7pm – Intro to Handling

In this class students will begin learning the foundations and basics of agility handling to effectively navigate their dog around a course. They will learn about the 7 types of queues that we give dogs as well as their level of importance to the dog.  Students will begin learning handling moves like front crosses, rear crosses, blind crosses, etc.  Students will learn this while doing small sequences to illustrate the concepts being taught.  Dogs should be able to be worked off leash and have some foundational agility training.
