Join us June 28th and 29th for a Rally Workshop with AKC Rally Judge Marlene Becker.
Marlene will cover two levels per day. Sign up for one, two or all four! See below for descriptions of each level.
NOTE: In order for each person attending to get as much out of this workshop as possible; if there is a particular question you want answered, please write it on your registration. Please, no dogs. Handlers only.
***********************************
NOVICE: some people have never been in a trial nor had a lesson. This workshop will explain how to enter the ring; how to set up at the start: how to interrupt the signs; and how to approach the sign. How to enter the figure 8, and please – don’t make the signs harder than they are. Breathe.
ADVANCED: The dreaded PIVOT. What the judge is looking for. How not to lose 10 points on the pivot.
And at the advanced level: the sit and down – what is expected of the dog in Advanced.
EXCELLENT: You’re playing with the heavy hitters now. You can no longer clap your hands or slap your leg for your dog’s attention. The judge will expect the handler and the dog to act as a team. You need to fine tune your team’s performance. Now the signs ask for the moving stand and moving down, and direct the dog to stay while the handler walks six feet away and issues a command.
MASTER: The title says it all. Master – not mediocre. There’s no retry in Master class. You have to get it right the first time. Now the spin is introduced, and the front sidestep. Let’s simplify the cloverleaf. Some of the signs build upon earlier signs, so we’ll point those out to demystify a few of those Master ones.
COST: Pre-entry to June 20: $45 per level. For both levels on the same day: $80.
Day of the workshop: $55 per level. For both levels on the same day: $100.
Classes are limited, please pre-register using the form below. Lunch and snacks will be provided.
