Karen Holik: All Things Tunnels! – FULL
When: Saturday 8/22 AM (9am – 12:30pm)
Cost: $180/working team; $100/auditing spot
Max 6 working teams
Do you have trouble keeping your dog out of the tunnel or maybe having them drive to a tunnel? Would you like to work on your dog’s “GO Forward” out of the tunnel and a soft and hard turn out of the tunnel? So many faults happen after a tunnel if your dog doesn’t know how to exit properly. We will cover all the above in All Things Tunnel. This seminar will consist of jumps and tunnels only. All levels welcome.
Karen Holik: Crosses – FULL
When: Saturday 8/22 PM (1:30pm – 5pm)
Cost: $180/working team; $100/auditing spot
Max 6 working teams
Front, Blind and Rear. We will cover them all in sequence. We will work on tighter turns on front crosses, trusting your dog to take the obstacle so you can do the blind efficiently and on time. We will also cover rear crosses because they are just plain hard for some dogs and/or their handlers. This seminar will consist of jumps, tunnels and weaves. All levels welcome.
