Workshops
Saturday 4/11/26 - 9:30am - 11:30am - The Other Side of Agility with Christina Turner
Does your dog struggle to pay attention ring side, get set up, or keep their focus on you? This Workshop is all about the other skills needed to successfully compete in agility! We will work on ring side behaviors, waiting in line, keeping your dog engaged when entering the ring and setting up, and fine tuning your ring routine. Open to dogs of any level - dogs already competing looking to improve their experience, or dogs not yet competing but looking to start off on the right paw!
Saturday 5/2/26 - 10:00am - 12:00pm - Front and Blind Crosses with Christina Turner
Do you know you want to cross in front of your dog, but end up twirling and maybe aren't sure how you are meant to end up? This workshop will focus on breaking down the Front Cross and Blind Cross. We will cover the differences, similarities, and explore which one is the better option. Dogs should be able to sequence 8-10 obstacles.
Friday 5/8/26 6:00pm - 8:00pm - But The Dog Walk Is In My Way with Christina Turner
We are seeing more and more course designs with tunnels under the dog walk! This not only requires the handler to layer the dog walk, but requires the dog's independent understanding of finding the tunnels and the obstacles after them. This workshop is all about tunnels under the dog walk and a forced layer of the dog walk! We will work on breaking down the skills for various scenarios and proof your dog's understanding of the skills.
Sunday 5/17/26 - 10:00am - 12:00pm - Forward Commitment with Christina Turner
If you find yourself trying to run straight lines and your dog is more focused on you than the obstacles, this workshop is for you! This workshop will focus on teaching dogs to send ahead and sequence straight lines! We will use backchaining and forward targeting to teach your dog to run straight. Open to any level - dogs still learning to sequence or dogs who just need to work on more forward focus! Just jumps and tunnels will be used
Friday 5/22/26 - 10:00am - 12:00pm - Understanding Extension and Collection with Christina Turner
Jump into great course analysis! This workshop will focus on the difference between extension and collection. Handlers will learn how to best cue collection, how their motion affects their dog, and where these cues are needed to be used effectively. Dogs should be able to sequence 8-10 obstacles and proficient on all obstacles.
Tuesday 5/26/26 - The Pickle Cup! 10:00am or 5:30pm!
A new cup has been added to the TurnDogs schedule and this one is very near and dear to my heart. Over the summer I lost "Rhyze" (Who's nickname was Pickle!) a once in a lifetime dog. This May will be there first time his birthday passes and he isn't here to celebrate it with me. He loved nothing more than hanging with his friends, running agility, and eating snacks!
Similar to other cups, "The Pickle Cup" will consist of two rounds. Levels will be broken up between dogs who have competed before and dogs who are newer to agility. Courses will consist of jumps, tunnels and A-frame. Both rounds will be scored together and overall individual prizes will be awarded.
NEW - In honor of Rhyze's favorite agility event - there will be an OPTIONAL Team competition! Grab a partner and join as a "team". Dog's will still run individually but your scores will be combined with your partners for added fun and prizes! (Partners can be decided before the walk thru at the event)
There will also be a raffle to benefit AKC's Canine Health Foundation for Canine Cancer.
