WCW - What Cross When? (Repeat Seminar - Back By Popular Request)
Tired of wondering what cross to use on course? Tired of watching other people walk or run courses wondering if what you've decided is correct? Still not sure if a cross would "legal" in certain handling systems?? Well then, this seminar is for you! Here in the USA, we tend to fixate on Front Crosses, when often times the Rear Cross is the best in certain situations. What about a Blind Cross? Should your cross be jump side or landing side? More often than not, the best runs are a combination of several crosses when handlers have a clear understanding of "What Cross When"!
Come analyze courses with Debby as she helps you decide what cross will work best for you and your dog - You'll be amazed how all the runs will be different!
This 4 hour seminar is open to all levels of competition - Snacks and Drinks will be provided. (Dogs must be confident on all agility equipment to participate.) Price includes fully illustrated workbook and materials.
COST: $90 per dog/handler team. ($100 per dog/handler team after April 2, 2009.)
