Welcome to CCSC Dog Talk

The blog of the Columbia Canine Sports Center

Who are we?
CCSC is an innovative dog training facility owned by 3 women who have a passion for dogs and dog showing, staffed by committed instructors dedicated to positive and humane dog training. We make up a really diverse group and have trained and shown dogs to high levels in conformation, obedience, agility, Rally obedience, tracking, lure coursing, earthdog, and more.

About the facility
CCSC consists of two buildings. The main building, which we call Building 1, really has to be seen to be believed. It's huge. 28,800 square feet of clearspan space. Because it's a coverall fabric building, it is light and airy inside. The dimensions are 120' wide by 240' long. Big enough for a 2-ring agility trial and room to spare; our regular setup includes one full-sized and one supplementary agility ring and four smaller rings for obedience, Rally, and conformation. Building 1 is heated and air conditioning is coming soon. The flooring is very dog friendly—3/4" recycled rubber on top of 6 feet of crushed lime. Building 2 is our small building. It has restrooms, a dogwash area, two offices and a break room along with a meeting room. One of the offices hosts a weekly visit from Dr. Sherri Russell, DVM and board certified in acupuncture. Both buildings are available for rent for dog and non-dog activities!

What will we be blogging?
We'll be blogging whatever strikes our fancy. It'll be dog related and/or CCSC related. All three owners and one of the instructors will be blogging. Enjoy!
