UPCOMING EVENTS
BELOW IS A DETAILED LIST OF ALL THE UPCOMING EVENTS FOR 2024 (MORE TO BE POSTED SOON)
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY CLASSES
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY GROUP CLASSES
2 CLASS OPTIONS - FOUNDATIONS & PREP
We are thrilled to be offering another round of SR classes in the new year.
There is now 2 classes to choose from.
SR Foundations is our Level 1 class to learn all the pieces that put together the SR test material.
SR PREP class is our Level 2 class that can be taken AFTER foundations are completed.
Class Details -
Please be sure to bring your dogs hungry to class, or if your dog isn't crazy about food, bring really high value treats/ their favorite toy.
This class involves a fair amount of group participation so be aware you will be aiding other teams in their class activities.
All dogs must come on secure training equipment, for the class you wear what works best for you and your dog.
Dogs are required to be crated or secured in your vehicles between turns.
Dogs are not worked together unless we are working on specific things. The class is 2 hours long so prepare to be here for the duration of that time.
Teams get rotated and we do a lot of work without dogs while we learn the ropes.
No dogs meet on leash for any reason and this is not the place to ask to pet anyones dog. In fact the first part of the SR is dogs learning to ignore people so its valuable to just use that as the standard all around!
We live stream to our private SR Community group each class to have as after class reference and so you can catch up if you cannot make it to a class or the weather prevents travel that day for you.
Weekly homework is required to be uploaded in our group so your trainer can continue to assist you in your techniques. This group is already filled with step by step tutorials to reference while you are learning also. We are all about setting people up for success!

JAY JACK
JAY JACK - PLAY AS THE WAY
WE ARE THRILLED TO WELCOME BACK GRC DOG-SPORTS CREATER JAY JACK TO HOST HIS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER “PLAY AS THE WAY” SEMINAR!
DATE: JUNE 13-15 2025
LOCATION: Condor, Alberta, Canada
GRC Dogsports is a new breed of dog sport and we are proud to say we at CHAOS CANINE COMPANY are the first club of its kind in Alberta!
It seeks to celebrate and test not only the dog’s gameness (G), but the relationship (R) with the handler, and the dog’s self control (C). Even though we are doing the drive sports associated with the APBT (American Pit Bull Terrier), we are open to all breeds. The sports we offer competition in are: Treadmill Race Weight Pull Wall Climb Spring Pole
SEMINAR TOPICS
DAY 1
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOUNDATIONS & SR TESTING DAY
This will discuss the concept of using play based training to teach the skills needed for social responsibility. Participants will learn the several novel ways to use food including the Treat Chase Game, and how to use structured Personal Play.
You will learn the Red Light Green Light Game on a retractable leash, as well as Pressure And Release, and a complete system of tactical leash handling skills. The Rub Down to put relaxation on cue will also be covered.
This Seminar should give you all the skills you need to prepare to pass GRC Dogsports Social Responsibility Test if you choose to pursue that goal.
We will be confirming a sanctioned SR Trial for the Friday evening of the weekend! Stay tuned for that confirmation
JUNE 13TH 2025
DAY 2 & 3
SPORTS FOUNDATIONS AND MOCK OR OFFICIAL DRIVE SPORTS TRAILS
We’ll introduce you to the world of GRC Dogsports Drive Sports. There will be work on The basics of Toy Play and Harness Acclimation.
We’ll also introduce the Spring Pole, Wall Climb, Weight Pull, and Mill Races.
You’ll learn how to use indirect rewards. And, learn the difference between Supportive Games and the Competitive Games most people use in training.
These ideas will take your work to the next level even if you don’t want to pursue any actual sport titles.
