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.

Paula Szatkiewicz –
Ausgesprochen gut gefällt mir das es zur jeder Übung immer ein Demo Video gibt, was immer noch ein bisschen hilft wie Timing und Körpersprache dem Hund richtig zu vermitteln. Die einzelnen Übungen sind schnell aufgebaut und leicht umzusetzen.
Ich selber habe viel in diesem Kurs gelernt zb. was aktives und passives layern im Parcours für uns als Team bedeutet. Uns als Hund Mensch Team hat es so viel mehr weiter gebracht und das obwohl mein Hund zu dem Zeitpunkt 9 Jahre alt war. Also es ist nie zu spät. Kann ich wirklich nur weiterempfehlen.

Ein wirklich super guter Kurs, aus dem ich sehr viel mitgenommen habe!
Besonders gut gefallen hat mir, dass die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten und Wege jeweils mit einem passenden Demo-Video gezeigt wurden. Dadurch wusste man immer genau, worauf man achten soll und wie die jeweilige Übung aufgebaut ist.
Auch der Unterschied zwischen aktivem und passivem Layering wurde sehr verständlich erklärt. Das Setting des Kurses fand ich ebenfalls richtig gut, weil man es problemlos nachstellen und selbst im Training nachbauen kann.
Für mich war der Kurs sehr lehrreich und praxisnah und ich konnte einiges für mein eigenes Training mitnehmen. Ich kann ihn auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!
