Dog Sport Foundations
February 7th & 8th, 2026
Drive. What does it mean? How do we build and capture it?
This combo of Seminar & Workshop format is inspired by the daily work I do with sport and working dog handlers across various disciplines.
Solving problems in Drive and Motivation to enhance your dogs training and routines. This event is great for all disciplines from protection dog sports, competitive obedience, and detection dogs.
Day 1 will be a seminar format to present specific information and work on specific exercises and skill sets that will get implemented into your training to help build your foundation, or repair areas of weak foundation. These methods can also be applied to solving larger problems for dogs that are already practicing finished behaviors.
Day 2 will be Workshop style where we will take a look at very specific areas of training or problem solving for the working spots.
