What most other trainers won't tell you...

When I started dog agility back in 2005, I was setup for failure and didn't even know it. The training method back then just put food in front of the dog's face to lure them over all the equipment on the first day of class. Why did they do that? Well, getting the dog on the equipment is what agility is all about, isn't it? Wrong!

I discovered how wrong that method was when our performance fell apart at our first competition. I was so frustrated and embarrassed with my dog barely doing any of the obstacles and running amuck. The only way I could get him to perform was by trying to mimic the luring I did in class, which was really hard with him running so fast!

This will probably sound familiar to many of you, because I've had an alarming number of students over the years (and recently!) come to me with the same experience.

The biggest fear most people have before starting agility, is also just that - not being able to do it well, embarrass themselves and feel frustrated. But fear not!

l am going to set you up for success!

I was missing two critical pieces. How to train the obstacles without luring so much and how to show my dog where to go on the course, which is called handling.

Instead of luring my dog with food, I used a training method that allowed my dog to discover for himself what behaviors earned treats. Long story short, that results in a dog that can do all the obstacles by themselves and from a distance!

Body language is a huge factor in how to communicate with a dog and I was completely missing that with my first dog. What I didn't know is pointing at obstacles doesn't work! What comes naturally to us humans is not quite how dogs read our body language. I had to learn how to speak dog!

I want to teach you all of this! But it's just simply too much to tell you right here.

That's why I'm inviting you to join me inside my monthly membership program.

Listen, there is A LOT to learn in agility, more than you can imagine. To illustrate this point I'll share something one of my current students said who started somewhere else (you know, one of those places that just have you lure your dog around). She had this revelation and said, "Wow, I never knew how many details there are to learn for agility! It's so complex!"

It's true, but don't let that scare you!

I will take you through the very beginning foundations all the way through to confidently running full courses with your dog!

There is no other online membership that will teach you everything you need to know and how to train your dog for your entire journey.

I have it all laid out for you. There is no need to worry or wonder if you're doing the right things or what the next step is. All you have to do is simply follow each short training video and you'll be ready for the next step.

I also have some fun ways for you to get personal coaching from me to make sure you're on the right track.

Why should you trust me or this method? I've gone from that first terribly embarrassing experience to competing on the national stage and qualifying to compete at multiple world team tryouts. Imagine getting good enough with your dog to tryout for the Olympics! That's what I was able to do with the methods I'm going to teach you. Even if those aren't your goals, I will make sure you don't suffer the same frustration I did. 'Cuz guess what? Frustration isn't fun at any level.

You have nothing to lose. Our monthly membership is the most affordable way to get started and you can cancel anytime.
