TUESDAY $140.00 /day before April 1!!
8am-12pm CUE to Q
Learn how to “Cue” your dog on course and get a “Q”! This high-density class focuses on breaking down cues and sequences that make up any agility course. Sequences range from the basic crosses (Front Cross and Rear Cross) to advanced handling moves such as threadles, serpentines, and 270’s. All sequences will be broken down to a level suitable for beginning agility teams. However, the focus on technical aspects of handling will benefit advanced handlers as well!
A consistent set of cues is the key to a confident dog; and a confident dog is the key to a speedy and qualifying performance!
Contact obstacles and weaves will not be addressed in this class. (Debby) $80

From there, they will learn how to modify concepts and techniques to create and maintain an awesome balance in training!
