Distance Seminar

The Agility Facility

presents

A Gamblers Seminar with

IFCS World Team member Jeannette Hutchison!

Tails U Win Manchester, CT-February 23/24, 2013

Does your dog have trouble working away from you? Do you panic when the whistle blows? Jeannette’s tremendously popular Gamblers seminar can help! Jeannette is a many time world team member and multiple time USDAA National Championship finalist. For her complete bio please visit www.cdogrunagility.com

The purpose of this seminar is to lay a foundation to create a dog and handler team with the ability to consistently perform a sequence of obstacles at a distance. Some of the topics and exercises will be:

· what turns your dog, and the ability to redirect

· independent obstacle performance & adding distance to that performance

· does your dog understand your handling?

· timing of your info to your dog

· your dog’s response to your obedience commands

· creating an opening plan- where were you when the whistle blew?

· the mental game, building in a safety plan, and the ability to recover

Please come with an open mind and be ready to try new things! This is a 2 day seminar that is progressive. This isn’t a seminar to teach you how to play Gamblers but rather to lay the foundation to handle your dog from a distance.

Cost is $350 for 2 days

Auditing is $75/day
