This eight week class is for people who have completed the Beyond Beginners class and want to compete or are competing. This class covers things you need to know before setting foot in the competition ring and will provide personal attention to help each dog and handler team polish their performance. We work on accurate heeling, fronts and finishes, fast recalls and heavy distractions. We also teach dumbbell work, starting with the take, hold and carry, and start the open exercises. Games in and out of the ring to keep your dog engaged. The AKC regulations, new exercises and ring procedure.
