Wag It! Games Workshop
A New Way to Have Fun with Your Dog
with Carolyn Ross
Saturday, February 18 from 1 - 4 p.m.
This is the newest dog sports competition venue created by Sumac Grant-Johnson of Lincolnville, ME. It incorporates a variety of skills and is geared towards the pet dog owner who is looking for new ways to have fun with their dog. This workshop will focus on learning the skills to compete in:
Shadow Skills - a combination of Rally Obedience, Canine Freestyle, and Canine Good Citizen skills. Dog and handler work through a course as a synchronized team. Exercises include heeling on both the right and left, spins, front crosses, back aways, & pace changes.
Independent Skills – dogs perform a variety of exercises while moving towards, away from, or at a distance from the handler. Exercises include stays, recalls, go to mat, push the light on, jumps, and retrieves.
No Need for Speed Obstacle Skills – Navigating this course does not involve speed but rather the ability to perform challenging obstacles through teamwork. Exercises utilize skateboards, hoops, mini-tunnels, the Step Bridge, the ladder, and cavalettis.
Wag It Games also include Agility, Water Skills, Scent Games, and Ball Skills.
What to bring: Treats, dog, mat or crate if desired for breaks in-between turns, a smile!
Workshop fee: $50
