About the Seminar:
Ready, set, plan ahead! This fun half-day seminar is all about helping you and your dog stay in sync. We’ll play with timing, positioning, and clear expectations to create smoother lines, better communication, and more confident teamwork on course.
Through a variety of handling techniques and different course scenarios, we’ll explore the concept of proactive handling—giving your dog the information they need before they need it. You’ll have opportunities to experiment, problem-solve, and discover how small changes in timing and position can make a big difference.
The goal is to help handlers move beyond reacting in the moment and begin planning and communicating proactively. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of how thoughtful positioning, clear expectations, and well-timed cues create more efficient and connected handling
Whose Job Is It? Building Obstacle Independence
Dates: Saturday, Sept. 26th from 1:30-5:30pm
Cost: $95 – working spot, $25 – auditing spot
Instructor: Beth Hostetter
About the Seminar:
In this fun half-day seminar, we’ll look at who’s responsible for what on an agility course. What’s the dog’s job, and what’s the handler’s job?
We’ll use a variety of exercises and course scenarios to build obstacle independence, set clear expectations, and learn to recognize when your dog has truly committed to an obstacle. When your dog knows their job, you’re free to get moving and be ready for what’s next!
It’s all about creating better teamwork, smoother handling, and a more confident and independent dog.
