Independent Obstacle Commitment

with Gracie Huffman

  • Novice
  • Intermediate

This workshop focuses on helping dogs confidently commit to obstacles with less handler support. Teams will work on building obstacle focus, clear cues, and follow-through so dogs understand their job and can stay committed even when the handler adds distance, changes position, or moves ahead to prepare for the next part of the course

12:00 PM – 2:30 PM

Building Confidence Away From the Handler

with Gracie Huffman

  • Novice
  • Intermediate
  • Masters

This workshop focuses on helping dogs feel confident working independently while the handler creates distance or moves to the next position. Teams will work on simple sends, obstacle focus, reward placement, and clear support so dogs learn that moving away from the handler is fun, understandable, and rewarding.
