This class will focus on A-frame, dog walk, teeter, and weave poles. Different obstacles will be highlighted each session and dogs will be able to work at their level of ability from beginning to advanced.
Requirements: Successful completion of Contacts
This class will focus on learning progressively more complex handling skills, working dogs through sequences of 5 to 10 obstacles using jumps and tunnels only.
Prerequisite: Understanding and ability to apply all concepts taught in Foundations.
Do you always end up choosing the same handling options on a course? Would you like to be pushed out of your comfort zone and try different solutions? Learn how to be creative in finding the handling that suits your team. Learn to recognize lines and technique options and to make the best decisions for you and your dog as a team by trying different paths and handling solutions. In this seminar you will be running short sequences and testing different handling options in them. When you know how and where to use your handling tools, you can make reading the course as easy as possible for your dog, and be the best possible teammate for them also in trials!
Level of experience: Well establish teams interested in tightening lines and shaving seconds
