Description: The best handlers often win before they step to the start line. This unique seminar teaches competitors how to analyze courses, identify critical decision points, predict dog lines, and develop handling strategies tailored to their individual dog. Handlers will walk and dissect multiple sequences, discuss handling options, then test those decisions on course to discover what works—and why.

Topics Covered:

  • Identifying the true challenges on course
  • Predicting dog lines and path commitment
  • Choosing the best handling options
  • Developing contingency plans
  • Matching strategy to your dog’s strengths
  • Avoiding common course-walking mistakes

Prerequisites: Dogs should be sequencing 10–15 obstacles comfortably. This workshop is suitable for Open, Masters, UKI Senior, ISC, and International-level teams. Handlers should have experience running full courses in competition.
