(all levels) 8:30am - 12:00pm Have trouble remembering courses or your handling on course? Learn how to apply Steve's PAWS method to help you "lock in" the course and your handling. In this hands on seminar Steve steps you through PAWS as you apply it to actual courses. He takes you from reading the course map, through analyzing and walking the course, and all the way to the start line. In this seminar you'll learn and practice each step of PAWS and then run through the course to see how it helps. Multiple jumper style courses of different lengths will be worked through and run to help students practice and apply the techniques.

These handling maneuvers are the building blocks for fast, efficient, and smooth handling. This seminar is for you if you can do them but: • You can't always put them in the right place • Your dog sometimes spins the wrong way or pulls off the jump • You're not comfortable performing one or more of them • You ever say "I can't" when you know you could • In this half day seminar for intermediate level teams and above Steve helps you: • Learn where to place them • Choose between them • Clean up your execution • Understand and use your cues For more information contact: [email protected] 417-343-7507 DAAO Registration Form DAAO Presents Steve Schwarz Sunday March 22, 2015 Agility Nerd Seminars You will be considered registered for the seminar upon receipt of your registration form and payment.

Learn how to conquer these challenges by applying the handling techniques your team already possesses. You don't need special skills; just the clear application of cues and crosses already in your toolbox. Steve first helps teams learn the essential challenges of International courses: • Multiple techniques for handling the Back Side of jumps • "Extreme" Jump Wraps • Threadles • Moving past off course obstacles • Once we've learned and practiced those skills you'll move on to applying them in combinations on longer challenging sequences. We'll spend the day immersed in learning and conquering these fun challenges. I love helping teams be comfortable and confident tackling these course elements! • Dog Name______________Jump Height_____Level____________ Hotel and RV Information Private Lesson with Steve Friday March 20, 2014 The following two La Quinta Inn and Suites have a special seminar rate of $89.00: Please contact Carol Baron to schedule a private lesson with Steve on Friday March 20, 2015.
