The class will run on abbreviated Excellent/Master level Standard and Jumpers with Weaves courses.  The emphasis of this class is forming better handling skills for teams with dogs that are proficient at all obstacles.

Dogs must be trialing at Open level or above or be evaluated by the instructor/training director before signing up for class.
