Bernard practicing the “Two Bowl” game in Beginner Agility .
This game teaches the dog to focus forward on a target.
This is why mom's shouldn't be outside the ring!
Here's a report and video from Shelli and Opal!
It was our very first attempt at Gamblers this weekend. It was her last run before she got hurt.
Q-20, 78 points
Her first Gamblers she got Q-20, 70 points
She Q’d 11/12 runs, plus received 3 new titles.
Sweet little girl was on a roll. Then got hurt and had to scratch the rest of the weekend. 😔
Here is a fun Video from this weekends trial with Wendy and Tahoe. These are their very first runs in Nadac!
Start Line Stay
Let's talk about the "Stay" cue...
Did you know that there are 3 D's to consider before you ask your dog to stay? Distance, Duration, and Distractions all need to be practiced INDEPENDENTLY before you can combine them. Here is our instructor, Brenda, with her dog Kanan at the agility workshop last week.
When you practice you get the results you want! Some things to notice:
✔ High rate of reinforcement (lots of tiny rewards given one at a time) as she waits for the seminar presenter
✔ Kanan remains focused and Brenda remains connected to him

There’s so much more to dog training than most people realize. RELATIONSHIP is key! Brenda Belmonte entered the trial with this is mind and just wanted Kanan’s first experience to be fun!
Toys are just another “cookie” for most dogs!
The more you learn, the more you can teach!
