Dogwalk Time!

Agility workshop

with Kristie

This workshop will focus on using the dogwalk in sequences. Ideally, dogs should have had some previous exposure to running on the dogwalk, but not necessarily at full height. Sequences will include skills such as turning away from the bottom of the dogwalk to another obstacle, approaching the dogwalk correctly, touch the contact area and comfort with the handler at a small distance.

Either/Or Drills for Skills

Agility workshop

with Kristie

In this workshop, participants and their dog will work on short sets which will be sequenced in different ways. Your dog will run the set a couple of times one way, then we'll modify the sequence slightly and you will run your dog through the set using the new sequence.

This is great practice for staying connected with your dog and making sure they are paying attention.
