For the Benefit of the Island Rescue Organization: 2nd Team Kovu Dog Sport Cup on Nov. 28, 2015

This press release is a charity post and I greatly urge all dog owners to attend. All material in this post has been provided by the event organizers. I was invited to the afternoon presentation at Friday's BCG and after which we were fed a heavy snack. I would like to note that:

- the obstacles are made from bamboo and eco-friendly.
- the man who conceptualize this event loved his dog so much, that the passing away of Kovu made him push to bring to reality the original concept of man and our canine friend doing sports together
- that it is a fun event, and if my little toy poodle, Bailey, was still alive, I could have joined with her, as I could lift her over the hurdle and there are no minus in points
- that the registration fee is highly affordable
- that this kind of event provide a challenge for both owner and dog
- that this event is a venue that will aid in creating unforgettable bonding moments for us and our canine friends

Now on its second year, the chosen event benefactor IRO, is a non-profit animal welfare group based in Cebu. Its Executive Director, Ms. Nena Hernandez will be coming all the way from Cebu to share awareness on their advocacies and the assistance that the local dog community in the metro can extend to their noble cause on the south side of the country. Aside from being a fund-raising event, the “Team Kovu Challenge” will be launched to the public as the main event!

This will be the first ever human and dog outdoor adventure challenge in the country and it was designed and conceptualized entirely by Team Kovu.

Most of the obstacles that the challenge will have are made of bamboos and were based or derived from the real-life obstacles that Team Kovu have already faced on their outdoor adventures. There is no rigid dog training experience needed to overcome each obstacle to win the challenge. The strength of the human and dog’s bonding, together with how well their teamwork is will be the key factors to win. In its introductory year, the challenge is easy enough for a child with a well-bonded dog to complete and enjoy!

The challenge is open to all dog breeds of all sizes that are already six (6) months old and above and if the human participating is below thirteen (13) years old, he/she needs to have his/her parents or guardian present on the event. Aside from the Team Kovu Challenge, the following activities are also set to happen on that day:

•Philippine Canine Sports Alliance (PCSA) Official Agility Trials
•Beginner’s Fun Challenge
•All American Bulldog Show
•Photo Contest

Aside from getting some gifts from the event sponsors, which are Royal Canin, EzyDog, Vitality, and Pet Discount, the top winning participant will take home the coveted Team Kovu Crystal Cup trophy. Percentage of the registration fees for all the activities on the event will go to IRO. Through this event, Team Kovu is staying true to their campaign of promoting an active human and dog lifestyle! For more information on all the activities happening on the event, please visit the Team Kovu Website.

About Team Kovu

TeamKovu Enterprises was legally established in March 8, 2012. However, the concept before its legal formation started a year earlier in February, 2011 when Carl Michael G. de Leon and his personally trained American Bulldog named Kovu passed the qualifying trial to compete in the official Philippine Mondioring trials. The “Carl and Kovu” tandem was already a known duo to the local dog community since 2007 as they usually participate in key dog events happening in and around the metro. Team Kovu’s reputation was built not only to be known as competitors in the different dog sport events in the country, but also by doing adventure activities like climbing mountains together, river trekking, and exploring different beach getaways that are dog-friendly. Backed by nine (9) years of professional dog training experience, media attention such as TV guesting and magazine features came along the team’s way. Also, aside from holding dog training classes, the team also gets invited often to do seminars on how to properly communicate with dogs. The Team Kovu brand aims and continuously promotes an active human and dog lifestyle by providing new and exciting venues on which they can spend quality time together and further bring their relationship to new heights.
