There was a coffee truck that served espresso drinks all day
long! My dog loved it! Hope to come every week. Five stars.

We had to drive quite far from the freeway to a large covered
arena in an agricultural locale, various cows and horses were
located nearby. The dirt was soft in some places and hard in
some places, prefer my dirt a bit more juicy. Meh. It would
seem with all the tractors in such a homespun environment
one could be driven over the dirt to make it more fluffy? Many
people there were older adults. It is my belief that even if one
is old, they should be helping out in the rings. I had to keep
going in and setting bars and have you ever set bars with a
bunch of old people out there? The ring steward would yell out
"Sixteen inches!" and nobody could hear him and they would
just shamble around out there like a bunch of zombies and set
things at the wrong height and then look up and be all, "What?"
and someone would yell, " Sixteen inches!" again and this just
kept happening over and over and it took way too long to set
the bars. It was brought to my attention that the payment was
in raffle tickets to win prizes such as bully sticks, however, so
that may explain the slow pace. Two stars.

It's official, I will never go to this dog agility again. A lot of
people there were young and sporty, I think this is called hipsters? Since when are hipsters allowed at agility trials? Many
of the females were wearing tights or yoga style trousers, hate
seeing their long lanky legs running around so fast. Snack table
served snacks from Costco containing hydrogenated oils and
high fructose corn syrup, even in the so called "healthy snacks"
which were dry and unappetizing. I did notice that the ribbons
were colorful, with bountiful, flowing streamers, especially the
ones used for champion titles when the person getting one
ran around on a long lap after their run with their dog, waving a jump bar over their head. Unfortunately, this took quite a
long time and held up the trial. It's a pity, weather was great and
grass was stunning. Won't return.

This place is a joke. Gritty locals were lurking nearby at the
trial, they may be pleasant people but seemed off putting with
all their eyes watching us. Judge did nothing to chase them off.
Did not get any Qs as my dog was scared of judge and the so
called spectators. Not a good value, as each run cost $13 and
we spent $78 and did not receive a ribbon.

Pros: The judge is one of the best judges around. He wore festive cool outfits and helped build courses.
Cons: I did not Q in Jumpers, did not like how he set numbers
2-17 on the course.

Not great, only tried this place because it was in my neighborhood, so close by. Hated the lady judging. Wore the ugliest
sweater without irony. Will not trial under her again. Unless
she's judging nearby. Challenging course, way too open with
backsides that were difficult, there were little flowers mixed in
with the grass and very distracting. I have been to a lot of dog
agility previously and did find the score table staff to be more
helpful here than at some of the other places, (shout out to you,
Karey and Raymond!) so three stars.

Found it not flavorful. My dog is distracted by the trees nearby, I
believe there to be squirrels residing in them. Would try it again
if squirrels could be removed. Feels unprofessional, as if staffed
by a team of all volunteers who only work on weekends. Service quite slow.
