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!

About the Academy
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.

Nose Work
Come try out the exciting new sport of Nose Work. Nose work gives your dog an opportunity to use his excellent ability to detect and hunt down scents. It is great fun for your dog and helps build confidence and problem solving abilities while burning lots of physical and mental energy. At the Sniff-In each dog will be given the opportunity to try nose work by hunting for their favorite treat. Let your dog show you how it is done! Bring your dog on a 6 foot leash (no flexis) and treats.
Introduction to Nose Work Class: TBA
