Four Masters Training Sequences - Sept 2025
25 Sep 2025
Here are four sequences from a recent Masters handling workshop I had Agility at the Farm.
I based the layout (and probably some of the first sequence) on a course I saw somewhere but now I can’t find the map/original designer 🤬.
General Training Notes
- Focus on good execution rather than completing a sequence
- Practice all crosses where applicable
- Work from both sides of the line when appropriate
- Update obstacle positions/rotations as needed for each sequence
Sequences
It is important that you update obstacle locations/rotations for each sequence.
As I do at all my workshops, the emphasis is on good execution rather than completing a sequence. Also being able to use all crosses where applicable and handling from various sides of a line where appropriate.
Some handling thoughts:
- 1-2 (except for small dogs) I think turning left at 1 AND 2 gave nicer/faster lines for most teams. Yes this is an ugly opening - but good skills to work.
- 4-5 layer jump 2? Going in worked well too.
- Blind 5-6.
- At 7 can you send to back side of jump instead of tunnel? Students could!
- Dog on left 8-11.
- Many teams could layer weaves and send to 12-13-14 without having to go to the other side of the weaves.
- Layer the tunnel 16-18?
The same general equipment setup was also used in my Short Skills Training Sequences - September 2025.
I hope you give these a try!
