12/30/23 Agility Handling Workshop with Susan Cochran

Agility Handling Workshop with Susan Cochran at Radda's K9 Campus (Talking Rock, GA)

This workshop is designed for our Advanced Agility students. Join Susan Cochran, international AKC Agility Coach, as you learn to strategically analyze a course and how to choose the best handling options for your dog. Teams will learn to handle every obstacle while thinking ahead on the course...all in a trial-like environment. Limited working spots are available at both the Novice/Open and Masters levels.

Susan has been competing in agility for over 25 years. She has been on 20+ International Teams representing the USA with four different dogs and in five different heights. Prior to moving to TN she instructed agility in Northern CA. Susan currently coaches AKC EOJ (European Open for Juniors) Team USA.
