Let’s Focus on Friday!
Cross / Side Change Palooza!
October 2, 2026 :: 6-9pm :: Pets Behave, Niceville, Florida
Presented by Lisa Graham
This workshop is designed to help you and your dog work through many of the most commonly seen cue combinations on agility courses today. Borrowing from Linda Mecklenburg’s “Skills Drills” sequences, as well as sequences designed by Daisy Peel, you’ll be challenged to perform a variety of “cue combinations” which will help prepare you for the upcoming Agility season.
Short, 6-8 obstacle drills help each team really work through specific skills. We will set up a small course using a tunnel and some jumps and then work through several drills that will allow each team to try different handling options for common sequences. Workshop participants can choose which options they would like to work on or try: front cross, rear cross, blind cross, landing side blind crosses, ketchker turns … some you might use all the time, some you can try for the first time.
For each drill, you will be directed to perform a specific skill or combination of skills and you can then run again with a cross you might normally do. Which cross works the best? Sequences are short so participants will have several opportunities to finesse each cross.
Novice dogs and handlers will learn new skills and Masters level handlers will be encouraged to step outside their comfort zone. This is one of my favorite group of drills.
