Eligibility & Rules:

Boundless Junior Agility Camp is designed for improving and building on agility skills. This camp is not meant for foundation dog training. Please read through all prerequisites prior to registering for camp. Questions regarding eligibility for camp should be directed to our email.

Prerequisites for Boundless Junior Agility Camp

  • The handler must be a junior handler, which we define as 20 years old and under at the time of camp.

  • All levels will be working on standard and jumping courses. This includes 12-weave poles, dogwalk, teeter, and a-frame. Dogs must be proficient on all obstacles and at least 18 months of age to attend camp.

Reactive Dog and Aggression Policy

The safety of our campers and their dogs is of the utmost importance to us. To enforce these safety policies, aggressive dogs are not permitted at camp. Reactivity is accepted on a case by case basis; please direct any questions or concerns to bjac.juniors@gmail.com.

Multiple Dogs 

Campers are welcome to bring multiple dogs to camp (maximum, 3). If you wish to run multiple dogs each session, you will need to register for multiple spots. If you wish to split your sessions between the dogs, you will need to include each dog on your registration form. (example: Dog’s Name: Jinx/Lime)

Groups

Groups will be limited to 11 campers each. A video must be submitted alongside your registration form, so that we may place you in the appropriate group. When you select your group level, you may request the group you believe is the best fit, but we can not guarantee that you will be placed in this group. If we believe your skills would better fit in a different group, we will communicate this to you via email.

Non-Refundable Deposit

At the time of registration, a $350 deposit is required for BJAC East and $300 deposit is required for BJAC West. Registration will be considered incomplete without a deposit. This deposit secures a working spot for a camper at Boundless Junior Agility Camp and counts towards the total cost. This deposit is non-refundable and will be accepted through Stripe. Once your registration form is received, we will contact you with payment instructions. 

Payment Plans:

BJAC is willing to give approved families an extended period of time to pay their registration fee in portions. A payment plan must be agreed to by both parties and a contract must be signed by both parties.

We reserve the right to deny registration to any camper or dog viewed as unfit, unsafe, or inappropriate for Boundless Junior Agility Camp.

Group Levels

Intermediate: Groovy (Group A)

Great for newer handlers and dogs alike, this group is designed for dogs with sequencing experience including 10+ obstacles. Handlers may still be working on skills such as front cross/blind cross/rear cross, but dogs should be familiar with all agility obstacles. 

Masters: Funky (Group B)

This group is designed for teams with experience training and/or competing at the AKC/USDAA Masters level or UKI Senior/Champion level. Generally, for this level, we prefer teams with at least a year of experience training on full courses.

Intro to International: Boogie (Group C)

Possible JOAWC goals, looking to run more ISC/FCI style courses. Some experience with backsides, threadles and other international techniques. Minimal to some experience with international courses (FCI A1/A2 level).

International: Chic (Group D)

Prior experience training/practicing on international courses, possible JOAWC goals / past team experience. (FCI A2/A3 level). Note: No LAP Dog Handlers permitted in this group.

REGISTER!

Registration opens on December 15th at 9 am PST/12 pm EST. A button will appear when it is officially open.

Campers are required to fill out a registration form that asks for details about themselves and their dog(s). The form takes around ten minutes to complete and requires a payment method for the deposit to be entered before the form will be accepted (the deposit will count towards the total cost of registration). Because BJAC spots often fill up quickly, we recommend being prepared to complete the registration form and having a payment method nearby as soon as the form begins accepting submissions.

We also require a video to be submitted that clearly demonstrates the team’s ability level as it corresponds to the Group they want to register for. For example, a team wishing to be placed in East Camp Group D should demonstrate coursework at the AKC Masters/UKI Senior or Champ/other International handling level, including backsides and threadles . A publicly-available YouTube, Vimeo, or other comparable video sharing platform link should be submitted in the camper’s registration form. If for some reason this link does not work, we will reach out to you via email to request a new link.


​Camp Fees & Registration Dates:

Early Bird: December 15th through 22nd — $650

Regular: December 23rd through March 31st — $700

Late: April 1st until camp — $750

We are using a new registration system, so there are bound to be a few kinks to work out. Please email us if you run into any trouble during registration.

Waitlist:

All registrants who register into a certain group after that group’s ten spots have already been filled will be placed onto a waitlist for that group. We do our best to move campers to the appropriate groups and make space for as many waitlist registrants as possible, but there is no guarantee that all waitlist registrants will get spots. All waitlist registrants will be refunded their deposits if they do not get spots at camp.

Apply for a LAP (Loaner) dog for camp:

For newer handlers whose dogs may not be fully trained yet, we offer the Lend A Paw (LAP) program so that they can still participate in BJAC. Apply via the link in your registration confirmation email.

2024 BJAC East Instruction team

  • Angie has been competing in agility since 2005, starting with a 16-inch rat terrier from a shelter and an 8-inch toy fox terrier.  Angie has gone on to achieve both national and international success with them as well as future dogs, and is now a top agility competitor in both the USA and abroad. She and her mixed breed Sundae made their mark on history when they became the first US team to win Individual Gold at the European Open 2022 in Belgium - and that is just the Cherry On Top of a long history of success!

    Some of Angie’s other notable highlights include: being a 6-time AKC European Open Team member, 5-time AKC National Agility Champion, 2-time AKC Invitational Champion, WAO team member, 8-time UKI US Open event winner, and 3-time IFCS medalist.

    Angie has successfully competed with a variety of breeds and sizes, ranging from 8 to 24 inches, giving her a unique ability to understand the challenges of different dogs. She also has a great eye for details. Being a full-time high school chemistry teacher gives Angie patience and the ability to analyze and break down skills in an understandable manner. It also helps her to recognize and appreciate that every team is unique and comes with different goals. Angie wants to help each team she works with become the best versions of themselves!

  • Peyton fell in love with dog training at a young age, and she spent her childhood training her family dogs, learning from any resource she could find, and volunteering at every local trial. Since then, Peyton has trained and competed in a variety of dog sports including agility, mondioring, herding, obedience, rally, flyball, dock diving, disc dog, and trick dog.  

    While she loves training many sports, running international style agility has become her biggest passion. In recent years she has won and placed in multiple regional and national agility events with her border collie Dash and Belgian malinois Vivid - most recently making podiums with both dogs at European Open Team Tryouts.   

    Peyton has a deep passion for developing drive and engagement in dogs - no dog training is possible without the dog having a strong foundation to want to work for their handler. Peyton credits her learning experiences with a wide array of people in multiple sports with her ability to think creatively about solutions for the learner in front of her. She hopes to always cultivate her students’ love for creating a strong relationship with their dogs.

  • Daisy got hooked on the sport in 1998 when she was still working on her Masters Degree in Math & Science Education. Teaching dog agility has truly brought together her two passions - her love of teaching and love of helping others be the best they can be in the sport of dog agility.

    In addition to teaching in-person seminars all over the world, in 2011 Daisy also started teaching online once she realized just how many more people she could help, regardless of location! Several years later, The Agility Challenge was formed. Through The Agility Challenge, Daisy has helped thousands of agility handlers from all over the world in their dog agility journeys. She continues to teach in-person clinics throughout the United States as time allows, and is a UKI judge.

    Daisy says that most of her memorable successes have come from the accomplishments of her students - nothing brightens her day quite like hearing from a student who has been helped by her feedback and instruction!

  • Dudley has been loving and training dogs of various breeds for over 30 years. While enjoying competitive success in obedience, tracking, hunt tests, and herding, agility is her forte. She has won many National Championships in the USA and Canada, with many different dogs! These wins encompass four different jump heights and three different organizations: AKC, UKI, and USDAA.  Additionally, she and her pups have held over 25 world team positions, and in 2024 she and her border collie Jammy earned the Intermediate Individual Gold and Intermediate Team Gold at the first ever SOAWC event in Belgium.

    Dudley's teaching style and philosophy are similar to her ideas on handling: "I provide choices and stress consistencies. I encourage students to think for themselves and create fluent communication for each pup. My goal as a trainer, competitor, and my pups' best friend, is to create a 'language' while having a great time! I believe in thinking about why things work and practicing with intention so I can let all that go and be totally in the moment when it's time to shine. My pups are my family first and we travel all over the country and overseas enjoying hiking, teaching, and going very fast in the agility ring!" 

    Before "going to the dogs," Dudley was a horse trainer and avid three-day competitor. A love for all creatures and a passion for finding ways to connect is the foundation of her training.
