What’s this agility camp thing all about?
It’s a perfect opportunity to give you and your dog exposure to new and
wonderful instructors, and over the course of 2 days to learn many new things
and become a better team in the process.
Who can attend?
Any dog currently competing at any level, in any venue, or ready to compete can
attend.
Can I just attend
one day?
Unfortunately, no; because of the rotating instructor format and material to be
covered, you must attend both days for the full camp experience.
The cost is $250 for a full 2 days of camp experience.
What’s the
schedule?
Working teams will be set up based on experience level and problem/focus areas.
Each team will stay together for the course of the weekend, rotating from
instructor to instructor for working sessions each day.
There will be breaks between working sessions, as well as a lunch break.
Can I work a
second dog?
You may only work one dog at a time.
However, if you want to substitute a second dog working at a similar or
higher level to your first dog, please contact me so I can approve the
substitution. You may bring as many
additional dogs to camp as you wish to that you are not working in camp.
Make
it an agility vacation!
Stay
for the CPE Agility trial at the same site on August 9-10!
Put into practice what you’ve learned in camp by competing in a friendly,
one ring trial environment. Camping
allowed on site all 4 days.
Opening postmark date for the trial is June 17th.
