About the Workshop

Understanding Dogs, One Workshop at a Time

FETCH U is a series of free workshops that cover one topic per month, providing information about our canine companions and how we live with them.

MAY Workshop-FREE, In Person:  Get and Amazing Recall, May 30, 3 to 4 PM

This high value mini-workshop will teach you to develop a recall that works in real life situations.   When your dog comes reliably, you can be confident in off leash situations. Build a fast, reliable response using practical, relationship-based training methods designed to hold up around real-world distractions.

This workshop is taught by Nancy Frensley, Training Manager

Workshop Requirements

This workshop is for people only.  Please do not bring dogs.

 

JUNE Workshop-FREE, ONLINE:  Backyard Champions:  Dog Agility at Home, June 27, 10:00 AM, 60 minutes

Have you ever wanted to try agility with your dog?  Starting agility at home and teaching the moves doesn’t need a big field or lots of equipment.  You can use everyday objects you have on hand or discover during outings with your dog.  Tune in with us to learn the moves as well as how to find, improvise and build equipment.  This work makes your dog more responsive to you in everyday life and provides exercise and fun for your agility team-you and your dog.

Join us on Zoom to learn about how you can participate in both agility and Canine Parkour with your dog.  These activities provide a lot of fun and and an outlet for energy along with challenging your dog with new training.  As your dog masters these exercises, you will see improvement in off leash control.

Workshop Requirements:

You will need  a computer, tablet or phone and a secure internet connection to join the workshop.    We will open the workshop about 10 minutes before it is scheduled to begin.
