ABTCA vice president, Leslie Gelesh, and her miniature poodle, Eli, have won the 2021 AKC Virtual Trick Dog Competition with their entry Batman FURever.
This is the second year the team has participated in the virtual competition. Last year they were recognized for their “outstanding performance.”
To be eligible for the competition a dog must have achieved an elite performer title with the AKC. Teams from across the US and Canada submitted videos that included as story, music props and most importantly TRICKS!
ELI’s video Batman FURever, showcased 31 tricks and a cameo appearance from little brother, Chip , in just under 6 minutes. The tricks are interwoven with music and narration. Routines are judged on creativity, difficulty of tricks, flow between tricks, handling skills and entertainment value.
View Eli’s video here.
Bailey works as a "therapy/experience stimulation" dog with Jeaneatte Palsa's husband. He doesn't have Therapy Dog certification (he has his own issues) but has been doing this work for the past year. Many of the clients are very mature individuals that don't have a lot of outside contact so they are so excited when Bailey comes. Bailey is so gentle and loves them all.
Bailey is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix (pit bull) to most people. We have taken obedience I, II, and III (3 times!!!) and agility for the past couple of years
