In Episode 020 of the Maximum Fun Agility podcast, join host Lorrie Reynolds as she debunks the myth that practicing on full courses is the best way to prepare and compete successfully at agility trials. Lorrie draws on her personal experience with her former agility dog, Dash, to illustrate the potential benefits of focusing on shorter sequences rather than full courses in training. She recounts Dash's surprising success, despite never having run a full course before his first trial, and uses this story to challenge conventional training wisdom. Lorrie explains the value of breaking courses into sections to enhance handling skills and teamwork. This episode encourages agility handlers to rethink their training approach and offers alternatives for those with limited space or equipment. Discover how mastering smaller sequences can lead to more success on course.
