Jen Pinder & Mary Ellen Barry Workshops
April 2009
Rachel,
Wanted to thank you again for hosting the workshop. I learned soo much, just finished watching the tape of us and listening again to the feedback from Mary and Jen… They both seemed to really enjoy Kollee. She is a lot of dog. I was ready to give up on her when I first came to you, a year ago. I’m so glad that I didn’t. We are having so much fun!! Now we need to work on her motion discrimination to prevent her from cutting ahead of me and ooh so many other things to continue working on.
Please tell Jen and Mary Ellen thank you again.

“Very fun workshops up at Rachel’s today! I’ve never worked with Mary Ellen before and have only worked with Jen a couple times before. Both were very fun. The workshops really flowed into each other, because of similar philosophy.”

Linda Mecklenburg Foundation Seminar
January 2008
Despite it being put together on very short notice, the Linda Mecklenburg Foundation Seminar was very successful and well attended. It was a great opportunity for people to see her handling concepts firsthand and benefit from her vast knowledge and critical eye for detail.
Linda spent a great deal of time with each person, helping them with the subtleties of her methods until the handlers grasped the concepts. Linda is helpful, upbeat and her humor puts people at ease. For many people, this was the first time they have worked with her and it is always nice to be able to put firsthand experience with the written articles she has produced through Clean Run Magazine.
In addition, Linda attended the San Diego show in Chula Vista in order to put “some miles” on her young dog Super, and again watched and gave advice to many of the attendees from the seminar. I personally want to thank her for coming to California and working with us all.

Spring Workshops
April 2007
Fast Forward Dog Sports hosted Jen Pinder for a series of workshops in April 2007. Jen joined Rachel Sanders in instructing for these 1/2 day workshops.
The workshops were very popular and filled immediately. Due to the high demand, three additional days were added to the original two days to accommodate as many teams as possible.
The workshops were a huge success and future events are eagerly anticipated.
