FOUNDATION CAMPS
These are perfect for the green (newly started) dog or handler. They are also a great refresher if you are struggling with your dog. There are two instructors and you switch off between instructors every 90 minutes or so. Camp activity is planned and orchestrated so all participants are doing the same exercise. This enables you to hear it, see it and feel it. Some camps are two days and some are single days. There is a maximum of 8 dogs per camp which will give you plenty of work time. Single day camps are designed to go through the trialing rules and courses before the upcoming trial.
Two day camps are $300.00 per slot. If you attend all three Foundation camps, it is $250 per camp with a refund provided at the last camp.
This camp runs from Friday at about noon to 6:00 pm then Saturday from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm.
Lunch and snacks provided.
Single day camps are $150 per slot. If you attend all three single day foundation camps, the cost is $125, with refund provided at the last single day camp.
This camp runs all day or until you have had enough. Bring your own lunch.

Praise too soon and you teach the wrong ting; correct too late and you won't change behavior. This class is designed with a number of exercises to help you nail the timing of your training to gain progress exponentially!
