✏️ Register now starts Sept. 4th. Critical Skills for Your Up & Coming Performance Dog with Karen Holik. 12-week instructor-guided course.
Ready to begin training your new 🐶 puppy? This class focuses on the foundation skills that are essential for a successful career in agility. While it is ideal to learn these skills as a puppy, this is also a great class for dogs who may have missed some foundational skills or dogs sidelined from the ring who need mental stimulation without stressing their bodies.

Lessons include attention games and games to teach your dog to love to learn. You and your puppy will discover how to play together constructively while developing critical skills such as forward focus, directionals, wraps, turns on the flat, and more. We will cover a variety of topics including heel work, come to side, using food and toys as rewards, and sending to targets/food/toys.

NEW! ⭐ Plan a WOW 😮 Winter for Your Agility Dog - A Training Summit with Karen Holik, Kathy Keats, Bobbie Lyons, Lisa Schmit, Tracy Sklenar

Winter might be icy and cold where you live, but that doesn't mean you can't train your agility dog! It just takes a little planning!

Plan for a Wow Winter with Karen Holik, Kathy Keats, Bobbie Lyons, Lisa Schmit, and Tracy Sklenar. Starts Sept. 4th.

Each instructor has prepared a presentation full of activities that you can do indoors or in a small space when you don't have access to your regular training area because of inclement weather. Even if you live where winter is mild, your agility training will still benefit from this content!

The summit includes 5.5 hours of presentation videos plus nearly 10 minutes of bonus lessons, 4 live Q&A sessions, sequence maps, a printable training journal, and more!

The Q&A sessions will be recorded for later watching—and rewatching—so don't worry if you can't make a live Q&A session. You can even ask questions ahead of time if you can't be present!

Schedule of Events:
On 9/4, after midnight ET, the presentations will be available in the classroom to watch at your convenience. If you have questions about a presentation, you can post those questions in the discussion thread in the classroom. The presenters will address the questions during the live Q&A sessions. You can also ask questions in the live Q&As if you're able to attend. And, remember, if you can't watch the live Q&A, a recording will be uploaded for you to view later.

Note: The bonus material by Donna Savoie will be available as soon as you join the classroom!

Posture Evaluation and How it Affects Exercise and Sport Performance with Bobbie Lyons: You probably know that good posture is important for you, but did you know it matters for your dog too? Learn how to evaluate your dog's posture, how their posture affects movement and fitness exercises, and how to improve their posture and fitness level in a small space.

Stealth Self-Control: How To Get Amazing Impulse Control in Life and Sport Without Doing Any Impulse Control Games with Tracy Sklenar: Do isolated self-control exercises really work in the real world of busy and chaotic dog events? Learn what self-control really requires from your dog and how to "fold in" self-control as part of regular training games.

Beginning Distance Training in a Small Space with Lisa Schmit: You can teach distance work for any type of agility without having a big agility field. Learn how to handle at a distance with minimal space and equipment from one of the best distance handlers in the country. Lisa discusses shadow handling at a distance, distance handling cues, lateral distance, and more.
Backside Sends Skills: Training Those Tricky Backside Sends to a Jump with Karen Holik: There's more to a backside send than just sending the dog to the other side of a jump. Learn about the four primary types of backside sends and how to train them without a lot of space or equipment. Includes 24 small space, 2-jump exercises to practice on.
Training in Cycles: Maximize Progress and Minimize Injury and Burnout in Dog Sport with Kathy Keats: Burnout is real for dogs and handlers. You can train faster, prevent injury, and avoid burnout by training in cycles with your sports dog. Includes a printable training journal.

Ripping Velcro is not a pleasant sound for a lot of dogs, yet it's used on a lot of gear. Here's how I turned Velcro into a happy thing for my dog.

The Lick & Learn® was developed by McDevitt in cooperation with Clean Run to support Control Unleashed® trainers. It has a target for the dog on one side and a licking surface on the other. It allows you to engage your dog in licking behavior (which helps calm him) while he is walking next to you. It also has many other uses in training CU pattern games.

The target/licking portion of the Lick & Learn is 4.75" in diameter and your choice of 8.5" or 10.5" in length.

Available in assorted colors; please allow us to choose for you.

Important! The Lick & Learn is NOT dishwasher-safe. It should be washed in warm water (not any hotter than your hands are comfortable in!) using liquid dish soap. Temperatures above 110 degrees Fahrenheit can warp products made from PLA.

Note: We did a ton of research about different 3D printing filaments before we made this product. We used a nontoxic, food-safe filament that's also made with certified nontoxic dyes. While PLA itself in its pure form is nontoxic and considered food-safe, PLA filament is usually not because companies use additives (stuff to make it tougher, dyes for bright colors, etc.). We spend extra money getting materials that have certification documents showing they've been tested for toxicity and they are made with nontoxic dyes.

⭐ NEW! Dogs will run circles for these Wool toys! They are perfect for tug, fetch, or tossing games.

These wool products are handcrafted in Nepal by skilled and passionate artisan women in a safe, fair-trade environment using 100% New Zealand Merino Wool and colorful, safe vegetable dyes. They use a centuries old felting process to shape each toy by hand, making each toy truly unique.

We like wool toys because there are no seams for the dog to rip and no stuffing to remove. They are also very lightweight, making it easy for dogs to carry the toys around.
