@RINGCRAFT REBELS –
TOP 4 in the UK for the
Training Class of the Year Award!
Welcome to our Scottish Ringcraft Rebels training session …. we are inviting all sizes and breeds along. This session will take place during the SKC championship show weekend following on directly from the Canine First Aid workshop earlier in the day. We envisage that the training will be inside so that we can focus on movement and handling without the distractions of the weather outside. If, however, the Scottish weather has decided to be kind to us, then we do have the opportunity to move outside.
With a maximum of just 8 dogs in the class, (+ 10 spectator places) we’ll look at the tips and tricks you’ll need with stacking, handling, and moving your show dog using only positive, treat and toy based methods. Each dog will have a “station” and while you are waiting for your turn either at the table or in front of your trainer, you will be expected to practice various exercises throughout the session so there is no “dead time”… I get so little opportunity to train with you fabulous people in Scotland that every moment counts. We’ll be looking at the techniques you need to have your dog giving the very best account of himself in the ring and there will be an opportunity for you to ask any specific trouble-shooting questions. Bring your happy face and enthusiastic demeanour – training should be fun and I guarantee you’ll get so much more from your furry companion if you are both loving it! No harsh handling will be permitted.
Who is invited? Anybody already showing or who has undergone a private 121 session with Ringcraft Rebels.
What should I bring? Treats …. lots and lots of different tiny high value yummy treats that your dog will work for.
Should I bring toys? If your dog is toy-driven, then bring his favourite toy as his reward/reinforcer.
Do I need to bring a water bowl? Please bring your own bowl to avoid cross contamination.
Do I need poo bags? Yes, always have poo bags with you (that includes in the actual show ring too) … you just never know when they’ll do it.
What should I wear? Comfortable clothes and shoes that allow you to move at a speed you would in the show ring.
Do I need a chair? If you are attending as a handling team with your dog, we envisage you standing and working throughout the entire session. If you you are attending as a spectator only, or if you feel you will need to sit down during the session, then chairs will be provided for you.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your session to allow your dog a quick sniff and toilet opportunity outside before entering the venue.
Please DO NOT leave any dog unattended in a vehicle if you do not have specific cooling equipment to keep them safe.
Please DO NOT bring any dogs into the venue who aren’t booked to participate on the course
