Jeannette Hutchison is coming back!!!

2 days of Agility with Jeannette Hutchison

Use of Motion

Saturday June 1
 9-5
Motion is your biggest cue when running agility.  How you use you motion is so important. You need to understand how your motion affects your dog’s extension and collection. When you have motion forward for to long you get wide turns leading to off courses and knocked rails. Wide turns change your dogs line or path to the next sequence of obstacles.  Deceleration from the handler signals collection. If you don’t support the obstacle you want your dog to take as you decelerate he may get a refusal.  How you move, when you move and where you move sends different info to your dog.  This seminar will cover much of the information you need to teach you and your dog to run a fast and efficient course
