Startlines...why do you need them? What happens if you don't have one?

Have you ever had that feeling of dread when walking out, not knowing if your dog will stay until you are ready? I have, it's awful and I don't want to be back there again!

Startlines help you have a feeling of confidence knowing you can walk out and trust that your dogs won't move.

If you don't have them it can make it very difficult to get to where you need to be at the start of your run which has a knock on effect for the rest.

So, with that in mind...do you want startlines like Nicola and her dogs? If the answer is yes then you will be very excited for the next part.

We are opening up our startline course on Monday, 26 October for 1 week only!

This course has everything you need to get started on a good solid startline routine, you just need your dog, their favourite treats and lots of consistency ❤️❤️

🔥 **SEXY START LINES ARE BACK!** 🔥

You’ve been asking, so we’re bringing back our popular Sexy Start Lines course this November!🐾

Ever watched a run unravel before you’ve even taken the first jump? Maybe your dog is creeping forward, you’re repeating your cues, or you’re already feeling like you’re on the back foot before the run has even begun!

Now imagine a startline where your dog is settled, focused and ready to go, with a clear understanding of what’s expected of them. 🤩

That’s what great startlines are all about. It’s not simply about teaching your dog to stay still — it’s about building clarity, confidence and trust between dog and handler.

At Wild Paws Agility, we believe that understanding and partnership are the foundations of great training, and startlines are no exception. ❤️

If you’d love to feel more confident at the start of your runs and build a calmer, more reliable startline with your dog, this course could be just what you’re looking for!

👀 Keep an eye on our page over the next few days as we share more about what you can expect from the course and how we can help you get those startlines looking sexy!🐶🙂

You may have a wait at home but how do you transition that to an am...
