Stacy Peardot Goudy is coming to Canine Fun Sports.

Stacy is a well known handler in the USA and those who have been to her previous seminars in Australia will give glowing reports of her excellence as a seminar presenter, not only the content of her seminars, but her rapport with her students and her enthusiasm.

We think she is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME.

You can find out more about Stacy, her dogs and her achievements by going to  http://www.cspotwin.com/

Here are the dates and details of the seminars that Stacy will be doing with us in Sydney.
I hope to be able to add a little more detail if Stacy gets a chance to send us a bit more information.
I am not exactly sure what she has planned for us!

3rd and 4th of November - Seminar for masters dogs - controlling the high drive dog at speed

5th and 6th of November - Novice and Intermediate dogs
You have the option of doing  just one or both days of this class.
This class is directed at dogs that have started to trial in novice and excellent classes
(or perhaps just about to start trialling)

 7th November - Puppy and Young Dog Foundation Training
Limited number of puppies and young dogs accepted.
There will be a lot of demonstration work in this seminar, so it is a good one to audit.

8th and 9th November - Dogs trialling in Excellent and Masters dogs that need that little bit of extra speed.
This seminar will be a general handling seminar but will also give a bit of extra work on how to encourage speed for the slower dog.
That means it is also suitable for the less experienced fast dogs.

13th and 14th November - Distance Handling (remember Stacy "wrote the book")
You have the option of doing just one or both days of this seminar. Each day will cover different work.

We have also reserved the 12th November, if we have the demand.
(Otherwise we will be doing some sight seeing!)

Things to keep in mind:

1. The seminar will be held at our training centre at Castlereagh. We are able to cater for people who may want to camp or caravan it. Just let us know so we can cater for you.
2. We reserve the right to allocate people to classes that we feel suit them better than their own choice. This will not be done without prior consultation with the handler, because we also recognise that choices are also made on the dates the handlers have available to them.
3. Due to previous experiences, we are placing certain stipulations on payments.
   a) Once the programme is finalised, to confirm your position, we will require a 25% non-refundable deposit. This will need to be paid prior to the end of July. Your place in the seminar can only be guaranteed by placing this deposit. People who have sent in their "expression of interest" will have first opportunities to reserve their positions, but the seminar will be re-advertised in June.
   b) If you withdraw from the seminar prior to 1st October, in most circumstances, this deposit will not be refunded, although any further payments will be refunded.
   c) If the seminar is cancelled by us, for whatever reason, this deposit may not be refunded – this money will have already been paid out to cover expenses, or been paid to Stacy. We will refund this money IF it is available, but no guarantees. If the seminar is cancelled by us we guarantee that we will refund any money above that 25% deposit.
   d) Full payment will be needed by 1st October. If you withdraw from the seminar after this time, your money will not be refunded unless you find some-one to full your position (and then, only if we are fully booked.)
   e) If the Australian Dollar drops below parity with the US Dollar, we reserve the right to increase prices, since Stacy's charges to us are in US dollars.

 We are starting to get excited about having Stacy back in the country. We would like to thank Holly Connor for helping with the organisation, it would not have happened without her. We hope we see you here for the event.

2008 and 2009 saw the late Ronda Carter come to visit us at Canine Fun Sports. We will miss her visits, but for those who want to remember the short time we had with her, then click this link.
