This video shows how to introduce your dog to the noise and feel of the movement of the teeter. You will see how they raise the teeter in increments so the movement becomes greater and the noise louder. The dog in this video has no fear up to this point of the noise and you can see how he is more focused on the toy than the noise. If you had a fearful dog you would have a helper make [...]
There is more than one way to teach contacts, but you will see the obvious advantage to successful running contact training. Emelie’s dogs, Vilda and Viggo, are the perfect example of how much time can be saved on a run with solid running contacts. You have to teach them correctly or you will experience fly-offs and not only is that dangerous it is disaster for your run. Many will teach both the running contact along with 2 on 2 off [...]
Ever wonder what you would learn in Silvia Trkman’s Agility Foundation Class? This is a neat video that shows what this dog and handler team has already learned at the half way point. You will notice that this team is doing their homework as well as the complete each of the sequences with speed and grace. Sometimes it is hard to find a program that works for you and your dog and that is completely normal. You need to visit [...]
So we have seen how much fun Brace Agility can be for competitors and audience alike. This team is really putting the polish on their runs and becoming pros on the Brace Agility course. It starts a bit awkward but a bit amazing when one of the dogs remains on the start line stay. There are a couple little mistakes through the course, but overall these girls make Brace look easy. They are also staying focused on the handler as [...]
There is no doubt that Nuno Baltasar and his dog Candy spend a ton of time together working on their moves.

Her focus and drive have been grown and developed with Nunos careful training and he is getting the pay off. Nuno is proud to know that his dog is trained exclusively with positive reinforcement and [...]
This is a great video highlighting the fun that this group had during the year. I like these as you can see the diversity of dogs as well as handlers that make this such a great sport. They even threw in some bloopers helping to keep it real and entertaining at the same time. You can see the different level as well making it a great way to see how far you come in the year. If your group can [...]
It would stand to reason that if you are going to run Brace Agility that having dogs of similar size may make things a tad easier. These two beautiful Gordon Setters, Kidder and Zelda, really get into the game at this 2011 WAG USDAA trial. The narrator is fun to listen to as well as he gives a blow by blow commentary of their run. The crowd really gets into it as well as the dogs shift from running to [...]
There aren’t many videos out there of this fun and challenging class, Brace Agility. This is an entertaining look at this unusual class with all 7 teams at the Agility Club of San Diego trial on June 4, 2011. Done mostly for fun, you will see some teams actually do a great job as the handler has control of each dog independently. Brace as like other dog competitions meaning one handler and two dogs running the course at the same [...]
I couldn’t stop laughing! This video is very creative and helps you see the lighter side of dog agility. As if there really is a heavy side, but you will see what I mean as they do all kinds of fun stuff. My favorite part is the right at the beginning when discussing the importance of keeping your eyes on your dog. Feel like things are getting to serious for you at your practices or trials? Then just remember this [...]
Nice video that demonstrates how to introduce your dog to the tunnel obstacle with drive and enthusiasm. You should only start with the tunnel in a straight line and scrunched up as short as you can get it. If you are working with an older and more timid dog you should use to people and loads of yummy treats and praise. In either case you should get the dog accustomed to the tunnel at full length before adding bend to [...]
