At Daytripper Dog Training we teach you how to train your dog. We feel that it’s important for you to develop the skills to teach your dog desired behaviours because, after all, it’s you that lives with your dog. The methods we use are all positive, but don’t confuse that with permissive. Dogs need guidelines and boundaries. Let us help you establish what works best for you and your dog whether it’s your new puppy, your family pet or your canine athlete. |
Our Approved 2010 Trial Dates
September 10 (daytime) STILL ACCEPTING ENTRIES Judges: Lona O'Reilly and Lane White
Instructional Fun Matches
Daytripper Dog Training is offering two upcoming Starters/Advanced Instructional Agility Fun Matches. The dates are:
Sunday, September 5 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm Sunday, September 12 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
$40 per dog/handler team.
If you have not participated in one of our instructional fun matches in the past these are fun matches with a twist. Rather than simply running the course, Lane White, our head instructor and Masters level judge, will walk each course with the participants providing handling suggestions. Participants will then run the course and after their run, each participant will receive input from Lane on how to improve their course run and have the opportunity to implement those changes during another course run. Food and toys are welcome in the ring. This is a great opportunity to work outdoors on grass in a fully fenced and gated ring.
The fun matches will run rain or shine

Daytripper Dog Training is pleased to present 4 Action-Packed Agility Workshops with Tracy Sklenar - September 24, 25 and 26, 2010
For those of you who attended Tracy’s 2009 workshops hosted by Daytripper Dog Training and wanted more and for those of you who didn’t attend and wish you had….. she’s back!!! This is Tracy’s third visit to Daytripper and how could we not have her back for a three-peat when the feedback we’ve received has been nothing short of glowing? It was only midway through 2009’s workshop when attendees started asking if she was coming back in 2010! Tracy’s teaching style is upbeat and motivational, with a dash of humour thrown in to keep things humming. Be prepared to learn lots and have fun while learning. We anticipate this year’s workshops will fill quickly so don’t miss this incredible opportunity. Tracy has competed successfully in agility with a variety of dogs of shapes, sizes and temperaments. Currently, she shares her life with 5 dogs: 2 Dalmatians (11 year old Pierce and 10 year old Samson, both retired from agility), a Rat Terrier (8 year old Rebound) and 2 mixed breeds (4 year old Export and 14 month old Matrix). In the ring, their runs are noted for accuracy, consistency and blazing speed. Besides putting numerous titles on the dogs, Tracy and her canine partners have earned multiple wins and placements at local, Regional and National events.
In 2009, Rebound and Export both enjoyed tremendous success in the ring: Rebound began the year by finishing 5th overall in the Ontario regionals, followed by finishing 8th overall at Canadian Nationals, earning multiple placements along the way. Rebound ran clean and fast in every run at the USDAA World Cynosport Games, earning his way to a 5th place finish in the 2009 Performance Grand Prix finals! She has learned from and is proud to use the methods of Susan Garrett, Greg Derrett, Laura Derrett, Bob Bailey, Susan Salo and Greg Louganis. Check out her website at www.lotp.com Location: This workshop will be held outdoors on grass in a fully fenced and gated regulation size ring and will run rain or shine.
