Foundation Seminars
The Foundation Handling Seminar is available as a Video on Demand online.
A must-see for all agility competitors, this pay-per-view production is an actual seminar presented by Linda Mecklenburg at the Clean Run training facility in March 2009, and recorded for web streaming purposes by Agility Vision. Linda describes the fundamentals of her highly acclaimed Awesome Paws Handling System (APHS), discussing both the theoretical knowledge and the basic foundation skills that are needed for success. While the focus of the seminar is understanding and applying AHPS, there is a wealth of information provided that will benefit all handlers regardless of their background.
The six-hour presentation is presented in its entirety. The seminar consists of three sections. It begins with a lecture on handling theory with information on how our dogs naturally read us and respond to our cues. The second section is basic foundation training that is uniquely required by the APHS, but the concepts apply to all dogs. The third section focuses on demonstrations of how to perform various handling challenges using the knowledge and skills discussed in the first part of the seminar with an emphasis on basic motion cues.
For those of you that have been waiting for the opportunity to attend this seminar, this is your chance!
