October 30, 2025(2 events) 5:30 pm: Agility Workshop - Start Line Skills – There is a lot on the line at the Start of your run! Your dog is excited, you are focused on where you want to get to and remembering the course. Having a dog that can reliably STAY where you set them up can make the difference between a clean run and a frantic attempt. Your dog's job is to wait for your release command: your job is to give clear direction to your dog. We will also practice starts at different angles, including a reverse start. You want your dog to be able to take an obstacle straight on, or at an angle - depending on the line of the course. And, what are your options if your dog really cannot relax at the start? You will need another plan. Nothing is more important to me than having a strong start...there is a lot to think about on course. Having a good plan at the start can do a lot to lead you to a clean run! Workshop pricing: Instructor: Carolyn Ross Workshop pricing: Instructor: Carolyn Ross 6:45 pm: Agility Workshop - Obstacle Commitment – When you ask your dog to take an obstacle, you want them to take that obstacle no matter where you are heading next. It's the only way to get ahead of your dog - as in most cases, the dog is faster than the handler. This workshop will introduce skills and methods to teach your dog to be more independent and committed to taking an obstacle you ask them to take. Once dogs understand, they seem to appreciate knowing where to go next! Tunnels, jumps and Weave Poles will be used. Workshop pricing: Instructor: Carolyn Ross |

November 6, 2025(2 events) 5:30 pm: Agility Workshop - Go On...Driving Forward – One of the first skills I want to teach my agility puppy, is to drive forward. Don't wait for me - take the obstacle that is in front of you. This teaches obstacle commitment, independence, and confidence. There are times when I want my dog to run ahead of me and trust the line of obstacles in front of them. We will primarily be working with jumps and tunnels. Workshop pricing: Instructor: Carolyn Ross 6:45 pm: Agility Workshop - Intro to Backside Jumps – Backside jumps are relatively new in agility, but a necessity as you move up in levels. While Backside jumps are generally set on your dog's path, this is a skill that requires more commitment and independence from your dog. We will explore different angles to backsides, what verbal cues to add, and how to build your dog's confidence. Workshop pricing: Instructor: Carolyn Ross |

November 13, 2025(2 events) 5:30 pm: Agility Workshop - Obstacle Verbal Skills – Teaching our agility dogs verbal cues can help the dog to process which obstacle will be next. This can help build our dog's speed and confidence. This workshop will teach you simple methods for teaching your dog the names of the obstacles. You might think they know the names of each obstacle, but often the dog is only responding to your body language. We will test each dog's understanding and help them learn to decipher each obstacle. We will primarily be working with jumps, tunnels, and weaves. Workshop pricing: Instructor: Carolyn Ross 6:45 pm: Agility Workshop - Extension vs Collection Cues – While generally we want our dogs driving forward at their fastest speed, we need to teach our dogs to collect for tight turns. This workshop will teach the dog the different cues for driving forward and slow down to make a turn. The earlier the dog is prepared, the less chance of wide turns or falls. Think of driving your car with your GPS on. Don't you hate it when your GPS tells you too late that a turn is coming up and you miss it? This is probably how our dogs often feel when our instructions come too late. Let's get better at helping our dog know whether to extend for speed or collect for a turn.

November 20, 2025(2 events) 5:30 pm: Agility Workshop - Send Outs & Lateral Handling – While dogs like to run parallel to us, there are times the dog must leave our side and send out to an obstacle. Also, there are times that it is beneficial for our dogs to run parallel to us, but at a distance. This workshop will explore ways to help your dog be comfortable working away from you. This is certainly a necessary skill for the game of Gamblers....but can also be very helpful in many regular classes too. Your dog will run faster if he is not running right next to you.....and you won't have to run as much because your dog will understand to continue on the line while you move to the next part of the course. Workshop pricing: Instructor: Carolyn Ross 6:45 pm: Agility Workshop - K9 Winter Prep Fitness – As the days get shorter and darker, we tend to spend more time indoors. While it is good for your agility dog to have a break from the sport, it is also important to keep their bodies strong and flexible. Also - snow and ice are additional risks for your active dog. This workshop will give you some easy exercises to help your dog stay fit during the winter months. We will work on flexibility, core, hind end, front end strength, cardio, and body awareness. All things your agility dog needs to stay safe. Just 10-15 minutes three times a week can go far to keep your dog healthy and strong. Workshop pricing: Instructor: Carolyn Ross |
