| NEW!!! Course Analysis Workshop NEW!!! Presented by Katie Oilschlager TBA $30.00 per person (NO DOGS) The Course Analysis Workshop is for agility handlers that would like to learn more about Greg Derrett's Handling System. Our goal is to provide both new and experienced handlers with insight into making the best handling choices for directing their dogs through actual agility courses. We will explain and discuss various elements that influence handling strategy. These include the dog's path, the dog’s stride (including landing and take-off points), where turns occur, the planes of obstacles, positional cues, and what your handling options are. These considerations will help your team maneuver through the course more confidently and efficiently. You will leave this workshop with a handling reference booklet and a clear plan to follow when planning to execute your next course or sequence.
