The Wednesday evening classes have now been sorted out and I have emailed the details out to everyone involved. I would be grateful if all involved could let me know if you have received the email (or not!!), and also if you would like to take up your space (or not!).
I am pleased to announce that it looks likely that there will also be training on Thursday evenings in a few more weeks, although a few more spaces still need to be filled in order to cover the cost of hiring the venue! While waiting to see if that will happen, we have an opportunity to hold a small number of one hour workshops on Thursday evenings at 8:30pm, if enough people are interested. If you are interested in any of the following, or have some other specific topic that we could work on over an hour, please get in touch! The workshops will be £10 although Effing members will get a 20% discount.
Here are some ideas:
Weaves: working on independence, no matter what other equipment is around or what the handler is doing; crossing infront or after the weaves, difficult entries.
Contacts: obstacle discrimination, proofing to nail those contacts, independence.
Grid work: improving jumping style, athleticism, and working on with drive and power.
Verbal directional cues: advancing your dogs' understanding of what direction you wish them to take.
Working on turns: handling for tighter turns, improving your cues, and schooling your dog to get tighter turns
Obstacle discrimination.
Crate games (brilliant for start line waits, teaching dogs to have self control, and more)
