Description

Topic Training – Layering (Set 1)

Strengthen your layering skills in realistic course sequences

In this course, you’ll learn the difference between active and passive layering while discovering how your handling influences your dog’s line. Through carefully designed agility sequences with different handling options, you’ll test your current skills, identify weaknesses, and further develop your handling while improving your timing, communication, and decision-making. This will help both you and your dog become more confident, independent, and consistent on course.

This course is designed for teams who already have the basic foundation for layering and want to strengthen and refine their skills through practical course work.
