Congratulations you two!!

10/04/2024

Huge congratulations to José and Harley! They are pretty new to competing but have been working really hard and they achieved a clear round and 2nd place!
Congratulations!
We are super proud of you both! Lots more fun ahead!

so the great thing about the training system we use is that it applies to ALL different styles of handling!

We teach the dogs to fully understand their job, then it doesnt matter what the handler does
Some run, some jog, some walk, some use wheels, some stand still, some even sit down!

Here is a video of Lea - one of our online students competing with her young dog and showing some awesome skills!

Wowser!
Just look at the fabulous progress Robin and Rip (US) have made!

We are so proud of you two! You have worked so so hard! It is all really starting to pay off now!

Well done!

Pacman is a young border collie who isn't able to do agility due to a spinal condition.

He certainly is enjoying being able to join in with the fun again though!

Here we have Audrey and the lovely Daisy (crazy daisy doo)!

We met Audrey and Daisy back in 2021 when they came to a hoopers workshop as Daisy was still a baby.

Audrey was worried she would have to give up playing the agility game for many reasons, but together, they have worked through the training and both of them have now built up their confidence and their relationship is booming and together they are able to achieve incredible things :D

Well done to both of you :)

Here is Rip and his handler Robin.

Rip went to live with Robin in September 2022. To say he was a wild child would be the understatement of the year! Robin adopted Rip from a rescue centre and there was lots of over-arousal biting, scratching and generally being a young wild cattle dog!

Together they have worked through lots of arousal games and lots of general training and tonnes of foundation games, they also do rally, and they contacted us as they wanted to start agility to give him another physical and mental outlet, however Robins health means that moving too much is not an option - not that Rips arousal would have allowed her to be running around anyway!

They have already come so so far on their journey together and building their relationship!
Here they are successfully completing a short sequence working on their directional cues!

Scruffy Dee with his handler Leah.

Leah used to be a runner but due to health reasons has had to convert completely over to distance handling.
Leah joined our online training program around 13-14 months ago. She has a range of rescue dogs varying in age that she is working with. She has also been having a play with her older retired agility dog Scruffy Dee.

This is what Leah has to say about Scruffy Dee:
"My 12yo, most velcroed dog in the history of the universe! If he’s not close to me he spins to the point he’ll bring on a grand Mal seizure. Even challenging his weaves with me being a few centimetres away would previously cause a seizure! I CANT BELIEVE WE ACHIEVED THIS!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks"

This is a video of one of our students - Jose.

Jose joined our online training program March 2021 when Harley was 5months old.
Harley is 2yrs 3months now and this is one of their most recent runs.

Puppy Diaries

We have got LIVE puppy diaries on the site for both Nitro - a working cocker x collie, and for Neo - the dalmatian.
During Neo's puppy diary training a rescue dog also joins the household and becomes part of the training diary so you get to see us working through her training as well!

The diaries are a great way to see the "behind the scenes" of how we train our dogs. We video every training session, their first interactions with the big wide world eg first walks, sometimes several walks, anything involving training or new environments. You get to see sooooo much more than just their pre-sports training - you get to see EVERYTHING! The good, the bad, the great and the ugly!

Neo's Distance Diary is available as a stand-alone course or as part of the COMPLETE package!
Nitro's diary is a FREE bonus of Neo's distance diary package!

Taking your dog out and about with you should be an easy and enjoyable experience.

A dog that is dragging you around is much less enjoyable for all parties involved.

This course will show you how you can work with your dog to create some very quick results, meaning that out and about time can become more fun again for everyone.

The games trained within this course are great for helping with relationship building and have helped lots of students with basic recall training too!

The dog that I will be working for these videos is a new rescue girl. She is 4years old and joined us on 18th December 2021. The videos taken on 23rd December show how she pulls on the lead. Her training started on 24th December and shows you just how much you can accomplish in just a few short days!

Live in a multi-dog household and want to make the most of your training time?

Want to be able to work your dog in workshops with others around and still have your dog be able to think and focus?

Want to be able to queue with your dog at shows/events with rings running around you and your dog is able to queue quietly, calmly and not get wound up by the sports going on around them?

Take the fight out of training your dog in a group environment!

This course is perfect for helping your dog to deal with their over-arousal, to not just learn how to cope with it, but to think through it and still be able to focus and work with you.

All the training will be broken down into small games to play with your dogs that can be integrated as part of your everyday life.

Does your dog get over excited and over aroused around other dogs? Maybe when they are around dog sports or in exciting environments?

Maybe you have a dog who is really lovely, but acts out in public when other dogs get too close to them? Maybe by barking and lunging or showing their teeth and growling at other dogs?

Maybe dogs are ok but new people are scary? Or new environments?

Or maybe you have a dog who has to run over and snog everyone all the time? So you struggle to get your dog to focus on you as everything else is more exciting?

This course is aimed at those dogs who need just a little extra space for a variety of reasons!

We will take a look at:

-What can cause a dog to over-react to certain situations and stimuli
-How a dog chooses to react and what that means
-How we can help a dog to change their habits and become a happier more -comfortable dog in all environments
-Muzzle training
-Discount with The Muzzle Shop for all students!
-All the training will be broken down into small games to play with your dogs that can be integrated as part of your everyday life.

Is your dog amazing at home? in training? but doesn’t transfer their awesomeness into competitions?

Does your dog get over excited and then doesn’t listen to you when you need them to, even though you KNOW they have the skills to do what you are asking of them?

Don’t worry, THIS course is for YOU!

When a dog’s brain gets into an overaroused state, your dog is NOT deliberately ignoring you, their brain is unable to hear your request, or is unable to process your request.

This course will teach you and your dog a new way of working together. One that requires self control from your dog and will teach them self control. It will also teach their brains how to process cues from you in super high arousing environments.

This is the system we use for teaching super start lines and fabulous stop contacts as well! There are BONUS LIVE videos within the course that talk you through applying this training to both startlines and other obstacles!

This course is available as a stand-alone or as part of Dog Sports Online COMPLETE!
