SUNDAY 26th September 2010 We will be starting at 8:30am, and will finish at about 5pm. Application Forms (same form for all workshops) Applications can be emailed to us. Just click the <ONTACT US> for our email address. Closing date for applications is listed with each class. Payment is due before commencement of the seminar, once your application is accepted. Acceptance for training days is not based on a first come / first served basis. We have a limited number of positions available. So we will be selecting the dogs and people that are most appropriate to the workshop topic, and who best fit the whole group. That means dog/handler teams with particular handling skills. We will also have a bias towards handlers who do not have as much access to our normal daily classes, whether it is because they do not live locally, or work commitments prevent them from attending our usual weekday classes. You will be notified of your acceptance as soon as practical, within a day or two of the closing date. Please do not be offended if you are not selected to attend. It just might be that your dog is too good for a particular workshop, or we have a number of country applicants. INSTRUCTOR'S WEEKEND 2010 We usually hold our instructors training two day intensive workshop some time in December. We are still deciding on a date for this year. This workshop is aimed at people who want to instruct at clubs, but feel they need a stronger background is teaching skills to set their students up to succeed in competition, not just at novice level, but to go on to compete at the highest level. Topics covered include how dogs (and people) learn, the importance of a good foundation, how to teach individual obstacles, teaching sequencing, body language and signals, the importance of verbal cues, how to teach distance work and more. Just drop me a quick email if you are interested in coming to such a seminar. I will then be able to notify you about exact dates. Otherwise, just keep an eye on this site, where we will publish any updates. Click here application form for more information, details about cost and an application form. Applications can be emailed back to us, or contact us by email to get our snail mail address.

This workshop
is for those dogs that need to be a few (or many) seconds faster. It
will not give a quick fix, speed will not
be created in a day. We will, however, be developing exercises to give your
dog the confidence to accelerate, to drive ahead of you and to discover
there is fun in speed.
skills. Because
the class is divided into two groups, we should be able to give a lot of
help to the intermediate group, while really pushing the advanced handlers
to their limit.
