    ** Coming Soon **

  • Handle Like a Superstar

    ** Coming Soon **

    Ready to take your handling to the next level? In this workshop with a national award-winning agility handler and instructor, we'll focus on mastering critical handling skills with skill-driven progressions designed to accommodate different experience levels.

    Whether you're working on tighter turns, more consistent connection, or better timing for your crosses, this workshop will give you the tools to polish your cues and improve your teamwork in the ring.

    This workshop is limited to 5 participants and there will be both novice and masters course options available to accommodate different levels of participants' experience.

  • Forward Focus vs Handler Focus

    ** Coming Soon **

    Does your young dog constantly look at you?

    Or, at the other end of the spectrum, are they always fixating on their environment instead of engaging with you?

    Designed for younger, less-experienced, or extremely handler-focused dogs, this workshop will cover valuable foundational skills that any future agility teammate needs:

    • Engagement with their handler

    • Ability to look and drive forward, away from their handler

    • Developing and proofing reward marker cues and different levels of reinforcement

    • Impulse control games with toys and/or food

    Prerequisite: 5+ months old
