Master Challenge

This class is designed for the dog and handler who want to dissect and analyze. Long and short sequences are worked multiple ways to explore what works best for each dog and handler team. Lots of international elements (backsides, threadles, pull-thrus, difficult weave entries, etc.). Focus is on each team’s skill level and pushing boundaries! Multiple options on sequences are discussed. Short sets may be used to develop new skills and eliminate weak areas.

Young Dog with Experienced Handler

This class will focus on building skills for competition. All types of handling will be addressed at a fast pace using experienced handler knowledge. Dogs will jump age-appropriate height. Contacts may be in sequence but at lower heights. Drills/exercises will continue to maintain criteria for contact, weaves and jump proficiency.

We will break down the course as needed focusing on foundation skills that need to be in place to successfully navigate today's upper level courses. Jumps do not need to be at full ​height.  Contacts and weaves will not be included.

Distance Handling

Dogs are taught independent skills on all equipment, including contacts, jumps and weaves. Development of skills needed to work away from the handler for gamble-type courses will be included
