, a little ruby rescue joined our family—Charlie. He came to me with issues like lack of confidence and fear of other dogs and most people due to his prior home. I decided to start him in agility as a way for us to bond. He enjoyed agility, but I had to work hard to build his confidence. The trainers were amazing in helping with this. While Charlie wasn’t a highly successful agility dog, our incredible trainer, Dane, created the “Charlie Checklist” of skills. Little did I know, it wasn’t just Charlie who needed to build confidence. Dane worked with me separately because I also lacked confidence. For a long time, I wasn’t allowed to run with Charlie in class until I gained confidence by running one of the “Bragg beagles.” With our newfound confidence, Charlie and I became a team!
Outside of training, Charlie is now an incredibly confident little dog. He adores people he was once afraid of and interacts with other dogs in ways I never imagined. I call him “the mayor.” As Charlie has gotten older, he struggles with agility equipment, so I decided in May that he would retire from competitive agility at 13 years old. He earned his Teacup Intermediate Standard and Teacup Games 3 titles, as well as his Teacup Retired Agility Dog (TRAD) title.
Charlie, now 13, has been training and trialing in Nosework. We train with both Lisa and Kathy, and he loves the sport. He has earned his NACSW NW1 and UKC Novice overall titles. His tail never stops wagging, and his Nosework harness proudly bears his nickname, “Turbo Tail.”
I have nothing but love for our journey with SSNP!
