Leslie Eide DVM CCRT is a veterinarian who specializes in sports medicine, and rehabilitation in her practice The Total Canine. Leslie is not only very experienced in treating performance dogs, but is also an experienced agility competitor. I was lucky enough to work with Leslie while in the US earlier this year on the hands-on portion of my fitness certification. She was also part of the team that diagnosed and treated a gorilla's leg injury earlier this year.
Sarah Stremming is a dog behaviouralist who is well known through her business, The Cognitive Canine. Her blogs, and podcasts are well known in the dog training world and recently taught several well-received courses at the Fenzi Dog Training Academy.
Personally, Sarah's concepts and work have drastically altered not only how I train my dogs, but their home life also.
New Zealand is lucky enough to have these two amazing trainers traveling here in February / March next year.
Here's what's on offer for you!
Worked Up!
This course is all about dog's that are over-stressed, over-aroused and over-adrenalized.... just plain over the top! This course aims to allow your performance dog be in a healthy state of arousal in the show situation. It allows you to learn strategies such as asking if your dog is ready to work, and how to respond if the dog is not. It will address common over arousal issues such as broken start lines, biting at the handler, lack of focus, barking, knocked jumps and more. Taught by Sarah Stremming.
Jumping Gymnastics
This course is co-taught by Sarah and Leslie. Sarah covers the different types of learning and positive reinforcement for correct jumping efforts, with an emphasis on errorless learning procedures. Leslie covers the conditioning exercises that will assist on different phases of jumping.
I think this course, in particular, would be of huge benefit not only to agility competitors but also club instructors. The content covered here would be great for updating class syllabus on how to teach jumping skills. Remember that you can apply to the NZ Dog Agility committee for an Instructor grant to help cover the cost of this course.
Rehab pro's and sports medicine
This one-day seminar is designed to meet the needs of New Zealand rehabilitation professionals, to upskill them and offer insights to working in a sports medicine context. At the moment the day is likely to involve some hands-on assessment and development of treatment plans, and some lecture-style information, but there is room for flexibility to suit participants. This is limited to 20 spots.
This will suit rehab professionals such as rehab vets, physio's, and hydrotherapists but may also be suitable in a auditing context for related professionals such as vet's and vet nurses with an interest in rehab and sports medicine.
This will be taught by Leslie Eide.
