SUMMARY:Agility Seminars with Liz Randall
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a weekend of learning and fun with Liz Randall! Liz offering five half-day agility seminars covering everything from short sequences to weaves to international handling. Working spots are $150 members/$180 nonmembers and are limited to 7 per session. No refunds unless we can fill your spot. Audit spots are $30 members/$50 non-members. The lineup for the weekend is below\, followed by full session descriptions and registration information. We hope you can join us! \nFriday\, May 15\n– 5:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.: Short Sequences for Novice/Intermediate Dogs \nSaturday\, May 16\n– 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.: Weaves\n– 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.: Tweenies \nSunday\, May 17\n– 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.: Reinforcement Strategies\n– 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.: International Handling \nShort Sequences for Novice/Intermediate Dogs:\nThis session focuses on simple\, flowing agility sequences designed to build confidence and understanding in novice and intermediate teams. Handlers will work on timing\, reward placement\, and basic handling skills while dogs gain experience staying connected through short\, manageable course patterns. The emphasis is on clarity\, confidence\, and success in a supportive learning environment.\nREGISTER HERE \nWeaves:\nSharpen your dog s weave pole skills with a focus on confident entries\, independence\, and speed. This seminar covers effective drills\, handler timing\, and troubleshooting common issues to help teams build reliable\, competition-ready weaves. Perfect for a variety of skill levels looking to strengthen performance and consistency.\nREGISTER HERE \nTweenies\nIn “tween” dogs\, I am looking for confidence\, focus\, the ability to drive away from the handler “to do the thing\,” and a consistent return to the handler for reinforcement and/or continuing direction. This session is for dogs that are just starting to navigate the individual obstacles and who are learning obstacle cues and commitment. We will focus on building fluency of forward obstacle cues (jumps and tunnels)\, and build out micro-sequences or chains around those skills\, based upon each team’s individual needs.\nREGISTER HERE \nReinforcement Strategies\nThis session is a primer on reinforcement mechanics and clean training. Just because you reward your dog does not mean you are doing it as efficiently and effectively as possible! Understanding the principles behind reinforcement and how to apply those principles effectively in training is the gateway for stronger behaviors and more resilient dogs. We will cover reinforcement delivery\, placement and timing\, marker cues\, clean loops\, and on how to maximize your reward procedures. We will primarily focus on food rewards\, but if dogs work for both food and toys\, we can absolutely work on both systems individually. This session is appropriate for ALL levels of dog-handler teams\, including teams that need help in the “motivation” or “over-arousal” departments.\nREGISTER HERE \nInternational Handling\nTake your handling skills to the next level with a focus on international-style agility sequences. This seminar covers advanced handling techniques. Teams will work through challenging sequences designed to improve timing\, clarity\, and connection between handler and dog\, with an emphasis on strategic course management for Masters and International-level competition.\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\nPhoto credit: Harlow Takes Photos
