Whitehorse Woofers 2024 agility seminar, with instructor Koralee Samaroden from Fort McMurray, Alberta. We had two beginner mini-seminars on Friday evening at the Takhini dog field, then the rest of the weekend was spent at the dog field, doing two morning and two afternoon seminar sessions. We learned about path-work, early cuing, verbals, distance and discrimination between different agility obstacles, and so much more... Such a great weekend, thank you to everyone who participated, and to Koralee!
Group photos yet to come...
