Favorite Cheerleader
Jessie Broadway- Always willing to help at practices and events. Takes photos and video for the club. Cheered on the National Championship competitors from afar with decorations for the Club Challenge at Nationals.
Most Inspiring Team (Dog & Handler)
Matthew Pablico/Noel- Getting up there even when there was no one else his age, feeling scarred because he thought he had to compete against Alfredo/Puma – going from not jumping off the dock to jumping over 20ft
Most Improved Handler
Matthew Pablico- taken all the advise in stride and put it to good use, always ready to listen to others.
Most Exciting Team (Dog & Handler)
Alfredo Rivera/Puma- Always a show stopper, wondering what they’re going to do next…maybe fall in the pool? Again?
Sports Person Of The Year
Lianne Hassen- Reaches out to others who are interested in the sport of DockDogs. Creating and maintaining the LVDD club at a top notch level. Working hard to bring more competitions to Vegas and the West Coast!
Volunteer of the Year
Laura/Bob Lockwood- Such dedicated volunteers at all of our practices and events. Bob is also our club handyman, taking care of our dock/pool for us! We wouldn’t have such a great place to practice without him. Both Laura and Bob were the creative minds behind the Elvis and Show Girl which won the club our headquarters decoration prize at Nationals!
