Gemma is passionate about training, especially agility, and is a truly marvelous instructor. This is a rare opportunity to learn from Gemma. Each mini-workshop is approximately 2 hours long, and is limited to 8 working dog/handler teams but has unlimited auditors! Grab your spot today!
- Mini-Workshop #1 - SequencingWho is the workshop for?
This workshop is suitable for dogs who can complete all the agility equipment independently (they don't have to be foot perfect!).
What will this workshop cover?
We'll be working on sequences you might find in a Novice agility course. Gemma's teaching style is to coach you to improve your handling skills for YOUR unique partnership. Agility dogs come in many different shapes and sizes. Success comes from understanding how to motivate each individual - not following one blueprint for them all.
Why is it helpful to do a workshop like this?
Having fresh eyes on your handling can help improve what you have currently.
Gemma's goal is to leave you inspired and motivated for your next agility adventures!
Workshop is approximately 2 hours long. Limited to 8 working dog/handler teams but unlimited auditors.
Length: 2 hours
Cost: $50 for dog/handler team (limited to 8), $25 for auditors (unlimited)

- Mini-Workshop #2 - Play InjectionToo much or too little in the tank? This workshop is for both dogs who like to live life in the fast lane, AND those who could do with finding their go faster switch! And is this workshop just for sports dogs? Nah!
It's for dogs who need to learn to listen when they're excited - not just when there's nothing else going on. Perfect for dogs who need a little help with their recall!
You'll need to bring:
- Treats (great ones!)
- Toys to bring with you (not something your dog has access to all the time)
- Best training gear for you
You need to be able to MOVE! So come along wearing your best go faster sneakers and put some stripes on those running pants!
What age dog is this workshop suitable for?
Pups from 6 months onwards will love this workshop. Suitable for all top racing models that require special handling to get the best out of them.
Gemma can't wait to share the play injection secrets she's learned from her own dog crew of superstars with you and your dog!
