Something new and F R 3 3 is coming for you!
Agility isn’t just about speed and skill—it’s built on strong foundations. Too many trainers focus on just skills, when it is actually all the other pieces 🧩 that determine your success.
Here are four concepts that create a winning team! 🏆🐾
✨ Confidence: For agility dogs, confidence means trusting themselves, the environment, and their ability to tackle each obstacle. This is the number 1 concept any agility dog needs!
🤝 Relationship: A solid relationship between dog and handler is key! This means trust, clear communication, confidence in each other, and an attitude to have fun despite any setbacks and regardless of the results!
🎯 Focus: Agility courses are full of distractions—other dogs, noises, and new surroundings. A focused dog can zone in on the task at hand, staying mentally sharp and responsive to your cues throughout the course.
👋 Disengagement: This skill allows a dog to shift their attention from distractions back to you. Whether they’re excited by a new scent or curious about a nearby dog, or maybe even an off course obstacle, a strong disengagement skill is vital in agility and everyday life!

Honestly, are you⁉️...
🤔Ask yourself this question if you are wanting certain results, but they are just not transpiring!
😬The biggest mistake I see handlers making is not giving enough attention to all the little pieces that matter the most!
🤯If your dog can't think clearly when excited, they won't give you their best performance in the ring!
😟If they struggle with the environment, they won't give you their best performance in the ring!
😶🌫️If they lack confidence or don't like pressure, they won't give you their best performance in the ring!
🏃♀️If you don't understand your critical points on a course, how to get to them, and what to do if you don't, they won't give you their best performance in the ring!
👃If they struggle to disengage from distractions, that being other dogs, smells, noise, or off course equipment, they won't give you their best performance in the ring!
😰If you struggle with your confidence or ring nerves, they won't give you their best performance in the ring!
🖊 I could go on!
🧩See, the thing is, a lot of the key pieces can seem boring or time-consuming to train, or handlers focus solely on training just the dog, they forget the key role they play and often don't give enough thought to their own feelings or mindset!
⛔️But what if I told you by making just a few subtle changes to your day, that it will make a huge difference to what success you get when competing.
🏆Success isn't just skills. It is about ALL the little pieces that encompass this big game of agility.
🤔Question is, are you REALLY doing enough to get the results you want ⁉️⁉️⁉️

Truth 🤷♀️⬇️.....
What gets reinforced gets repeated! Keep topping up those good choices THROUGHOUT your dogs life.
Personally, I don't get why people would want to stop rewarding their dogs. However, I do get it that it isn't always appropriate to reward with food...
HOWEVER...
There are LOTS of things you can use as reinforcement for your dog, it isn't all food and toys.
If you'd like help with using different reinforcement in your training, DM me 'REINFORCEMENT', and I will give you some tips 🩷.

🧩The pieces dont just help with agility...🧩
Many of the topics I talk about and teach in the academy go way beyond the agility ring.
Think of it like agility meets behaviour 🩵 The best thing about behaviour is that it isn't limited to agility!
The pieces you get access to in the academy will help you to understand your dog, and with that comes a boosted relationship, better connection, and more success 🙌.
Yes, there are pieces that are specific to agility, but these pieces, combined with all the others, are what will enable your team to go from strength to strength at home and in the agility ring.

🚙🤔Does your dog love the vehicle? 🚙🤔
⛔️⬇️ Read the caption ⬇️⛔️
This morning, Quest and I had a training session focusing on lots of different skills.
In this short clip, we are working on vehicle calmness, criteria, focus, boundary training, and more!
You will notice this video isn't foot perfect - news flash - dog training is rarely foot perfect 😲🤯❤️🔥.
The polished skills you usually see on social media, yeah, they are all edited 🤷♀️.
Edited videos may look Flashy, but you don't learn from them, it just showcases what a trainer can do, and let's be honest, if they are training as a professional, you'd expect them to be able to demonstrate skills‼️
What is really important is showing what REALLY happens in a training session and sharing how to progress! That is what helps others, as they can resonate and learn from it.
👩💻This is why I opened my Quest For Success Academy- along with providing a vault of behaviour knowledge that isn't routinely covered in agility training, I also share all my training videos with detailed explanations.👩💻
I want to help handlers like you to succeed in agility by arming with you with ALL the pieces that are correct for your individual team.

🧩✨️Do you play ringside games with your agility dog?🧩✨️
What games to play depends on your dog's personality, likes, and arousal levels ringside.
In the Quest For Success Academy, there is a library of games, a vault of information on behavioural knowledge, training videos, webinars, and tailored information for you and your dog, so you can put all the pieces together for success 🙌

💕Arlo💕
Today, Arlo doubled up in his 1-1 session.
In the first half, we worked on behaviour, specifically arousal, as Arlo gets super excited around agility.
We went through different levels of boundary training and also concentrated on games for disengagement, impulse control, and thinking when in high arousal. We also talked through handler mechanics, different rates of reinforcement, and using different reinforcement for different things. We also put a plan in place to progress the training at home and ways to transfer what we were doing to general walks.
In the second half, we transferred some of what we had been doing onto the agility equipment, focusing on a startline routine and ways to help Arlo with his arousal on the startline. We also proofed his wing wrap against handler movement.
Amanda is an academy member, so she completely understood what we were doing and why. The Academy is full of information on the behaviour side of agility training, making the practical training so much easier as a handler as she already has an insight into how Arlo sees things and why he makes certain choices on course 🫶.
Well done Arlo (and @movewithmanda ) 🌟 🌟
