BEGINNING TRACKING WORKSHOP
Sponsored by: Treffpunkt Schutzhund Verein
October 23rd at 5:30pm at South Pointe Park in El Paso, IL
Whether you are interested in earning an AKC/SchH/IPO title or just want something fun to do with your dog, this workshop can get you started in tracking. Each workshop will combine theory and practice on how to train motivationally, so bring a very hungry dog or puppy and its favorite (soft) treats! The workshop will address how to lay tracks, read your dog, handle the line, and plan training sessions. One workshop will get you started and give you a basic understanding of the challenges in training an accurate tracking dog.
Anne Rammelsberg has trained two different Dobermans from puppies to UDC National Tracking Trial Champions. Her current sport dog is the 2003 UDC National Tracking Trial Champion, has an FH1, has earned a 99/100 in SchH3 tracking, and is training for FH2. At 5 months, her Belgian Malinois puppy is negotiating tracks with changes in cover, turns, and articles. She has guided many individuals in using motivational methods for training dogs. Anne is an Associate Professor in Chemistry at Millikin University.
NOTE: Entry is limited to 10 working dogs. Working spots will be assigned on a first paid basis. Tracking will take place under park lighting.
IMPORTANT: Dogs should be on leash at all times. You will be expected to pick up after your pet, so be prepared. Don’t forget to bring water.
