The Agility Rut

The Agility Rut

2022-02-1620:52

Often times we feel like we are just repeating the same thing over and over again - trial, class, trial, class and repeat. This can often feel stale. We often get disappointed in our weekend results and not accomplishing what we should. How do we get over this and what can we do about it?! Hint...we have some answers! Agility training and trialing should be fun and if it's not - you're not doing it right! 
This episode we talk about how important it is to break training down in tiny pieces to increase dog's understanding of skills! 
This podcast we discuss how and why to decide what to train in agility! Prioritizing your training helps a lot! Especially if you feel that you go out and train and you find yourself at a loss of what to actually train that day. Enjoy!

Puppy Raising 101

This podcast episode covers (pretty much) everything you need to know when you get a new puppy.  Potty training, household routines, picking a puppy class and beyond! This is a great episode to listen to before you get your puppy - or even after you've picked up your new family member! 
In this episode, Lora talks about disengagement.  Why dogs do it, where it stems from and how can we be more proactive in our training so it doesn't happen! Also, how can we change our mindset to a more proactive approach to help our agility teams be better!  
Agility has so many elements to train it can be overwhelming! Join Lora as she talks about agility training sessions and how to get the most out of them! Do you feel like you don't have a plan when training? This one is for you! 
Do you feel that a class/seminar is determined only by the time you work your dog? There is a lot more to classes than the time you have working your dog.  Are you maximizing your time in class?! Increase your learning and class/seminar time by optimizing your time when you're not actually working your dog!
