Regional Prep Seminar


Date: May 11, 2024 - 
Instructor: Michelle Boham
Location: Pritchard
# of Spots: There are 16 working spots and 6 auditing spots
Cost: Working Spots $99 for members  and $110 for others (16 spots)
          Audit Spots are $41.50 (members) and $45 for others   (6 spots)       
Registration opens on April 2, 2024 at 7:00 pm for Members Only​

This seminar is geared towards the Regionals Agility Trial competitors, but we welcome members that have some advanced agility experience. Michelle will be discussing the rules of the Regionals and we work through a standard and a gamble course (no dogwalk but other contacts will be used).  First priority will be for those entered in the Regionals show.
If you are not competing at regionals but would like to sign up for a working spot, you will need to have some advanced agility experience e.g. CK9C level 3 handling or higher plus contacts/weaves (or similar training).  I invite you to sign up either way... this is going to be an educational seminar that anyone can benefit from - auditing is a great way to learn also even if you are just a beginner.

At this time, this is a members only event. If this seminar does not fill 6-8 spots per group, we will reach out to non members.  

Please do not send any money until your space is confirmed.
