Welcome to High Octane Agility
High Octane Agility was established by Maureen and Dan Burke in the Spring of 2006 to provide our fellow agility enthusiasts with a training facility that provides quality instruction for all levels of agility training. Located in Telford, PA we are conveniently located near the PA Turnpike and Rt. 309.
News!
Summer
Class Schedule
With our spring
classes coming to a close, High Octane has decided to offer mini 1 or 2 night
seminars throughout the summer.
How to have the best party with your dog.
Does your dog sniff in class or at trials when you know there
has been no food dropped? Disconnect from you for no apparent reason? Avoid certain obstacles? Generally not look happy about running a sequence or course?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, this class will help you identify what’s stressing your dog and give you ideas to help alleviate that stress
and make it a very happy, exciting experience.
Date: July 2nd & 9th
Instructor: Stacey Manzo
Time: 7pm-8:15pm
Come out and Play
Looking for a night where you and your four-legged friend can just come out
and play? We’ll have games for dog/handler teams to play as well as teams of multiple dog/handlers competing against the other teams to win prizes and just all
around have fun. Think tic-tac-toe; relay races, bobbing for hot dogs and more!
Date: August 11th
Instructor: Stacey Manzo
Time: 7pm-8:15pm
World of Weaving
Is your dog "almost"
weaving in poles with wires on? Are you dying to see what/if your dog can weave without the wires? Come work with Dan & Sean on removing those wires while
continuing to have your dog drive through the weave poles.!
Date: July 16th
Instructors: Dan Burke & Sean Carey
Time: 7pm-8:15pm
The Joy of Jumping
You know your dog knows
how to get over the bar, but is he comfortable? Does he know where to take off? Where to land? Is he comfortable jumping at angles?
Susan Salo is an expert with teaching dogs and horses to jump. Maureen will teach your dog where they should be comfortable jumping. This class utilizes Susan Salo’s
jump grids and her expertise. Maureen has taken a jumping seminar with Susan and has also studied the grids from the DVD put out by Susan. Come and help your dog
want to jump the best he can!
Date: July 23rd & July 30th
Instructors: Maureen Burke
Time: 7pm-8:15pm
Get Fancy with your Flatwork
Introduce another fun way to train with your dog. Take out all the obstacles and learn to stay connected while dog goes from heel
position, out and then back again! Class will focus on shadow handling, working inside and outside circles, recall to heel exercises with a jump and crossing your
dog on the flat. Be prepared for much discussion and practice both with and without your dog. Please bring a crate to put your dog in while we work. Dogs must be
quiet if they are crated near or in the working area. Jen has worked flatwork with all her dogs. Learn how and what to do at a trial with the practice jump!
Date: August 19th
Instructors: Jen Shipley
Time: 7pm-8:15pm
Walking the Course
This three week seminar will discuss possible ways to walk a novice/open level course. We will decide together which path is best for
your dog, where to collect your dog and where to cross your dog. We will also discuss how to handle your dog (or you!) incurring faults in the ring. This will focus
on how to continue in the ring and keep your dog HAPPY, even if you don’t qualify.
Date: August 6th, 13th & 20th
Instructors: Maureen Burke
Time: 7pm-8:15pm
GET OUT! with discriminations
Is your dog having trouble deciphering which obstacle you are asking for when it is a discrimination? How strong is your "out" command?
Come and learn an easy way to teach your dog discrimination language! We will work on the common contact/tunnel discriminations and we will also address using the
"out" command in other sequences.
Date: August 18th & 25th
Instructors: Sharon Carey & Maureen Burke
Time: 7pm-8:15pm
Contact Maureen for more information regarding our training program and special seminars.
