BASICS OF CONTROL UNLEASHED® WORKSHOP – Saturday, March 13, 2010 In this 3-hour workshop you will learn the basic principles of Control Unleashed®, a program developed by Leslie McDevitt which is designed to help "dogs with issues" learn how to relax, focus, and work off-leash reliably in either stimulating or stressful situations.
Participants are required to bring a crate (if you don't have one, we have a few that can be borrowed), a towel or mat that can be transported easily, a clicker if clicker trained and lots and lots of really yummy treats. To sign up for this workshop, please contact Aimée and fill out the registration form. Instructor: Aimée Surprenant. NOTE: This workshop is not endorsed in any way by Leslie McDevitt and the instructor is not formally trained in Control Unleashed®.

AGILITY WORKSHOP WITH CAROLYN DOCKRILL - Saturday, April 3, 2010 We are pleased to announce that Carolyn Dockrill (AAC Masters judge and competitor) will be coming to Newfoundland to instruct two agility workshop sessions. The morning session will be for more novice dogs/handlers (recent Beginners/Intermediate I graduates). The afternoon session will be for the advanced dogs/handlers (Intermediate II/Advanced graduates). To participate in this session with your dog, it must be competent on all of the agility equipment. If the dog is deemed not competent on the equipment at the time of the workshop or aggressive, then the dog will be excused from the workshop without refund. The handler will be allowed to continue to audit the full day. Registration is now open and is on a first-pay-first-serve basis. It is recommended you contact Aimée to inquire if space is available; however, your spot is not guaranteed until your payment and registration has been received. Non-members may only register as auditors for this workshop. There are only 10 dog participant spots per session, but unlimited auditor spots (i.e., attend the workshop without your dog). Price for participants is $85/3hr session for NADA Members only. This price includes auditing the other session. Price for auditing is $25/3hr session for NADA Members and $40/3hr session for Non-Members. Registration is on a first-pay-first-serve basis. Please complete the registration forms (AGILITY REGISTRATION) and deliver the payment and registration form to the club treasurer. AGILITY WORKSHOP WITH STEPHEN DAHR – Saturday, July 17, 2010 Details coming soon. AGILITY WORKSHOP WITH Rebecca Dunstan – Saturday, August 21, 2010 Details coming soon. AAC REGIONALS AGILITY WORKSHOP WITH RICK WHITING – Saturday, July 17, 2010 Come and learn about AAC Regionals! Rick Whiting is an AAC Masters judge who has successfully competed in Regionals and Nationals for AAC. The AAC Regionals are open to every dog that is registered to AAC – not just the Masters dogs! If you can earn the qualifying score at the Regionals, then you qualify for the AAC Nationals! Regionals include three classes, Standard, Jumpers and Gamblers. While the courses are Masters level, the rules are different to be more inclusive. The strategies and point system is also somewhat different from the usual AAC trials. If you are interested in learning about the Regionals and Nationals (either as a spectator, lover of the sport, or as a potential competitor), then this workshop is the one for you! The workshop will cover the following. In the morning, Rick will do some classroom work on regionals for the scoring and rules, and then we’ll be doing some drill work. In the afternoon, he will do a gamblers seminar and discuss the major differences between regional’s and regular rules, we’ll run a few different gambles, then Rick will wrap up with a review of strategies and general review. We are offering this workshop in order to prepare Newfoundland teams to potentially compete in the 2011 Regionals, and hopefully the 2011 Nationals which will be back in Atlantic Canada (a rare event). Participant spots will be offered first to those teams who intend to compete in the 2011 Regionals. However, those curious about this are welcome to register as auditors, or if space permits as participants.
** NADA Matinees for Members** Screen times Sundays 2:00, doors open at 1:15. Starting Jan. 10 and ending March 28. Admission is $5.00 per person. For more information on location and videos, please email secretary@nfldathleticdog.com.
