One standout agility dog was once labeled “too wild to evaluate” by veterinarians, but thanks to the dedication of Sue Vold from Leavenworth, Kansas, that dog is now a titled competitor.

Wushu MX MXJ MJB, a 4-year-old All-American Dog, had behavioral issues and showed signs of abuse. With Vold’s hard work and a strong bond, they entered agility events together. They are now set to compete at the 2023 AKC National Agility Championship from March 16 to March 19 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Unexpected Beginnings

Vold’s journey into agility started when her family adopted a rescued dog and her daughter showed interest in agility. Vold continued the pursuit after her daughter left for college and eventually found Wushu, a dog that resembled their previous pet Yaso. Despite initial challenges, Vold saw potential in Wushu.

Wushu’s vet reports labeled him as “too wild to evaluate,” and his behavior indicated past mistreatment. Through agility training, Wushu transformed into a loving and confident dog.

Transformation Through Agility

Following Yaso’s success in agility, Vold introduced Wushu to the sport. With the help of instructor Mickey Rabeneck, Vold and Wushu made remarkable progress. Wushu’s enthusiasm and fearlessness during agility trials showcase his transformation.

Today, Wushu is a loving lap dog and treasured member of the Vold family. Vold is excited to participate in the NAC with Wushu and another dog owned by her instructor. She hopes to showcase Wushu’s abilities and drive in the competition.
