We are very excited to have Kellie Connell coming this weekend to Prunedale. All working spots are full, but there are audit spots available all 3 days. Saturday is her seminar/lecture day, so If you want to check out a fun-filled way (for both you and your dog) to work your dog that yields amazing results, come spend the day and see her in action, ask questions and learn about her philosophiy on training a strong foundation. $55/day.
Kellie is the co-founder of Ikonic Canine with her husband Chris in San Diego, CA. She has a passion for all things competition obedience, as she thinks obedience is the most challenging of partnerships with our dogs due to the fact the dog’s desire to participate is almost entirely man made. She is also dedicated to engagement and discovering what is possible exploring deeper levels of clear communication with dogs, prioritizing their perspective and emotions.
Her first dog Joli, a German Shepherd, competed in AKC with a Novice A High in Trial. Joli was the dog that started her fascination with engagement! Although initially faced with many challenges, Kellie is very grateful for Joli’s contributions to where she is today. Her second dog Ikon, a Belgian Tervuren, is a retired IPO3 (Schutzhund) with multiple ‘v’ obedience scores and an AKC CDX with multiple High in Trials, in addition to winning the 2019 Regional Top Dog Championship (Open division).
Her current competition dog Prima, a Belgian Tervuren, is a two time IGP3 (Schutzhund), has multiple ‘v’ IGP scores, and was the Highest Scoring Female in 2 consecutive national championships! Prima will hopefully become her flagship female for her breeding program, Ikonic Belgians. Kellie also has two young Belgian Tervuren males from the Netherlands that she is looking forward to competing with soon!
