Disc Dog Seminar

8am-12 Novice Dog and Handler teams 

1pm-5pm Intermediate Dog and Handler teams

 

10 working teams for each seminar

Unlimited auditors for each seminar

 

8am-12  Novice dogs and handlers.  In this seminar we will teach you to throw and your dog to catch a Frisbee safely.  Some of the things that will be covered include developing drive using Frisbee tugging and rollers.  Handlers will be taught proper wrist flips and rollers as well as the fundamentals of longer tosses.  Dogs will catch short and medium throws and progress to long throws.  Handlers will be taught long throws and targetingDogs in this group need not be able to catch the Frisbee but they should have some desire to chase after it.

1pm-5  Intermediate dogs and handlers.  In this seminar we will work on throwing for distance and accuracy with emphasis on throwing for safety.  We will cover the fundamentals of 'Distance and Accuracy' and 'Bullseye.'  Things that will be covered in this seminar are throwing, targeting, and placement as well as tilt and stall. We will play 'Distance and Accuracy' and a game of  'Bullseye'. 
Dogs in this group need to be able to catch the Frisbee from close and from a little bit of a distance.

 

$65 for member dog and handler teams

$70 for non-member dog and handler teams

$40 for auditors (who can participate in the learn how to throw a disc portion of the workshop)

 

Each team and auditors will receive a competition disc included with their entry fee.  Other discs will be available for purchase at the seminar, Softflites, Jawz and cloth discs.

 

Please bring any discs that you currently use with your dog on the day of the seminar.  Marty will also go over the different types of discs available to use with your dog.

The goals of these seminars are to teach the participant to comfortably throw a disc to their dog and teach their dog to catch it.  Using a step by step throwing program we will teach the human members of the team to throw consistently and accurately.  By the end of the seminar we will have reviewed a program that will enable you to enjoy a friendly catch and play some really neat games with you best friend.

 

Marty Levy has been competing with Frisbee dogs for 14 years.  His Border Collies, Nan, Penny, Sally and Mollie have won numerous awards in the sport. Nan and Penny frequently demonstrate the sport and Nan is presently fine tuning her freestyle routines. Marty also competes in agility with those same border collies.

 

He is a professor of human orthopaedics and spends much of his time teaching orthopaedic residents using the success based models that we use teaching our dogs.

 

Marty also has contributed to Clean Run magazine, writing articles on issues of injury to dogs participating in agility and evaluations of competition seesaws.  He has a good slant on what makes a dog succeed, physically and mentally; and humans too.  He can teach anyone to throw a Frisbee.

 

He lives in Westchester, with his wife, his pack of border collies and occasionally a visit from his son, who is out west in college.

November 20 and 21, 2010

Control Unleashed with Leslie McDevitt

Limited to 8 working spots and unlimited auditing spots

 

Saturday session 3pm-8pm

Sunday session 9am – 2pm

 

Dogs Eligible to Work in the Seminar

Candidates for this seminar include people and dogs that are trying to train for a competitive dog sport but are not getting as far as they would like because of focus-, over arousal-, or stress-related problems. Only dogs with “lowend” problem behaviors will be considered for a working spot in this seminar:

 

  • Dog gets sniffy (very often but not always a stress-displacement activity)

  • Dog wanders away on course

  • Dog is environmentally oriented out of mild concern or normal behavior (knowing which is important)

  • Dog’s mind drifts off easily

  • Dog listens to his handler but his body language continually shows that he feels stress

  • Dog barks and/or pulls and lunges at dogs and objects he is uncertain about but can be interrupted before having a reactive response or he recovers quickly from a response and continues working

  • Dog is mildly responsive to sudden environmental changes (such as a falling chair or a person entering the far end of the room) but recovers quickly. In addition,. you may only work one dog for the weekend; you cannot rotate multiple dogs in the exercises as doing so would change the dynamics of the working group. In addition, the exercises are progressive.

  • Your dog must be crate trained and used to being crated in a group environment (in an 8 foot proximity of other dogs) without whining or barking.

 

 

Dogs NOT Eligible to Work in the Seminar

If your dog displays “high-end” behaviors, you may sign up to audit the seminar without a dog or you may sign up for a private lesson. Your dog cannot participate in the seminar if:

 

• Dog is hyper vigilant (can't stop scanning and worrying about everything in his environment) and is

extremely responsive to sudden environmental changes

 • Dog has low arousal threshold (as in a "hair-trigger dog" that is always ready to go off)

 • Dog cannot easily or quickly recover from a stressful event (she gives an example in the book)

 • Dog barks almost nonstop and pulls/lunges so forcefully at dogs or unfamiliar objects that his handler is in danger of dropping his leash, being pulled off her feet or being injured

  

Fees

• $250 for working dog non member of Doggie U

  • $225 for working dog Doggie U member

 • $60 a day auditor non member / $55 a day members of Doggie U

 

Evening snacks on Saturday, Sunday lunch will be provided.

 

IMPORTANT: Please be aware that registration for working spots will NOT be on a first-come, first-served basis. Rather, we will be selecting dog and handler teams to participate based on the dog’s training problems as well as the dog’s ability to work in the group seminar environment.
