April CKC Tracking Seminar

I am so happy to announce that Lynda Caughlin of Fionavar K9s Agility has asked me to give a CKC Tracking Seminar on April 24-25. It will take place near Olds which is conveniently located between Calgary and Edmonton. I offered to mention it to those who have emailed me, and to the two tracking lists as she is not a member. I am sure most you are familiar with Lynda through her Agility classes and accomplishments - http://fioanvark9s.blogspot.com/

The seminar will focus on CKC (and AKC) style tracking and is suitable for beginners wishing to get started in tracking as well as those wishing to progress to urban or brush up on rules and regs governing CKC tests. There will be both field and urban components, including plotting, track laying, article placement, handling, equipment and tips. If you are starting to think about tracking this spring, this seminar can help you get started. For people with some tracking experience, it will provide some tips for training, trial preparation and handling in CKC tests at all levels.

There will be limited working spots and audit spots. The seminar will be a combination of working the dogs, exercises for people such as handling, plotting, mapping and track laying and some theory and info presented in an indoor class-type setting.
