About the Seminar:

Handling your dog on an agility course when you are only walking can build great distance skills and obstacle independence. Working at this slower pace teaches you to have clearer cueing for your dog and makes handling the course calmer and less frantic. Clarity of cues helps your dog be more confident in their obstacle commitment and builds confidence and independence in your dog. This class is appropriate from Novice to Master levels- each team will work at their own current level.
