AAC Handling seminar SEPT 19th

AAC Competition Preparation
Course and Rule Analysis
TWO half-day seminar hosted by Country Lane Pet Resort – Bowmanville, on Saturday Sept.19/09
Join us for a half-day (morning or afternoon) of agility with Tricia Waples and Sharon Dunsmore. There will be 2 courses setup (Standard & Jumper in AM and Gamble & Snooker in afternoon) which Tricia and Sharon will lead you through while teaching you how to read a course map, how to walk a course as well as discussing various handling options that will optimize the skills of each dog/handler team. Rules and discussions of requirements to competing will also be covered.
Pre-requisites: Participants should be proficient on all pieces of equipment at full height and have good handler focus to attend as a dog/handler team. Since this will be a handling and course reading seminar, there will not be a focus on individual obstacle performance.
Dogs that have already completed the Country Lane Pet Resort “Intro to agility “and are currently working in the “Intermediate, Advanced or Masters ” courses may join this seminar as a working team. Others that are progressing to this level may attend as an auditor (without dog), which will provide the attendee(s) with a copy of all handouts as well an opportunity to walk the courses with the group to learn how to read and analyze them. Auditor’s dogs will not be able to participate in the seminar.
About Tricia Waples Tricia has been participating in the sport of agility since 2000. Prior to becoming involved in dog sports, Tricia raised and trained horses for competition in Western games and racing. Her approach to dog training is based on practical experience resting on a solid foundation of knowledge. Tricia is continually reading, attending seminars and researching topics on canine behaviour and dog training of all types. In June 2009, Tricia competed at the AAC Regionals with all 3 of her dogs (Tria, Chelsea and L’eQuippe) placing in the top 10 in their divisions with her youngest dog (L'eQuippe, 2 yrs old) finishing 5th in her division. Tricia will be competing at the AAC Nationals in August this year.
We welcome Tricia to Country Lane Pet Resort with her fresh and motivational approach to agility training. Over the past year she has created her own training program to prepare students to move to new levels of confidence and communication between dog and handler.
About Sharon Dunsmore Sharon Dunsmore was educated as Clinical Nurse Educator for Critical Care Units but has slowly changed her long time hobby with dogs into a large successful business and left the nursing profession. A professional dog trainer for the past 20 years, Sharon currently runs K9 Klubhouse Behavioral Consultation and Dog Training , organizes and runs about 7-9 Agility Trials per year both for CKC and AAC and is a CKC and AAC Agility Judge. In addition, for the past 25 years Sharon has been breeding, showing and playing in various dog sports with her Bearded Collies and has a huge interest in the many issues that face reputable breeders today.
Sharon’s teaching knowledge and program creation skills in Obedience, show handling, rally o and of course agility to name a few have given her the background of no other in the industry. We welcomed Sharon to Country Lane Pet Resort in 2007 as a master’s instructor and she has since prepared many of our students to compete with their dogs in AAC and CKC trials.
What to Bring: Participants are asked to bring a crate and shade for their dog as there will be quite a bit of discussion and course walking. The dogs will need some down time so they can relax in between work sessions. Handlers need to bring toys, treats and water for their dogs. Also, it is recommended that participants bring a pen and clipboard so that they may take notes
