Class Goals:

The purpose of these classes is to help the dog and handler begin to run full courses as a team. More advanced handling, including reverse flow pivots, serpentines, wraps, and threadles will be taught. Coaching will focus on handler body position and cues needed for standard courses. This class can and should be repeated as needed until dog reaches class goals. Rotating Class Outline – A Different set of exercises will be used each session. This class is held outdoors in our covered Sprint Turf arena. Note: This is a workshop style course, so dogs will be crated while handlers learn theory or walk the course. Please bring your own crate if you prefer. A limited number of crates are available for use.
