Spring Programs Demonstrate Excellence

Several clubs and programs at Bonita have experienced success in their Spring competitions.

D Street State Champions

DSTreet2016

On April 30th at Knott’s Berry Farm D Street Dance Team placed first in senior hip hop and became Division Champions (over 5 teams) with a record of 92/100 points. Further on in the competition D Street won both Grand Championship (over 17 teams) and became the STATE CHAMPS! It was a hard earned win. Not only have they practiced for months but they got called on too soon which can throw performers off, then the music cut out during the last 30 seconds  which can REALLY throw performers off!  But instead they went for it, started singing the lyrics (the team members that weren’t performing really helped with this too) and they stayed together for the win.

Great Success in the Dog Therapy Training Program

thumb_IMG_1661_1024%202-2
All day Saturday the 23rd the dogs, student trainers and owners of the therapy dogs were put to the test. They were each evaluated by a team from Pet Partners, a national organization that certifies dogs for therapy work. The test is pretty tough putting the dog and handler into all the possible scenarios they would experience as working therapy dogs like exposing them to chaotic crowds, many people putting hands on at once, loud noises, rough petting as well as all details of obedience. We had 12 teams test and 11 of the 12 got the highest certification that exists with one dog being hesitant to lay down so he will retest in a few weeks.
Our fully certified teams:
  • “Moose” (chocolate labradoodle) and Bob Turner (owner)
  • “Bennett” (australian labradoodle) and Morgan S.(student)
  • “Bennett” (australian labradoodle) and Jeff V. (owner)
  • “Odie” (boxer) and Katelyn S. (student)
  • “Odie” (boxer) and Chelsea Bowerman (owner)
  • “Dublin” (tibetan terrier) and Adam Archibald (owner)
  • “Shade” (chocolate lab) and Larry Thompson (owner)
  • “Annabelle” (coonhound) and Frank Sapienza (owner)
  • “Annabelle” (coonhound) and Stephanie F. (student)
  • “Kobe” (black lab) and Kobe P. (student)
  • “Kobe” (black lab) and Maricar Berry (owner)
