TREIBBALL SEMINAR “LET’S HERD BALLS”
SATURDAY OR SUNDAY - March 17 or March 18, 2012
PRESENTED BY - PAT MILLER, CPDT, CDBC
Treibball is a competitive dog sport that is based on sheep herding. The “sheep” are balls that the dog is taught to push/herd into a pen. The handler will direct the dog off leash using 8 balls (sheep), with obedience and herding signals. All balls must be in the pen in 15 minutes and then the dog lies down at the entrance to the pen to keep the balls/sheep in. Click here to learn more about this exciting seminar!

Special Training for Deaf Boxers
Unique Training for Cute Boxer Puppies
John and Maria Harrington called with a request to aid them in the basic obedience of their new boxer puppies. That in itself was not too surprising, but the puppies were. Kayla and Seamus turned out to be two beautiful white boxer puppies.

In the Beginning
Don Brown is the owner of The Academy of Dog Training and Agility. With
more than 25 years of experience training, showing and breeding dogs, he is
well versed in the necessary components for dogs to be positive members of
their communities. Don started out in confirmation, owner handling his
English Pointers to their championships.
Don has trained in obedience with Susan Strickland, Carolyn Price, West
Chester Obedience Club and with Pam Helmer of the Talbot Kennel Club. He has
taught for the West Chester Obedience Club and the Wilmington Kennel Club.
He has put obedience titles on two of his standard poodles. He trains in
agility with Linda Snyer of the Talbot Kennel Club. At the present time he
is running "Ross", standard poodle, in agility.
It was while training at Talbot Kennel Club that Don became familiar
with the clicker training positive method. We emphasize the word "positive".
It makes training fun for you and your dog.
The following are the dogs and the titles Don put on them:
- Harmonie Buster Blanc Chein - CD
- CH Trelarken’s ‘Bout Time - CD
