[AU-006] Speed ‘Em Up! Handling For Motivation

Raise your hand if you have watched your dog run fast across your yard, but yet they walk or trot through an agility course. Maybe you have seen them chase after something in the yard and stay engaged, but yet they disengage on course, slow down, start to sniff or worse, go poop in the corner? Maybe everything was going great on course, then there is an error... and you completely lose your dog? Perhaps you have that dog that has amazing runs in the training field, but when you get to a trial, you have a completely different dog? Or what about that dog that trots through the first 15 obstacles, then blasts over the last 3 and out of the ring? How about the dog that you are late on a cross and suddenly they lose motivation?

[AU-008] Front Crosses – Where, When and How

A front cross is not just a turning cue. It is a series of well executed handling plans. Yes – a series! In this seminar, Diane will break down the components of the front cross and will explain in depth where, when, and how to use a front-cross in a sequence. By the end of this course, you will understand the front cross completely and will be able to do them easily and effectively! Diane will also go over when to swap the front cross with a blind cross or rear cross. This course is for anyone who wants to tighten up turns, gain confidence in executing a front-cross, or expand their understanding of how a front-cross can help their dog flow through the course.
