Disc Dog Clinic

Barking Hills is delighted to sponsor a clinic with the very popular Camp Barking Hills instructor, Dawn Sullivan.  Dawn is coming down from Massachusetts to give a two hour disc clinic.

Dawn Sullivan:
Owned and operated by 4 dogs, Millie (10yr old Hound/Lab mix), Freddie & Pacie (9yr & 5 yr old Chocolate Miniature Pinschers), and Tweak (14 week old Border Collie). Dawn has competed in, and taught, Flyball for the past 4 years. Red Dawn's Defender, FD, FDX, FDCh, FDCh-S, FDCh-G, FM, FMX (also known as Freddie) is the number 6 Min Pin in the sport of Flyball.

While not competing or training her new pup, you can find Dawn close to home in Methuen, MA playing with her dogs, reading, or with her face 4 inches from the laptop screen doing some kind of web development to help supplement her very large dog food bill. Dawn has been a volunteer at Canine University in MA for the past 9 years, teaching beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes in obedience, puppy obedience classes, flyball, agility, tricks, and workshops on heeling, recalls, and getting your dog to stop jumping (but don't go by her Min Pins on that last one - she likes them to jump!) Dawn has studied a variety of training methods while working Millie through Separation Anxiety, but prefers using a clicker for fast, consistent communication with dogs.

Disc Dog (aka Frisbee) is gaining in popularity in the dog sport world. People can choose between Toss & Fetch, 
Freestyle, Distance/Accuracy, and Time Trial to name a few types of competitions. 

This class will safely introduce your dog to the disc and teach your dog to track it while moving. 
This 2 hour working clinic will cover the basics with additional freestyle tricks and a throwing clinic.

The basics include: teaching your dog to catch, introducing the disc, rolling, flips, and stalling on your back.

You will need to bring a competition grade disc! You can order them from 
Hero Disc USA (http://www.herodiscusa.com) or 
Hyperflite (http://www.hyperflite.com). 
Dawn will also have some available for sale that day.

Space is extremely limited so please register early.
