Advanced Distance Skills Agility Workshop with Lisa Schmit PhD, CCFT CPMP

Friday, February 28th and Saturday, March 1st
8:00 am - 4:00 pm
Working and auditing spots available

Are you ready for more distance challenges? This workshop will push the distance with challenging and fun sequences. Do you want to try bonus lines? During the workshop, we will really push the distance! We will examine different handling techniques needed to work farther from your dog. During this seminar we will work on sequences to refine directionals while incorporating more distance into the exercises.  We will push you to be more clear, crisp, consistent and calm in your handling. We will focus on when, where and how to cue your dog properly using body language, verbal cues and motion and push for more distance. Teams must be competing at least at the Open level to attend this seminar.

You are welcome to attend Friday, Saturday, or both. Each day is a different opportunity to receive tailored feedback, adjusted to each dog, on a different course. Double your learning opportunities and build on Friday's material by attending both days and receive coaching by one of the top competitors in the agility world!

Foundations for Distance Agility Workshop with Lisa Schmit PhD, CCFT CPMP

This seminar will focus on the foundation skills necessary to be successful working away from your dog. Whether it is 10 feet or 100 feet, strong foundation skills are imperative for good distance control. Topics: Directionals (GO, HERE, SWITCH, OUT, IN), discriminations and other foundation skills as well understanding the importance of being crisp, clear, calm and consistent with your handling. All levels of teams are welcome - beginner teams that need to learn these skills and more advanced teams that need a "tune-up" or would like to push for more distance. My goal for this class is to teach my favorite foundation exercises needed to move on to more advanced exercises.
