It's A Wrap

Agility Workshop with Kristie


Let’s work on jump wraps! 

We will do some individual practice sets, then work with sequences focusing on wraps.  

We’ll include the “normal” front wrap, wraps from the backside, and a couple of different reverse wraps. 

This will give you the opportunity to see which wraps work well for you and your pup, and

which ones might need a bit of practice.


Previous agility experience is required.
