SEMINARS and WORKSHOPS

Each year we sponsor several seminars by well known trainers as well as hold workshops on specific skills for sports, fitness and health. Our goal is to help our students and instructors perfect skills as they grow in the careers in dogs. Workshops typically are 2 to 4 hours long and are concentrated training in a specific subject like utility articles, weave poles, or canine conditioning. Seminars are longer more diverse training opportunities with a guest speaker in a specific sport or discipline and typically last for several days.

Check out the workshop and seminars below and let us know if there's a trainer you'd like to us to invite for a seminar or a topic for a workshop we should cover.
