In The Zone Agility
Presents
NADAC Handling & Skills Seminar
with Paula Goss and Lisa Bonker
May 7, 8 & 9 2012
Woodstown NJ
NADAC Clinicians, Lisa Bonker and Paula Goss, will be offering a 3-day seminar in between two ITZ trials this coming May 2012 at the beautiful outdoor Salem County Fairgrounds in Woodstown, New Jersey.
Begin your week May 4th 5th, and 6th with a fun laid back “In The Zone” agility trial with Ron Young judging. Agility all day with friends, yappy hours and maybe even an imprompt kickball game in the evening!
On Monday through Wednesday (May 7th, 8th, and 9th) the work begins! Lisa and Paula will cover as many NADAC skills as 3 days will allow:
Training distance – NADAC is known for its distance and speed.
We will cover distance sequences from novice chances through Elite bonus lines and help you make distance skills part of every run and not just a chances class skill.
Training speed and motivation - You want your dog to be as fast as THEY can be, not as fast as you can be and you don’t want them dependent on you for obstacle performances. We will cover how we teach speed, control, distance and motivation on common NADAC sequences.
Handling: Perfecting your verbal/body/pathwork/motion cues and other challenges frequently encountered on NADAC courses- Agility is more than straight lines. We will cover how to use all the cues to get the most efficient lines/turns from your dogs, how we teach discriminations, switches, tight turns, and other challenges that encounter on NADAC courses.
Analysis of obstacle performances - safe performances = sound dogs. We will take a close look at jumping and contact obstacles for each dog. Video analysis may be used during these sessions so feel free to bring your personal video camera if you want to keep what we record and discuss.
Putting it all together: On May 11th, 12th, and 13th, put it all together and end your week with Lisa and Paula with another fun “In the Zone” agility trial with Robin Carberry judging.
There are several hotels within 20 minutes from the fairgrounds as well as RV (electric only) hookups, wonderful indoor bathrooms and a private shower, acres and acres of fields for the dogs (and you) to run and unwind.
A Working Spot is $350.00 for all three days or $125.00 for a single day. Auditing is $25 a day.
We are limiting this seminar to 20 teams per day. (10 teams each group – groups will work with both Lisa and Paula each day) so come join us for a wonderful week of NADAC in May!
