That performance was amazing! Both the dog and handler looked so confident and proud, as if they owned that performance ring. The clean, clear execution of every movement in the routine is imprinted in my mind forever. I want to be like that handler…

The secret of preparing for performance was clearly understood by this handler. As you work through the ten lessons and homework provided in the Stepping Out: Preparing for Performance Manual, you too can become the handler you’ve always wanted to be! Your dog deserves to walk into the ring with this confident, happy handler.

Although this manual is written for the sport of Canine Freestyle, all of the principles apply to showing dog sports of any kind, including Rally Obedience, Schutzhund, Tracking, Traditional Obedience, Agility, any dog sport where the handler wants to give the team the best chance of success.
