KineticDog is hosting our sixth annual Winter
Camp! Join Jessica Ajoux, Mary Ellen Barry and Perry DeWitt for these
exciting camps and workshops. All three instructors are OneMind Dog
coaches. We will help you fine tune your
handling, apply the 3 C’s (Connect, Commit, Cue) and learn agility from your
dog’s perspective. What a great way to ward off the winter blues! These
camps will be held at Orchard Hills Dog Training in Barto, PA. The site
is indoors, heated on Sprinturf. There will be 2 rings adjacent to each
other. Dogs that are highly distracted
by other working dogs are not well suited for our camps.
There are three camps offered: 1 Sequencing Camp and 2 Coursework
Camps in addition to workshops.

Workshops!
Jessica
Ajoux – Super Skills
Friday 1/31 – 9am-12:15pm
This workshop is designed to train the skills
required for advanced level performance. We have developed a system of trained
verbal commands that we feel are helping us tackle the challenges of any
course. We will show you what we are training and how to train it. If you feel
you are missing that extra edge in your agility training, or you watch a team
and think “How did they get their dog to do that??” This workshop will give you
the answers.
Example topics:
• Verbals for jumps- turns, backsides, threadles
and wraps
• Verbals on the flat- Bybpass cue and turn away
cues
• Tunnel handling- tunnel threadle cue
Sequences might be used, but will be tailored
according to current training level. The focus always remains on the TRAINING.
