FOUNDATION CAMPS - HANA FULLMER
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.
Camps are $300 per slot.

Lunch and snacks provided.

This class is designed with a number of exercises to help you nail the timing of your training to gain progress exponentially!
