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.
