Libby Jitters? I have been showing in agilty for 3 years and I still get the jitters. To a small extent they are a good thing, they keep you sharp. On the...
Something that works really well with Sugar is a rear cross. I LOVE the rear cross and it definitely has it's place! Quite often when people put in a front...
Holly, I had this same thing happen recently - I am used to using alot of shoulder movement to try to get tighter turns. Well, he came right between the jump...
Okay, I think this is very similar to the way I taught my dogs how to transition from a normal pace to a fast pace, back to a normal pace using my upper body...
Yes, It is the same idea, however, when you are doing a half-halt you are trying for only a split second to transition from fast to slow. This will force the...
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome another new member - harleydvd001 to our group. Please take a few minutes and tell the group something about...
Christine, In and off itself, there is nothing wrong with a dog barking while on course. The problem comes in, however, when this barking starts to interfere...

Does anyone else run an older dog? How can you tell when competing is really beyond them - especially when you have a none to keen dog to start with. I have to...
Chita wouldn't be the first "middle-aged" being to really need that afternoon nap! You might try observing her activity levels during the day. Other reasons ...
I'm still running Sugar at 10 years. She has good days and not so good ones, occasionally we opt not to run (this decision is made easier by having a young...
