Private Coaching Weekends – 2024

Starting this year I will be offering Private Coaching weekends at my training field in Ontario, OR this year. These weekends will be limited to 6 handler/dog teams and will be very personal and focused on the needs of each team. Topics will vary and be dependent on what each team needs 

Because the summer months can get pretty warm here, this will not be a “traditional” 9-4 seminar. We will work for a few hours in the morning, break through the afternoon and work again for a few hours in the evening. My intention is that these weekends will be very low-key and flexible, there won’t be traditional lectures, and drills set up. We will set up exercises for what each person needs, with low-key lectures and discussions throughout each session. More of a training get together with friends, than a structured seminar. 

So there can be varying levels of dogs within the group, different focuses, different goals etc. Each weekend will need to have a minimum of 3 working teams, and max of 6. So this would be a great opportunity to get a group of friends together! Jimmy can probably also be convinced to smoke a brisket one of the evenings as well. 

I have the dates listed below as just Saturday and Sunday, but if the group wanted to add Friday, that can be done also.

Cost for each working team is $100 per day

Priority for these weekends is given to members of the Fluid Motion Coaching Group.

Amanda Nelson is well known for her distance handling skills, and she has been traveling the country and teaching seminars for 20+ years. She has traveled around the world to Australia, Japan, Netherlands, England, Switzerland and the Philippines teaching all levels of agility, with nearly all dog breeds. Amanda focuses on teaching teamwork as well as how to create a strong connection between dog and handler. She works with all styles of handling, from running with your dog to distance handling. Amanda tailors each training session, large or small, to the dog and handler to help bring out the best in the team. Her training techniques consist of a large amounts of targeting, food rewards, and toy rewards. Creating a fun learning environment for the dog encourages a fast, fun, and motivated dog in the agility ring. Amanda uses a combination of Upper Body Cues, Lower Body Cues, and Verbal Cues. This system was derived from the natural cues that most dogs read and pick up quickly. Handlers are taught how to use all of these cues, together, to create a customized handling system that can be tailored to their unique dog. All of these techniques have resulted in Amanda earning numerous titles with her dogs including the MOD SQUAD award, Purple Achievement Cup, and over 40 NADAC Championship titles. She has won the NADAC Championships multiple times, including winning the Super Stakes and Starter Stakes division. She has also been Top Bonus Dog, Top Purple Dog, and Top Dog of the Year several times in NADAC.
