Nosework Leash Handling Workshop
Are you and your nose work partner always tripping each other up? It’s much more fun to dance together as a team instead of colliding. Come to this 2.5 hour workshop to practice a variety of leash handling skills. This workshop is suitable for teams of all levels, as long as your dog is working on odor. Working spots are limited to 8 for optimal learning from all teams. Dogs must be comfortable being crated inside or confined in the car while other dogs are working.
When: Saturday December 10, 2016 from 10am-12:30pm
Where: Synergy Veterinary Behavior, 2127 NW York St., Portland, OR.
Fee: Working Team: $60 | Auditor (no dog): $30
