Dog-and-handler teams from Nevada, California, and Oregon gathered in Fallon June 5-6 as the Ready 2 Run Dog Agility Club celebrated its 25th anniversary with a two-day competition at Rafter 3C Arena.
The club, which is based in Reno, held the competition in Fallon for the third consecutive year. The Ready 2 Run Dog Agility Club is affiliated with the North American Dog Agility Council.
NADAC agility trials demonstrate the ability of a dog and handler to work as a smoothly functioning team. The courses are traditionally fun and fast because of the flow and distance between obstacles. The goal is to maintain an environment that tests dog-and-handler teams with appropriate challenges while combining speed, accuracy, distance, and teamwork.
Tony and Terry Kopas were instrumental in bringing the competition to Fallon. Terry Kopas said she and her husband requested that the event be held in Fallon.
"Jesse Segura, Rafter 3C operations deputy, made it happen for us," she said.
Kopas said holding the competition indoors is cooler and healthier for the dogs.
The competition is one of many events hosted at Rafter 3C, a popular venue for equestrian, livestock, and community events in Fallon.
