Handling 101 / 201
Wednesday 3:30pm
This skills class focuses on basic agility handling techniques to further the foundational education of dog and handler teams. These handling skills are gradually built upon as the agility team matures in their knowledge, competency, and confidence. All agility equipment and a variety of introductory handling will be used as the teams will work on reinforcing skill sets individually and within short sequences, broadening obstacle behaviors while honing their handling.
Prerequisite: Passed Foundations series of classes. All levels are welcome. Dogs should be confident on contact obstacles at full height and have developed the beginnings of contact/targeting behaviors. Dogs should demonstrate an understanding and general competency of all agility obstacles, but don't need to be proficient. Human handlers should understand basic handling practices and theory. Teams should have a positive attitude and regularly practice skills at home.
6-week session, starting September 2026.
