USDAA@Home! Continues to Benefit Competitors

We appreciate the feedback we receive on WCRL and USDAA programs and wanted to share a note from Gina Lutz in Annville, Pennsylvania, about the USDAA@Home!^SM program benefits.

TO: Ken, Andy and the rest of the staff,

As the system gets updated, it will show Ruger having earned his Platinum Lifetime Achievement award. I cannot thank you all for bringing the @Home programs alive. As COVID hit in 2020, Ruger was really struggling. Couldn’t weave in public and his ability to scope was bad as well. The @Home program allowed us to work on our skills and, most importantly, his confidence. 

As we came out of COVID, I was in a car accident, and an already suspect bad back became even worse. I was forced to have 4 vertebrae fused between L3-S-1. I could not think about doing a regular live show for a while until I could build my leg strength up with extensive PT. 

I was able to keep my dogs active through @Home. Ruger has now earned titanium titles and even his PACH in AKC as well. An achievement that would never have been possible without the @Home program. I for one believe it brings great value in training. There are courses I can do that focus on certain “holes” in my training. Yes, the Qs towards titles are a plus, but it really allows me and my dogs to spread our wings in agility. So once again, thank you so much for keeping this program going.
