Agility for all levels - starting next week!

AGILITY FUNDAMENTALS FOR PUPPIES

Agility Fundamentals for Puppies is open to puppies between 5 and 14 months of age. The course will use shaping to introduce puppies to some of the challenges presented by Agility Obstacles. Early experience, necessary for the development of the nervous system, will be provided in a safe manner so as not to damage the developing bones and joints. Obstacles will be done “off leash” for the safety of the puppy, so some prior training in a puppy class is required.

For details and sign-up - https://companiondogclub.dogbizpro.com/Public/Registration/Index.aspx?schedule=471

INTERMEDIATE HANDLING

Intermediate Handling is a class designed for agility teams that are still progressing with their coursework. The courses will be shorter sequences that may use some or all of the trial equipment and designed to work on continued course skills.

For details and sign-up - https://companiondogclub.dogbizpro.com/Public/Registration/Index.aspx?schedule=469

ADVANCED SKILLS

Advanced Skills is designed to allow for a variety of focuses. Either on training sequences, longer sequences or skill focused drills will be used. This class is appropriate for dogs that are sequencing and who have been exposed to and are competent on all the obstacles. Topics covered will be serps, threadles, discriminations, and other challenging skills.

Disc Dog Seminar - Saturday, October 22nd - 8:00 am - 2:00 pm
Held at Hastings Banner Park 5005 Virginia St. Omaha, Ne.

Disc Dog Seminar/ Trial Working and Auditing

Companion Dog Club and Nebraska Disc Dogs are partnering up to offer an Introduction to Disc Dog seminar and UpDog Trial!

The seminar will introduce participants to disc dog through three UpDog venue games: Frizgility, 4 Way Play, and Spaced Out. Rules, playing strategy, and other disc dog skills will be discussed, demonstrated, and then taught to participants and their dogs.

Seminar registration will include 3 hours of instruction and practice (1 hour per game) and then two runs of each game (eta 1 hour for a total of 6 hours of training and practice). One run will be practice-only, and the second run will be an official, scored run sent into UpDog for points toward UpDog badges and AKC titles. There will be 8 working slots available and unlimited audit slots.

The seminar will run from 8:00 am to 2:00pm, and, following the seminar, Nebraska Disc Dogs is hosting an official UpDog trial from 2:00pm to 6:00pm. At Hastings Banner Park 5005 Virginia St. Omaha, Ne.

Participants in the seminar are welcome to stay and compete in the games that they learned that morning or try out any of the other games being offered. This official trial is a For Points Only (FPO) event using a Wildcard (unstructured; you play the games you wish to play when you wish to play them) setup and there will not be awards or ribbons offered to participants for this trial.

Seminar Working slots are $90
Seminar Audit slots are $50

Both working slot students and auditor students will be allowed to participate in the 2-6pm trial for an additional $10/run.

UpDog does cap the number of runs a dog can do in a single day at 10, with three runs per game. (The cap does not include Exhibition-Only runs. Just pointed runs that will be reported and tallied.)
