Looking for courses to run this weekend? Here are four Masters/International-ish sequences I created for a workshop for an 80x100 space. They use the same equipment setup I posted recently with 7 short skills sequences. Enjoy! agilitynerd.com/blog/agility/c…

Training the chute? I doubt it! I've updated my blog software so I can mark articles as obsolete and now a warning will be shown at the top of the article. I've started marking some articles and will update others as I come across them.

Another classic dog agility sequence: the pinwheel to serpentine combo (or vice versa) 4-10. I'm sure some variation of this in at least one course somewhere in the country every weekend 😀 #dogagility #dogagilitytraining

The "cloverleaf" (at least that's I call it) e.g. 9-10-11 Is popping up again in courses and drills. It's been around for ages and is a good to practice forward sends, wraps, back side wraps, threadle wraps, etc. Some workshop participants might see it in the near future 😀

Ever have a course map and want to set up/build that agility course in your practice space? Want to help build courses at an agility trial? I'll go over the basics, starting from a course map/diagram to a finished course ready to run. agilitynerd.com/blog/agility/e…

Can you handle this weave entry? I've blogged our experience (with video) running Stefanie Theis' Masters Series Jumping course with the most challenging weave entry I can recall. It's a fun sequence to run and use for practice! #dogagility #agilitynerd agilitynerd.com/blog/agility/c…

A friend of mine’s dogs are injured and I’m still not able to run my own dogs. I offered to let her run my dogs at a workshop. So I wrote a blog post with a list of the verbal cues I use for my dogs to help her out. #dogagility #dogtraining agilitynerd.com/blog/agility/t…

Ever been frustrated when you wanted to build a course at home and the course map doesn't have a grid or any dimensions? I wrote up a blog post and recorded a video for a quick and easy website that does all the work! agilitynerd.com/blog/agility/w…

Our dogs are more than our dog agility teammates. Here’s almost 14 yro Flyer as he follows me around the yard while I’m watering the reseeded lawn. For his whole life Flyer has always been nearby “helping” me. I love having my silent companion nearby.

Our dogs are amazing! It is easy to loose sight of that when we are focused on improving our performance. So take a moment to look at video of your last run and really watch your dog and appreciate just how awesome they are! #dogagility #dogtraining Photos Barking Dog Images
