Jenn Crank Agility Seminar

We are thrilled to have Jenn Crank scheduled to give an agility handling seminar at Lucky Dog on Friday, January 27th through Sunday, January 29, 2012.

Jenn's popularity as a seminar presenter has grown due to her ability to break things down for students and explain and clarify concepts. She has an excellent eye and is able to pinpoint simple training exercises for handlers to work on at home to improve coursework.

All three days will be geared towards improving your handling skills. A handling system is a consistent form of communication between the handler and dog. For success on today’s courses, it is critical that your dog know exactly what is expected of him based on the cues you give as a handler. It is also important for the handler to understand the cues he or she is delivering (sometimes unintentionally) to the dog.

We have room for 10 working teams on each day and an unlimited number of auditing spots. Lunch is on your own.

Fundamental Success.
Friday, January 27, 2012 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Jenn will be sure you have the core fundamentals necessary to handle your team with precision and improve your dog's understanding of your cues on course. This day is perfect for those just beginning to sequence, and also for those that need to build a better, stronger foundation. Ideal for the novice handler, or if you have an advanced dog in need of some remedial work, you will improve your skills as a communicator and handler so your dog will know exactly what is expected of him or her on course. This creates a more confident dog and effective team. Space for only 10 teams and unlimited auditors. REGISTER! (Only auditing spots are left)

Mastering Handling Skills, Part 1.
Saturday, January 28, 2011 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Have you ever missed a “Q” because your timing was off? Handling can be one of the most difficult components of agility training to perfect. Jenn will be able to improve your handling skills no matter if you are in the highest levels of Excellent B, or are competing in Open. You will learn to navigate your team smoothly and efficiently and with greater handling skill so your dog will run cleaner and faster. Space for only 10 teams (must be in Open or Excellent) and unlimited auditors. REGISTER!

Mastering Handling Skills, Part 2.
Sunday, January 29, 2012 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Lots of challenging sequences and more great ways to handle your Excellent or Open dog. Jenn will cover additional handling skills to improve communication, timing, speed and get more clean runs! You do not have to have done Part 1 to benefit from Part 2, but it will for sure give you a broader range of skills. Space for only 10 teams (must be in Open or Excellent) and unlimited auditors. REGISTER!

Fees:
$160 per day for a working spot
$295 for two working days
$435 for all three days
$65 per day to audit

There is no additional discount for bringing multiple dogs from the same family. If you want to handle more than one dog, you may switch off and run a different dog for each different exercise (one dog per exercise).

Registration: Click any REGISTER! button to sign up for any combination of days. Hurry, space is limited to give everyone more time to learn and practice.

More About Jenn Crank
I had the opportunity to train with Jenn and she is really incredible. She offered wonderful insights into each dog's performance and was very knowledgable, patient, and had a clear communication skills. Here is some information about Jenn's background.

Jennifer Crank is the owner and founder of IncrediPAWS Dog Training in Reynoldsburg, Ohio (east of Columbus). Jenn began training and showing dogs at the age of five. At seven, she earned her first agility title with the family sheltie. In 1993 Jenn got her first sheltie Skittles, and earned her first MACH.

Since that time, Jenn's dedicated partnerships with her dogs have taken them to the highest levels of competition. Jenn and her sheltie Guess represented the U.S. at the Agility World Championships in 2004, 2006 and 2007, earning the individual silver medal in 2006 and individual bronze medal in 2007. Jenn and Guess also have numerous placements at AKC and USDAA national championships to their credit.

In 2009 Jenn and another talented sheltie, Blaster, helped bring home a team silver medal at the AKC World Team competition in Austria. In 2011, Jenn & Blaster won a gold medal at the inaugural World Agility Open, held in England. Jenn and Xtreme were named as alternates for this competition as well.

Like Blaster, all of Jenn's dogs hold numerous titles:

* MACH11 APD Sunshine Guess My Name CD, PT, XF, ADT-Bronze, ASD-Bronze, AJD, AGD, AKD (sheltie)

Jenn has been training with her coach and mentor Linda Mecklenburg since 1999, and has been teaching agility since 2002. She uses the Awesome Paws Handling System as a basis for her instruction and training, and stays current on developments in the system through regular private lessons, seminars, and camps.

Jenn graduated from the Ohio State University with a bachelor's degree in Business in December 2009. Through IncrediPAWS Dog Training, she offers instruction in multiple dog sports in group classes, private lessons, and seminars.
