Descriptions:
Flow like a PRO - Get your smooth groove on with no rushing, just trusting your dog. I will break down handling into small pieces to develop flow and smoothness resulting in overall better teamwork. Smooth is fast and fast is smooth! Discover how to truly see commitment in your dog and develop dog skills for obstacle focus. I’ll help you increase your connection on course so that you don’t have to rush. Rushing can cause off courses, refusals, bars and frustrated dogs. We will also discuss the mental side of course walking and planning your handling so you can flow better than ever! This seminar is suitable for handlers of all levels and dogs that can sequence jumps and tunnels.

Ring Impulse Control - Is your dog a little crazy in and around the agility ring? Does your dog have start line issues? Problems controlling itself in high energy environments? This seminar is for you! We will work on developing focus & engagement inside and outside of the ring for hyped up and over-aroused dogs. We will find a starting point for success in each individual dog with arousal control games that you'll practice in the seminar and be able to replicate at home and in your classes. It takes time to harness impulse control but you need to know where to start! Suitable for all excitable dogs that need to find their thinking brain.

READY TO COMPETE (Group Class) - Polishing skills for competition for young/new dogs that just started competing or are getting close to being ring ready. Start and End Routines will be a focus and also environment skills like horns, whistles, leash runners, ring crew and judge. We'll also make sure your dog is ready to go for contacts and weaves.

ENGAGEMENT Skills for Distracted Dogs - Is your dog or puppy having trouble focusing on you? This class is for you! Get ready to harness your dog's focus and build your teamwork to a new level. We will meet each team at their level and work to develop a higher level of engagement outside and inside the ring for agility training. This class is for all dogs that do agility and for puppies that are over 5 months.

Hi all,
Just a reminder of our upcoming seminar by Mary. Here is a link that shows her awesome distance skills at competition.

https://youtu.be/oI_tlpz2gTs

Mary Champagne is offering a great agility seminar for distance and independence. Are dogs getting faster or are we getting slower? Are you looking for more independent skills for your dog? Courses these days are requiring more skills and handling at a distance with more independence. Sometime handler injury is getting in the way of us enjoying this sport that seems to be more for those who can run. Mary is here to help change this! It takes time to teach independent skills to your dog and you can teach most skills in a smaller space.
Seminar will be Feb 1-2, 2025; working spots (both days) are $450 and auditing for $75 per day. Please email Maren at [email protected] for registration.

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions,
Maren

Please be careful this time of year with mushrooms! I try to get rid of them at our facility but they grow so fast. If you think your dog has eaten a toxic mushroom you should take them to an emergency vet immediately.
