We will present basic information about the sport and a short agility demonstration. The rest of the session will be spent with you and your dog having fun together participating in an introduction to this exciting and rewarding activity. This is a great opportunity to build trust and confidence and enhance your relationship with your dog. You'll also meet other people who are crazy about their dogs too! Dogs should be at least 10 months old. Human handlers of any age over twelve years are welcome!
SEMINARS
The novice seminar is for handlers and dogs who are preparing to or have just begun competing at the beginning levels. (The dog should be familiar with all equipment including weave poles and be able to work off leash.)
This seminar will focus on the foundation skills necessary to successfully compete in agility trials and how to have fun with your dog while teaching these skills. You will learn valuable tips and techniques to utilize in your training.
Topics will include: teaching fast and accurate contact obstacle performance, sending your dog ahead, call-offs, start-line strategies, obstacle discrimination, motivational games and building confidence in both dog and handler. The format will be a mixture of lecture/demo/discussion and hands on work with participating dogs.
