Agility Seminar Pictures - July 25/09

Although it was a small group of us, our handling seminar was successful this past Saturday with each student coming away with a tired dog and lots of information to take home and think about.
Thanks to Tricia Waples for organizing and setting up the seminar for starter/advanced course analysis.

We only had an opportunity to take a few pictures - here they are!

Starter/Advanced Course Analysis

A half-day seminar hosted by Country Lane Pet Resort – Bowmanville, on Saturday July 25/09

Join us for a half-day (morning or afternoon) of agility with Tricia Waples. There will be 4 courses setup (Standard, Gamble, Snooker, Jumper) which Tricia 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.

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 on right)
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.

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

COST:
Participant (with dog): 80.00/dog/handler team, 70.00 for current Country Lane Pet Resort Agility clients
