Description: During this 6-week course, the dog will work short sequences, off-leash, to increase the distance the dog is comfortable working away from the handler. Sequences will be set up to work more lateral distance between dog and handler. Sequences will be created also to teach the dog to send ahead of the handler. Purpose is to help the dog become more obstacle-focused while still checking with handler for direction, and for the dog to gain confidence working ahead or lateral to the handler.
