| Workshop | Description | Dates |
| Agility Distraction Proofing | Is your dog tempted by all of the smells, sights, and sounds of a trial environment? Have you ever found yourself thinking “I really need to proof that”…and then you never get around to it? Well, then this workshop is for you! I will give you a simple and fun course to run with your dog. Then I will gradually introduce common (but enticing) distractions. I will make sure your dog does not go over threshold and I will control access to the distraction so your dog is not rewarded by it. Positive reinforcement will be given to your dog for making the right choice — focusing on you and the course. This workshop is open to any dog who is competing in agility or is preparing to compete. Instructor: Michele Godlevski | Available as private lessons. Email Michele to set up. |
| Agility Skills & Drills | If you feel like you have two left feet when you try to do a hande a course, this workshop is for you. Being a former tennis player, I value the concept of practicing drills to perfect mechanical skills. I will set up fun drills for different types of crosses and jump patterns (like serpentines) so that you can perfect your footwork and timing. This workshop is open to any dog who is competing in agility or is preparing to compete. Instructor: Michele Godlevski | Available as private lessons. Email Michele to set up. |

| CPE Agility Games | Would you like to learn how to play Snooker or Jackpot? How about Colors, Wildcard or FullHouse? Let CPE Agility Judge, Lisa Triggs show you how! | Sat 9am-noon 3/7/26 4/4/26 9/5/26 10/17/26 |
| Contrast Training | Do you ever wonder if your dog is actually memorizing the sequence instead of listening to you? Well, we are going to find out in this workshop! We will present and adjust sequences to challenge both your dog’s understanding as well as your handling cues. Challenges can be adjusted based on the team. Instructor: Michele Godlevski | Available as private lessons. Email Michele to set up. |
| Distance Skills | Distance sequences can be very difficult for a dog unless you train them. In this workshop we will give you drills to build distance away from your dog while running agility. This workshop is also good for dogs who need to work on more obstacle focus and less handler focus. This workshop is open to any dog who is competing in agility or is preparing to compete. Instructor: Diana Henry | Tues 6pm 4/21/26 10/6/26 |
| Finding & Running Lines | Work on the most effective way to run your dog thru course challenges. Where to place your front, blind cross or rear cross based on your dog’s needs. Instructor: Diana Henry | Tues 6pm 5/5/26 10/20/26 |

| Outside of the Box Sequences | This workshop will feature some interesting challenges from recent courses. Things like the first jump heading away from the course and toward the exit, handler-restrictions (forced layers), tunnels at odd angles under contacts, weave poles into “nothing”, etc. Come and practice these creative but legal sequences so you and your dog are not taken off guard! Dogs should have completed Obstacle Proficiency Class or its equivalent. Instructor: Michele Godlevski | Available as private lessons. Email Michele to set up. |
| Pitstop / Tunnelers Skills | Handling skills for navigating a Pitstop or Tunnelers course can be very different than the skills needed on a Standard Course. Come join the tunnel fun and improve your crosses! Dogs must be confident with tunnels and handler should know the basic crosses. Instructor: Michele Godlevski | Available as private lessons.
