Introduction to RingSport: Brevet & Ring 1 — Bob & Erika Solimini

Join Bob and Erika Solimini of All-American K-9 for a two-day Introduction to RingSport seminar focused on French Ring Brevet and Ring 1. Designed for newcomers, handlers developing young dogs, trainers, decoys, and people forming or building a club. Participants from across the United States and abroad are welcome. Instruction connects the rules, exercises, and foundational training: entering the trial field, handler preparation, obedience, jumps, bitework foundations, targeting, outs and guarding, recalls, and defense-of-handler development. Decoy instruction covers movement, footwork, timing, technique, and communication between handler and decoy. Bob and Erika teach both handlers and decoys, including separate instructional blocks. Bob is a Level III French Ring Decoy and World Championship Decoy. Erika is a multi-time French Ring National Champion. February 13–14, 2027, at IBK9 in Mesa, Arizona. Daily schedule: 8 AM–7 PM, Arizona time, including Q&A. Tuition: $800 per person for the weekend. A 50% non-refundable deposit is due by January 1 to hold your place; the balance is due at the seminar. This is a lecture and demonstration seminar. Only selected dogs will be accepted for working demonstrations, with advance approval.
