Training challenge for small field by Thomas Berger

Thomas Berger has created these two wonderful courses for small fields! You only need a space of 16x20 metres, and, of course, you can build parts of these courses in an even smaller space.

On these courses, you can test your in/out cues, think of different ways of handling (blind, rear, front crosses) and focus on the slalom entry (including discrimination with another jump) as well.

Training Challenge by Christl Faltner - ‘in’ cue

On this course, I would like to test different skills but mainly have an option to train the ‘in’ cue. On some spots on the course, I also want to test when an ‘in’ would be better and when a double blind cross will keep the speed. When I design courses, I always think about what I want to train, what's hard for me, which solutions I would choose for my large dog (Belgian shepherd) and if I would choose different ones for my small dog (Papillon).
