Gold Country Working Dog Club meets for IGP (IPO formerly Schutzhund) training. Depending on the week, we will focus either on the Fundamentals of Protection taught by Cherie Flores.
We also have helpers come into the facility for seminars and to do advanced protection work. Those dates will be added seperately. You can sign up for the Fundamentals of Protection At the root of all things in the IPO sport is obedience and clarity of drive. The fundamentals can and should be taught in a thoughtful manner. In this class we prepare our dogs to be ready for the helper, but most of the work is done here so that when we have a helper come in, the transition is extremely smooth. Schedule Appointment
You may arrive up 30-60 minutes prior to class to work on your obedience on the field prior to protection.

This is a time to practice using our pool for either swimming or jumping. Your dog MUST be “ramp safe” This time is NOT staffed. You must either have recorded jumps with NADD or any other organization or have facility approval (taken a 101 course typically to show that your dog is ramp safe). This is a safety requirement. We want to be sure that everyone has fun and remains safe on the dock…once your dog is safe, come and practice…and don’t forget to check out our memberships!

Come get involved in the coolest sport around. Whether your dog is an expert swimmer or still needs to learn, this class is where you get started. We will focus on acclimating dogs to pools for those dogs that haven’t seen a pool. Once they are comfortable swimming in the pool, they learn to use the ramp, and then we start on Jumping. Dogs who are already experienced pool swimmers may move more quickly and that’s great! We move at the learning rate of each dog. Class Max size is 5. Dogs are worked individually. No contact between dogs.

2023-07-22 11:00 - 12:30 | Gold Country Pet Resort, 6355 State Hwy 104, Ione, CA, 95640, United States
This class is for dogs that are jumping but the handlers need help forumulating some technique. The dog MUST be easily jumping in the pool and have good toy drive. Initial focus is on the place and send and then when appropriate we begin the chase method. This is also the class to take to start the work for Air Retrieve. We can introduce the concepts to the dog and once they have that, they will move to 301. This class can be repeated and each student will work at the level they are at.
