sheena Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) This is a copy & paste from my Facebook Page....I think I might give it a go :) Agility people, help send Australians overseas, they return and share fun and interesting things with us and we make new friends . WAC Fundraiser, online foundation course, fits in with the summer break. :) New WAC Fundraising Course - feel free to share. So excited. Launching our new Foundation Agility course. This course will be run as a fundraising venture for Team Australia WAC2015, Italy. It is about helping you to work through some fun foundation training in a supportive on-line community where you can get personalised feedback about your training so that you develop the skills that you require to advance your agility goal and have a great time training your dog. We aim to help you build confidence in both you and your dog whilst working through this course. So if you want: *a training partner because you can’t get to a club *personalised feedback on how to refine your training so you can improve *fun drills to teach foundation skills *training ideas and plans to help you make progress *to start a puppy off on the right path *to build skills and confidence for both you and your dog *to fix the holes in your older dogs understanding You will receive: ==> 8 weeks access to the course ==> 6 weeks of structured lesson ==> Course notes and video examples of us training the skills with our own dogs ==> A week off over the Christmas/New Year period where you can take a rest, catch up or increase your prowess. ==> A week catch at the end of the course for any last minutes questions and feedback No expensive equipment needed, all elements of the course can be done in a small space or inside if desired. Participant - $120, Audit - $60 Course Starts Friday December 5th 2014 For more information please email Denise [email protected] Edited November 30, 2014 by sheena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'm in...only $60 for an auditing spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Bumping this up as it is for a good cause, & $60 is not a lot to be coached by some of the best agility people in Australia :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teekay Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 My agility teacher has sent me the link to this too. Think I will probably give it a go. Give me motivation to do stuff over the summer break. Would absolutely love to do Susan Garrett's Handling 360 course but that is waaaaaay too expensive.

Agility Dogs Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 These ladies are really good and have spent a LOT of time over the last couple of years learning all they can about not only Susan's H360 but also other motion based handling techniques. I really recommend their course for what it's worth. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheena Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I have my 2 border collies Myf and Zac doing it I didn't know you had Bc's....what colour is the dog laying down at the front ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffylover81 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I wasn't planning on having border collies as my next dog but now I couldn't give my two up for anything, Myf is the one laying down in the front and she's a sable border collie but registered with the ANKC as Tri as that is what we thought she was it wasn't until she got a few weeks older that we realised she was sable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 I thought she might be sable, but then I thought it may be just the light shining on her coat bringing out the red. She is lovely...looking forward to seeing how she goes with the course. I am just doing it as auditor cause I don't have enough download allowance to post videos I am also doing one of Stacy Richards on-line courses in Foundation. Trying to get ready for when I take my first class of "beginners" at the beginning of next year. I just love foundation work, but I have been warned not to bore the pants off my new class. It makes it hard when I know that to do reasonably well at agility, the dogs & handlers need the foundation BEFORE they ever see an obstacle. I even introduce it back into my Advanced class every now & then. Maybe someone on here who teaches raw beginners, might be able to give me an idea as to what obstacles I can bring out on the first night. I thought a short tunnel & maybe get them running to a target through a couple of jumps. Oh...& lesson number one will be Park Your Dog :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teekay Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Yep that's my Luka :) and yes, just as an auditor. I just know I would never get round to doing the videos. Besides which I hate loath and detest hearing myself speak :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
