Following on from the previous circle work video, take a look at inside circles. These are harder for the dog as we are constantly pressuring them as we turn into their preferred line. It helps dogs learn to accept this pressure and hold their own course, especially on rear crosses where many dogs tend to flic away from the handler pressure thus missing the obstacle.
This demo is far from perfect- clearly we are rather rusty and we will be putting in some practise. I’ll update in a week or so with a progress report.

Moving outdoors for a short circle work refresher. Circle work is one of the most important handling foundations. It teaches the dogs to move with us, follow our line and neither flank away from us nor cut our line. When we do inside circles this helps the dogs learn to tolerate the pressure that we put on them in executing a rear cross. These videos are early stages before we add varied speeds and distractions.

Another in our winter series of short and sweet training ideas.

This is loosely based on Susan Garrett's DogsThat game It’s Yer Choice.

Susan is a ground breaking dog trainer who has a prolific online output and a comprehensive podcast library. Well worth a look if you are looking for inspiration in your dog training.

Another little video - and an extra picture of Phoebs to make up for chopping off her head!
Teaching a static ‘control’ position is so useful. All the movement that you see in this video is fine for an experienced dog. For starting out however you would not add this level of challenge. Always set your dog up to succeed.

Another Kettle Time video - with Phoebe this time. Phoebe is 12 and retired from agility but she still needs to work, to use her brain and to feel she has a role to play.

With shorter days, bad weather and agility breaks, I thought it would be fun to post up some short and sweet training ideas. Have a look and post your own versions.

I love the sentiment here - it goes for all of us, and isn’t emphasised enough.
Bad Dog Agility always have great podcasts - looking forward to tuning in to this one!

What does it take to become the first American to win individual gold at the FCI Agility World Championship in over a decade?

This week, we sat down with Kris Seiter and her Border Collie Naavdanya, fresh off their incredible performance in Kalmar, Sweden, where they captured the 2025 Intermediate Individual World Championship.

Kris walks us through every moment of her weekend—from her mindset before each run, to navigating the challenges of this year’s course design, to what it’s like sharing handling duties with her husband. We also talk about the emotions behind representing Team USA and what this win means for American agility.

It’s a thoughtful, inspiring conversation that shows what goes into performing at the highest level and what happens when everything finally comes together.
