HiQ Border Collies

HiQ Puppies Disc Dog Workshop

This workshop is an introduction to the sport of disc dog.  We will be starting with the basics and working up to competition level.

This workshop is only open to HiQ dogs

Please bring a chair for yourselves and a crate for your dog.  We will have a pool to cool the dogs in if it is a warm day.  All dogs must be on leash at all times, unless told otherwise.  We will be working outside so please come prepared for all weather possibilities.  If the weather is very challenging we will be in the arena.  Outdoors, masks will not be required, indoors we recommend wearing masks except when working your dog.  If you or your dog is not feeling well on the day of the workshop please let us know and stay home.  All barking must be kept to an absolute minimum as we do have neighbours.

We look forward to seeing you all. 

Please bring your cameras and videoing is encouraged,
