Young Dogs Jumps and Tunnels Workshop:
Wednesday March 23, 9am-12:30 OR 1:30-5pm*
Aiming to build the connection between handlers
and young dogs while applying all the key handling techniques with safe but
fast approaches. Depending on your dog’s current level, we will
train with a few obstacles or on a short sequence. Young dogs with
solid recall are welcome. Only jumps and tunnels will be used.
* You will register for this workshop and groups will be
separated into AM/PM by trying to put similar level dogs into the same
group.
Short Sequence Challenges:
Thursday March 24 9am-12:30 OR 1:30-5pm
This workshop consists of multiple very
challenging current trends on short sequences, where we will use distance
handling, layering, verbals, trust-and-go approaches. Some solid obstacle
commitment with discrimination skills would be very helpful but not required.

Flavors of International Handling:

them. J
