Seminars

Let's work the beginning foundation steps for your puppy!

Come work short courses with weaves. Let's talk about handling options and learn!

Handling with jumps and tunnels in short sequences with attention to the details of consistent and clear handling. This seminar is appropriate for any handler wishing to better communicate with their dog, regardless of age. Teams must be at least 8 months and have an understanding of jumps and tunnels.

Balance your training to strengthen your dog's understanding of your handling and improve your technique execution in short sequences that show your dog how small differences can make a big impact. Appropropriate for dogs sequencing at least 8-10 obstacles and have an understanding of jumps and tunnels. (jumps do not need to be full height). Dogs should be a minimum of 12 months, but appropriate for dogs of any age.

This seminar is for those that wish to challenge themselves and their team with international style handling. Teams should be familiar with backsides, threads, and other international style challenges. You do not have to be competing internationally or even have the desire to do so in order to learn to communicate with your dogs on these courses, they are for every team.

This seminar will help you unlock the ability to run a fast dog, even if you are not a fast handler, or get that velcro dog off your side!  Any level team is welcome, focus will be on distance handling in mostly masters level sequences. 

Join Jeri for a fun seminar that will focus on those all-important foundation skills. We can adjust for the littles and for pups that are a bit older! * Please note time allocated for this seminar may be adjusted based on the number of students participating.

This workshop will feature shorter sequences focusing on skills popular in ISC/UKI style courses. This is appropriate for teams wanting to practice their timing and execution, or for teams just starting their ISC journey. Challenges for every team and necessary skills may be broken down into bite-sized training portions.

Learn how to build your dog's confidence working at a distance, and how and when to use layering on course. All equipment may be used. Can accommodate most levels.

Working your weaves and distances! Come out to work 12 poles with channels

Longer handling sequences with your young/green dogs. Work on your handling skills and communication with your young/green dog. Happy to break things down but dogs should be comfortable on all equipment.

Rising Stars! - All things PUPPIES! Bridget will share tips, tricks and fun games to bring out the best in your new pup (or future pup)! Bridget’s goal with a new pup is always to build confidence, joy, the desire to play with her, and the love of running really fast!

Come work more advanced with cones, wings and body awareness!

Do you understand verbals vs body cues? Do you want to learn more verbals? Let's play with our wraps, rears and backsides!

Let's learn and challenge you on how to play the games with a UKI Judge. You can apply some of the gamblers to AKC Fast. We will have courses set up, talk rules and strategy and then run. We will then have a mulligan to try to do better!

Listen to Melanie Miller in this powerful workshop to teach you the art of defining goals for you and your dog that both inspire and motivate you to get better! Once the goal process is laid out, then we will drill down into how to create training plans that complement your goals so that you can see measurable progress in your training, all while making sure to keep fun a priority for you and your dog!
