A must-see for all agility competitors, this DVD is an actual seminar presented by Linda Mecklenburg at the Clean Run training facility several years ago. At the time, the seminar was recorded and made available via livestream on the Internet by Eric Larson. This DVD is a copy of the livestream of the seminar. For this reason, the video quality is not the same as it would be in the case of a live recording, and you can expect occasional dropouts in the audio. These issues do not significantly affect the content of the material, which is why we are making this valuable information available on a DVD.

In Introduction to Handling in Agility Linda describes the foundation needed for consistent handling as documented in her highly acclaimed book Developing Handling Skills for Awesome Agility Teams, which discusses both the theoretical knowledge and the fundamental skills that are needed for success in our sport. The seminar provides an overview of Chapter 1, “Cues,” and Chapter 2, “Fundamental Skills,” and includes bonus material with demonstrations of the concepts. References to specific pages in the book have been added as well as diagrams of sequences.

This DVD contains a wealth of information that will benefit all handlers, regardless of their background or skill level.
