Rachel Flatley Seminar for beginning OBEDIENCE handlers
hosted by K-9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville, FL at Club grounds
2638 Powers Ave., Jacksonville
Seminar includes 2 Half-Day Sessions
October 31 and December 4, 2021 8:30 AM
Rachel Flatley is an accomplished trainer, competitor and teacher. Her classes, seminars and lessons with individuals have helped handlers achieve outstanding results. Rachel has earned nearly 300 performance titles on her own dogs (Boston Terriers, a Papillon and Border Collies) as well as titles on a Chinese Crested, a Scottish Terrier and a Corgi. Not only do her dogs perform with accuracy, their enthusiasm for their work is evident. Rachel consistently finishes in the top of her class with multiple dogs (in obedience, she has earned High In Trial awards on 5 different dogs). Rachel started her training school 11 years ago in the Gainesville area. She works full-time training dogs and their people in multiple venues (obedience, agility, rally and freestyle). She has written training articles for nationally circulated magazines as well as a booklet on optimizing practice time and not falling into common training pitfalls. Most recently Rachel has released “Training Meals”. This popular product is a deck of laminated cards containing instructions for mini training sessions for your dog at meal time (or any time).
The first seminar half-day session provides the beginning handler with every tool needed
to teach her dog positions that are important to the sports of obedience, rally and freestyle.
*POSITION ACCURACY THROUGH PLATFORM WORK
*REPLACE NAGGING WITH FUN WAYS TO PRACTICE SKILLS
*BYPASS BAD HABITS
The second seminar half-day session is scheduled after students have practiced the exercises on their own. The second session takes beginners to the next level of handling so they and their dogs advance and continue to develop the skills necessary for success.
15 working spots with unlimited audits (Advance Reservations for Private lessons available after each Seminar)
Training platforms will be used extensively. If you don't have a platform, you may order one custom made for your dog for $25 (confirmation letter will have measuring instructions). Seminar Cost for both days:
Working spot $120 ($100 for club members)
Audits $60 ($50 for club members)
Send registration form (download and print) with check made out to K-9 Obedience Club to Deb Hardman, 189 Summerfield Drive, Ponte Vedra Beach, 32082.
