PVybe Florida Disc Dog Camp - 12/28/12-12/31/12 - Dade City, FL

Where: One Drop Aussie Ranch Dade City, FL

Kat and Jack Fahle’s Place

We have two large fully fenced fields both large enough for disc play, camping, bonfire, etc. Plenty of space to camp, tent, sit in the shade or the sun (depending on weather). We will likely get a porta potty if we have any overnight campers… may get one even if we don’t for day time campers (just to reduce the flow of traffic in and out of the house – depends on Ruckus’ health at the time and how much stress he can take).

What: Disc Dog Camp

When: 12/28/12-12/31/12 from 9 a.m. til at least 5 p.m

This is an approximate schedule. There is no “FlatworkFlatwork is the stuff that happens between the catches. How the team moves and transitions, often without the disc, is flatwork. Flatwork concepts in disc dog are taken from the agility and herding... Day”, or “Throwing Day”this is just our usual flow. Each day features all of these elements and builds towards full usage by the end of camp. It is almost impossible for us to create a rock solid schedule.
