Agility Open Workouts
- Lou Ann O'Malley is coordinator. There is no instructor for the workouts but Lou Ann (and others) will be available to help with training issues or answer questions.
- 6:30-8:30 p.m. each Wednesday.
- Dogs must be working at Intermediate II level to participate.
- Dogs will be given 2 minutes to run the course and/or work on any training issue the handler wants to practice. For instance, if your dog is having trouble with the weaves, you could spend your 2 minutes working weave poles only. Or if your dog can do everything except the teeter at full height, you could run the course and skip the teeter. You could use your 2 minutes to perfect your contacts, or work on sit-stays at the start line, etc.
- Usually there is enough time for each dog to run the course up to 3 times during the workout.
Obedience Open Workouts
- Susan Haupt is coordinator. There is no instructor for the workouts. Susan, Julie Burgin,Liz Drexler, Sue Medberry, Johnnette Ulch, Paula Warner and Michele Hartzler will alternate as your host.

Structured Obedience Open Workouts
- Liz Drexler is the coordinator and instructor for the workouts.
- For a while starting Jan 3, 2012 there will be two sessions each Tuesday.
10:15 am-11:15 am
11:30 am-12:30 pm - First session for dogs with less experience (dogs that have completed HOI) and the second session for dogs with more training. However, if people want to come and train, they should come at the time that is convenient for them.
- Each training session planned to work primarily on obedience skills
— more reliability, problem solving, some new skills. - Since Liz comes in from out of town, it is especially important to check here or with Liz (563-212-3552) during questionable weather.
