I don't think I can go wrong with this seminar but am just curious because from my very rudimentary knowledge of agility I don't see the differences.
I am trying to get in gear for puppy coming up in 2017-8 
Any thoughts?

I adore Ann Braue! I have had a working spot in her puppy seminar...fabulous experience! came home loaded with useful stuff to do that gave my dog an awesome foundation...and have audited some of her other seminars. My agility club also brought her in to give us an instructor seminar.
I have a close friend...a top notch instructor herself...who consistently wins her very competitive classes with her BCs and who used to take regular privates with Ann. Now she catches Ann when she can...Ann moved to FL but she does come back to WI.
Ann has the unique ability to help any type of dog, not just the fast, drivey dogs. Her approach is a mix of Susan Garrett and Linda Mecklenburg. She teaches obstacles ala Garrett and handling ala Mecklenburg. With some twists of her own. Ann is a retired teacher so not only does she have excellent dog training/handling skills but she actually knows how to teach people. She is hands down one of my very favorite seminar presenters. Plus she is a real sweetheart.
I would audit that puppy seminar and try to get a working spot in her puppy seminar once you get your new baby. I am guessing you'll be hooked after you audit her.
