✨ A little update ✨

With the news that the EOs in France has been cancelled, I’ve decided to take this unexpected opportunity to have a few days away .

As a small business owner, I’ll still need to keep on top of a few admin tasks, but I’ll be keeping these to a minimum so I can properly switch off and enjoy some time away.

Thank you so much for your understanding, patience, and continued support. 💙

✨ Wing wraps = tighter turns, better lines & more confidence ✨

A small skill that creates a big impact! Teaching your dog to wrap tightly around a wing helps develop commitment, understanding of the line, and confidence when navigating tight turns on course.

One of the key details is toy placement 🧸
By delivering the toy on the ground, we encourage the dog to keep their head low — which helps the rest of the body naturally follow into a tighter, more efficient turn.

The toy is also delivered close to the wing to build value for the commitment of going all the way around the wing, encouraging your dog to wrap as fast, as tight, and as efficiently as possible.

Break it down, reward the right choices, and watch those turns improve 🐕💨

Remember — it’s not just about the finished behaviour, it’s about building the foundations step by step 🐾

Save this for your next training session! 😄

Does your dog loose time on the finish line in agility?

We want the home straight to be as fast, powerful and explosive as the beginning.
So it’s a great idea to train a ‘Go’ cue. ‘Go’ meaning the dog keeps driving forward.

A really easy hack to teach this, is by teaching the dog to run to a reward out in front of it.

Reward can with be a toy or their favourite treat.

To start:
🐾Have the dog by your side, throw the reward ahead in a straight line, then release the dog to the reward straight away.

🐾Repeat a few times then start to add the ‘Go’ cue. You want to say this just before the dog is released so the verbal cue is paired with the behaviour.

🐾Then start to add 1 jump (with either no pole or the pole very low) in between the dog and the reward. Ensuring the dog understands to go over the jump to get the reward.

🐾Then you can increase the amount of jumps in between the dog and the reward

Save this for your next session and have fun training 😄
