도그 어질리티에서 "내 앞에 있는 반려견을 훈련하라"는 무슨 뜻일까요?

your very own balance harness okay Allison shared this Gem and first she said emulate before you innovate AKA follow the steps to apply the reinforcement system as demonstrated it's based on science and the fact that I've been training and teaching professionally for over 35 years second gem is our dogs lack of understanding m is demonstrated by their misbehavior or what people call naughty behavior um that helps us to be better dogs trainers so Allison said my core values align I too believe that dogs are not stubborn all dogs and people learn differently we need to listen to our dogs and find a different strategy this is this applies to all dog training agility um pet dog training obedience I don't care what you're doing uh I started crate games and then handling 360 then added agility donation since I've added wag nation and morphed into homeschool the dog yep love says team and they training Allison you're a rock star my friend you to win a balance harness I kind of in a little small way feel like Oprah when I get to give away prizes so i' like to thank my sponsors for that and and then we'll just do a little timeout here to My Demo dog is not quite ready for demoing just so if you're wondering [Music] um I love that he is so thriven in agility and this is how he lives most of his life I definite definite off switch definite off switch which I absolutely love okay so I I asked you the question about what are those the three focuses of any training session and this it it it doesn't matter if you're training in dog agility it doesn't matter if you're just you want your dog to walk on a loose leash this is going to work for everything all right so I'm going to change my camera luckily I don't have to change anything else and I will turn this around I think that you guys can see that maybe it come a little closer okay so V diagrams I love me my V diagr maybe it's the scientist in me so you guys had a lot of great answers um I would say that relationship could go in there or connection that was another really good one I think the the the Orange is what we're training in and it's almost like it's it's the the understatement of all of this and oh get my gra my black marker please you can see it perfect thank you so the orange and safety is there an e in safety I don't know doesn't look right is there an e in it okay we'll just squeeze in and E I can't spell safety but you know what a great so that's the orange that should always be assumed that um it's going to be the the foundation of everything we do is I mean inherently there is an element of risk in anything we do with our dogs and so we've got to do always be doing a risk

assessment based on the age and stage and the foundational layers that you have with your dog so um safety is kind of the understatement and then one of the big focuses is the joy not just of the dog but of you because the dog can tell excuse me your energy is transferred right to the dog so if you're having a bad day depending on the dog you probably should just say um I need I need to find some uh Joy somewhere Excuse Me Maybe it's gonna come from uh a chocolate that's always a good Ser intensive Joy or just saying I get you know what I get to do I get to train my dog find some Joy before you try to train and then Clarity that Clarity comes from the layers of learning learning never happens in isolation it it has to like Effective Education has to come in layers you know you can't just take a six-year-old and say we're going to do we're going to do um organic chemistry now wait a minute that's like first year university we got some layers of learning that have to happen and the same is true with your dog so Clarity comes from effective layers of learning and the confidence the confidence is by you as a trainer never overfed dog the confidence comes from there might be some failures in in training we're just human but we prepared the dog that when they fail this is what happens and life is good so confidence happens by the clarity that you've set up for your dog this sweet spot is where our goal is for training is that we we do have an equal balance of joy and Clarity and confidence now if you have joy and you have a confident dog but you have no Clarity you're not going to move very far along a sport-like dog agility which is very complex right if you don't have the clarity of understanding of how to layer the learning so that the dog can do what Propet showed you he could do there's just too many things to to for the dog to be able to have success with and if the dog doesn't have that Clarity what's GNA happen what did you do a lot of blame on the dog if you're doing dog agility right now I'm I'm gonna lower this because this is my serious messaging if you're doing dog agility right now and your dog does something you don't expect and you find your hands on your hip yelling at your dog I mean not yelling that's harsh about saying you know R you know this I I interrupted prophets upside down C up with that harshness um just know that it's always in the way you handle the dog or in the clarity that which you taught the dog there's so many things if you're trying to teach isolated skills and Agility then you're going to lack Clarity and eventually the joy and the confidence are going to be

diminished all right and the same thing is if if you have Clarity and you have confidence but you don't have joy and you keep growing you're going to end up with a dog that either really starts walking in agility or never like get ends up like moving away it doesn't matter how great a dog trainer you are you have to know in agility when to when to add more complexity when to keep things super simple right you need to to keep that really really clear for your dog and and so any one of these two combinations without the other is what's going to lead to you not meeting your goals and potentially one or both of you being frustrated and potentially one or both of you not liking agility because if you have joy and confidence but no Clarity then that could be a dog who's just like woo running off doing all the things that they want to do anytime they want to do it right we need and with Clarity and Agility it just Encompass encompasses so many things it's Clarity to know how to do a sea cell how to do weed pulls properly how to do how to jump properly how to turn tightly but it also is Clarity in what do my body cues mean what what what all is involved right so this is I think true for anything we train our dogs to do but absolutely true and Agility let me know in the comments if this makes sense to you okay I'm going to come back here look at me flipping that um [Music] okay okay I got a thumbs up from Pamela that that make sense thank you okay so when we have have no like it doesn't matter if you have f i I have four bord Coles and in in my lifetime I think I've had 10 I should know that off the top of my head I think I've had 10 border Coles but I'm not entirely sure no no two no two are alike n none of them I think profit I see a lot of feature a lot of swagger and a lot of Buzz could it be that those are all my red bordic Coles maybe but I see behaviorally very similar similar things um but no but none of my dogs have been the same therefore my challenges are going to be different therefore as a dog trainer nothing is 100% easy for me even though I've been doing this at an elite level for a lot of years you need to be able to manage your expectations when you come to train your dog so I'm going to give you some of you may have seen this video I'm going to share this little two-minute video with you saw a Propet as a 12 and a half Monon old puppy his skills and Agility I'm going to share a little video that's going to show you my three-year-old she's almost four now my almost four-year-old dog this at a much older age I think she was 18 months when a lot of this was videoed so that you can see what's the

difference between these two dogs okay so I'm just going to share this video um it's like I said it's about two minutes long um at the end uh I'll show you another video of thisy but here's this um where I started and I want you to write in the comments either during the video or after if any of this resonates with you and your dog and the journey that you're on reactive fearful and shutdown were words that people might use to describe my now 3-year-old bord col this thisy was afraid of everything really afraid of bars falling she would leave work where normal bordoli would bounce maybe 12 or 15 ft she could only bounce eight even in her own building here at a seminar as an 18-month-old dog she was distracted she wouldn't engage with me she wouldn't move forward she had zero interest in tugging and here we are now just over a year later and this weekend she not only competed at the US Open she thrived at the US Open [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] with a mantra of helping my dog to find daily joy we look for Progress not Perfection I hope you realize what's possible when you bring Clarity into your dog's life you help fan the Flames of confidence and from that confidence Joy can [Music] grow so any of you can relate to any of those things now you might have the opposite problem you might have a dog that tends a little bit more like profit except they seem to be on their own agenda just like flying and not ignoring you and and and not um paying attention seemingly I'm just going to show you another quick little video of thisy last month so we keep progressing this is her at a competition in Texas last monthy hey hey hey hey oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] yeah good [Music] girl so you can see even from I think that the the the runs that we showed you

on the last video was in November to June like she continues to find joy to get faster and so how can somebody who's a world champion of dog agility who's been who has been a world champion uh of dog agility for decades and decades how can I then get a dog like this and say well this isn't the way agility should be I believe that um dogs are sent to us for a reason and thisy help expand my empathy and understanding to expand my empathy for any of you who are struggling with a dog like this the bottom line I kept reminding myself is how much I love this dog I just love her she's just such a cool little dog and so it it wasn't like you have to do agility therefore we're going to get better it was we'll play around with this and if we keep getting better then maybe we can go to some trials which we did and if you keep getting better we'll go to some bigger trials which we did there is there's all for me it's it's the expectation of where were we yesterday can can we do better than that if not that's fine if we can and now we have like a community around the world of team this who celebrate and follow our journey and I think as cool as a dog like Propet is that this is far more uh inspirational for many people because what happens is if you have a dog who isn't normal maybe you've got a different breed maybe you don't have a typical agility breed and many of you watching from North America possibly do have a Chinese crested or um or era Newland or something that you normally don't see in the agility ring so the first thing you have to do is manage your expectations and say do I have a plan to create Clarity that's where in and I you know I'm going to talk about handling 360 but that's where handling 360 comes in that's our online program where people are able to turn things around for their agility dog no matter where they're starting so do you have a plan how can you grow confidence is the dog having Joy right so manage your expectations number two this is the toughest one you let me know if I'm not right if this isn't more difficult than managing your own expectations and that is the ability to ignore the expectations of others maybe it's family you know maybe it's a a spouse who means well but they're like you're sinking a lot of money into this agility and that dog doesn't seem to be getting much better or maybe it's um the breeder who's like you know they're the litter mates are doing so much better like what do you think's going on here or maybe it's your own ego or maybe it's your trainer who's like keeps pushing you and I think the hardest thing is to say I can ignore all that Ian you know I got um I posted

yesterday on social media that prophet's mother and father siren Dam came first and third in the biggest dog agility competition in the world just for Border Coles it was epic his mother came first his father came second and I got people writing me don't you don't you feel pressure now no maybe he'll be one of the best in the world at agility and it doesn't matter to me if we're not right so manage manage your response to the expectation of others no matter where you are in your journey journey of dog training and for those of you who are struggling in dog agility just know it can get better if you have when you get The Sweet Spot of that Ben diagram The Joy the clarity and the confidence okay so that I'm hoping you're noing you're saying yes i' I've got this all right now I want to share with you um what does what am I what am I I'm talking about all these layers of learning but what does that what does that really look like what do I mean by that so if you think of um all that we have to train in dog agility like let's just let's do do a little uh a little showand tell I want you to write in the comments groups of skills that you need to be brilliant at dog agility just put them in the comments I'm going to help you out like jump skills tight turns you guys what are the skills that we need um to to have a great agility dog a great agility dog what are those skills understanding the dog language value contact skills looh says so seesaws and dog walks and and uh A-frames distance skills thoughtfulness to be able to be excited but still thoughtful Robin says we're new I have no idea that's awesome Rob I'm appreciate your being here confidence foundational skills crate games yes those are things that go into it let's just talk about agility all of the obstacles what are the things that are dogs need any of that that the dogs have to have understanding for the flat work away from agility directionals best said that's good right and left they need to know right left turn a little bit turn hard turn soft um they have to have Focus yes that's that's true of any any uh dog training it's a good one self-control um body language George more than hand signals is they're understanding a body language all right so um I wonder if I could do a demo with yeah so while you guys are keep writing that I'm just going to leave the camera there I'm going to get profit out and just show you how he can follow my body language bety break he says I'm a B get this thing you guys keep R now agility is about the dog driving but following our body so if I want to but let's say I want to turn we should turn if I want to change he should

change sides with me straight good right so that's the body length anguage that's the handling um between the communication between the dog and the Handler right but then Robin said this is great distinguish different verbal cues that's huge that's huge so let me just maybe if I don't even have to change to the other camera I'll just do that whoa I think this will work okay distinguish between different cues so let's say can I have that one I'm going to trade that out for this one is this throws better plus it says agility Nation how cool is that straight all right so if I said if I'm I'm GNA stand right here we'll put a mark on the ground where I'll be so that I'll Stand in the same place all right you guys can see that go toy and he's excited right so now what's going to happen when I say y so he needs to be able to understand clel CL so that's why Prophet was able to do the things I showed you in that video is because he listens he listens to the words he listens to my body right distinguishing handling 360 is a verbal system the first one of its kind in the sport of dog agility back in the day when people say don't talk to your dog it distracts them today everybody at the top is using a verbal system so everything we do because we've been doing it for 15 years inhaling through 360 we have the understanding of um what to keep and what not to keep and how we teach that okay so a lot of great skills so if you look at all the skills these are all the skills that people could use for dog agility so how do we how do we create um some clarity out of all that chaos oh Susan what I I got to do my I got to do my um my my dog walk I got to do my seesaw I got to do my oh I got to do my weave pools I haven't guess oh man guess what he hasn't done his dog walk he hasn't done his seesaw he hasn't done his weave pools he hasn't been he even seen uh two two sets I do two by twos hav't even seen two two we he never even seen them because there's so many other things that we can do and have fun and grow confidence so that we can be the best agility dog we can be all right so where does it start it starts the development of agility skills we need to organize now I'm not saying there is a special order everything's got to be done in a special order but generally speaking there are some skills like on the leand side that need to be in place before you will have success at the right hand side so and with each grouping of skills like this is relationship games AKA recaller games and those games every one of these little balls in there air can be broken down into a lot of other balls so the recaller skills is it can be broken down

or the the relationship skills that I have there that can be broken down to recol or games and manners and nail trimming and body awareness and all sorts of different things that get put into into that sorry this is all of the recol games and the relationship things okay so that all gets put into just that one little ball now I hope by show showing you all of this that I'm not overwhelming you that you're not going I'm out I could never possibly do agility because here's the really cool thing as you are training in dog agility you're deepening that relationship with your dog so that outside distractions are no longer have any power for the dog because they're so deeply connected to you so yes there's a lot of little things to consider but if you're doing it in a strategic way you're just deepening that relationship that you have with your dog as you're doing it and so here's all the layers I'm going to can you guys see that really well so you could just screen cap that relationship um manners body awareness learning to fail through shaping balancing the use of food and toys being able to retrieve so a lot of people skip retrieve skills and goes right they'll jump right over to like uh number 15 oh my dog can't retrieve but I'm gonna do tunnel games well guess what you will struggle with your tunnel games when your dog doesn't have a retrieve Drive thoughtfulness in drive so that drive remember I said that there's that there is um with each one of those things there's a bunch of little other skills that are associated with each Focus so drive is I think D pointed out we need a dog who's not only driven but is has uh his thoughtful while they're driven that they're still listening they don't go over doing the agility okay bye that that's part of the game together all of these things get woven into so those are all of the things that get woven into an amazing agility dog and and the really cool thing is that when you're doing this um when you're approaching this in a strategic way that the very the vast majority of these skills the vast majority of them happen before you ever get too much agility equipment so number 12 is Jump skills number 11 directionals you might use a jump for that so you there's so much that you can do but what people what happens is people have this idea in their head that you could start agility when the growth plates are closed that let's start agility the growth plates are closed if you listened to my podcast a few weeks ago um that maybe is a consideration I would never do agility with a like five month four month six month puppy but there are things that you can do if you've got all of these

done so all of these for thisy probably took her till she was close to two years old for profit that was that was all done and dusted by the time he was five or six months old so did I then say now I can run agility no I'm like yeah now let's do some things to develop the fitness level of the dog and grow grow it up I'm not going just because that dog can do agility I'm going to let him do some sequencing with two or three obstacles maybe when he's seven months old but I'm G I'm I'm getting ahead of myself that that there is um a lot my the point that I'm making is there's so much that you can do before you actually are have to have to have any equipment you have a few jumps and if you have a tunnel and a few jumps you're golden you're golden there is just so much does this make sense to you guys do you have anything that any anything that you're you need clarification on before I go on because I don't want to keep adding to this if you are like I don't get it give me a drink of water okay so let's carry on then you're all with me so what we want to do and you're gon to screen cap this one too guys this is a guideline this is not etched in stone I know this is what everybody wants but but it is just a guideline the first couple two to three months you get your if you're getting a rescue dog follow this guideline too first two or three months that you have them we are working on things that are going to develop that relationship things that are going to um develop the dogs understanding of of what life with you is don't put much expectations on them just have fun the goal being growing confidence developing the relationship Learning House manners and of course some good old socialization and then we go up from that four to five months we're doing more socializing we're really working on our recall recolor games recolor games recolor games um continuing to grow the dog's confidence and working on their mental flexibility so what do I mean by that so I might play a fun little game like this with my puppy because agility is about a dog being able to discriminate jump versus tunnel versus Bloom and the blink of Ane if they're going as fast as they can so with puppies I'll start playing once they know some games here B break can you bring me oh it might not if you guys can't hear me maybe I got this on the wrong audio settings oh because I have it on the wrong setting all this time you had amazing sound and I blew it how's that but that's a lot better ring okay so I bet you can hear me really good [Music] now so little discriminations mine so I might put the toy out in front I grab my Ready Set strike yeah he can grab the toy Ready Set

Le bump le le le strike oh that would be your head Ready Set W WAP strike okay so playing these little discrimination games as they're growing up so this is the age and stage now I said I'm GNA come off that that little chart is a guideline because let me tell you at 12 months of age you're maybe doing m wraps um I haven't I haven't started back training contacts with profit yet little bit on the dog walk but that's it um but I have been running so it says 14 to 15 months uh three to six obstacles at a low height he's already done that he's already done that VY didn't do any of this until she was almost two years old so I want to stress that it is a guideline it isn't oh that charts says my dog should be doing this now that's why I led with the Ben diagram train the agility dog in front of you train the dog in front of you there is no etched and stone guideline for any dog you might have a dog like this you might have a dog like Propet I hope you love them as equally as I love mine and I'm trusting that if you're watching this you do and so you want to bring out the best in those dogs or in your dog when uh just depending on the dog that that you have in a way that doesn't overtax over overwhelm that dog and that's why it would be a disservice to me if I didn't encourage you not just suggest not just offer but absolutely shake you and say handling 360 is where you need to be you absolutely do it doesn't matter what your goals are we've had world champions that have won medals well in handling 360 we've also had people who had never even seen agility before they joined handling 360 because of the of the of the way that we present these layers we're growing your confidence as we're helping you to grow your dogs and that's why like it's just to me there's no other place that people should be working to grow their dog's understanding and I wish I could knock on everybody's door and say I as a dog lover if you have any interest in dog agility yes this is an investment it's a huge investment and you might say well I live in a different country my currency is different this is going to be oh it might be $55,000 for me but it's an investment in you being able to bring out joy in your dog let alone the investment in you have success in agility all right so I'm going to answer questions now about agility Nation about handling 360 now we have we have three different products so agility nation is a membership if you are uncertain where to start most people should be starting in handling 360 handling 360 is a set of classrooms where we walk you through the layers there's videos there's PDFs there's entire group of coaches that

help you get success at every layer and for some people like the the things that I've showed you here everything I've showed you here is from handling 360 things like how do I do a dog walk or how do I do weave poles those are like uh outside skills those are in agility Nation so we have both handling 3660 orilation if you feel ambitious and you want to get them together this is I think think this is like a savings of 45% I believe but if you want to know where to start if you want to start bringing joy and Clarity and confidence to your dog 100% it's a handling 360 start okay so I'm going to answer your questions now um this is from Liam and Lizzy how much agility equipment do we need at home for handling 360 program well as I mentioned it's different classrooms so for the first two classrooms you can do them all with with like a cone oh a cone or if you don't have a cone a garbage can come on you can get a garbage can right so you can just improvise with if what you what what you don't have and then near the end of the and and the the first classroom I think is um six weeks the second classroom I believe is 16 weeks so this is a yearlong coaching program a year-long coaching program so the first um the first classroom we work on your like do you have a dog like profit or do you have a dog like this do we have to build up drive or we have to help you learn how to create focus with that drive and then and then we we go to our foundation the flatwork where I show you the dog that follows your body we teach you how to do the what's the difference between a blind cross and a and a front cross I'm going to just show you that video I'm going to break up what I'm going to say right now I'm going to show you that video again a profit because I think yeah see if you can see blind cross rear cross front cross in the video how many of each I'll watch along with you and I'll see how many line crosses how many front crosses um now maybe you can't see them but like do we see on the camera all right on camera how many blind cross front cross rear cross and if you're new to agility you're like I don't know what language you're speaking right now girly it's okay just watch and enjoy [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] come [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay any guesses how many did you get front crosses blind crosses rear crosses they happen pretty fast and I don't know that you would I I I wouldn't put money on the fact that I have it 100% right but I think I'm pretty darn close any guesses Carla you're awesome Carla says I could watch that a zillion times

George George said 43,000 oh Gina that's so kind now you know running dog agility if you notice any of the elite they're all between the ages of like 25 to maybe 35 and um U my birthday was last Friday and so my birth certificate inist that I'm 63 although I don't buy into that and so I I I anybody it doesn't matter what your age is it doesn't matter what your physical limitations are if we balance the dog training that we do with what we can do how much we can run then anything's possible okay alisan guess three blinds three fronts thank you Alison for chiming in anybody else have a guess how many fronts how many BL lines how many rears and it's a trick question if you're watching this after the fact and you'll say I didn't see any rear crosses um all I saw three rear cross three three rear crosses all of them were thread rears so I know I'm talking a technical jargon and once you are in handling 360 all of this will be like a new language to you right so Chelsea who is here who is a horse person but she works here at uh at secret headquarters she's one of the key people here that help keep the ship flying and Chelsea's a horse person so when we talk about you know blinds and backside rears and she's like what language are you people speaking right now I'm learning she is learning that's right um okay so I'm gonna leave that I F I saw four fronts five blinds and three uh three Rears could be wrong there could be there could be one more in there happened you know there a lot of them came right on top of each other okay so Vicki counted 10 in total so I got 12 um but I love that you're counting right and and for those of you who are watching this rewatch that clip and see if you can see what we're talking about uh and maybe if there's enough interest I'll do another live sometime before our registration closes for our programs on Wednesday night so maybe before then I'll come back and I'll slow it down and point out where all those crosses were uh were you just running or were you running in numerical order because I would have been extremely lost yes there is a sequence and every time you run a course the sequence changes so you have to memorize where you're going and run it in order absolutely because if you haven't memorized the sequence then you cannot guide your dog um I'm not sure what a a tandem turn is everybody has their own language but I think that might be a front cross followed by a blind cross and those will count as two crosses to me um okay so anybody so right now handling 360 if you go to our website it's $1,797 and you're going to go wow that's so much money but most people are

charging you like three or $400 per classroom we have six classrooms there so it's and it right now you can get it for $997 until Wednesday okay so I know at first you're G to go oh my gosh but if you agility especially in North America it's an investment I mean your entries are hundreds of dollars um a weekend and if you do you know one or two um trials stay home from one or two trials you have paid for your investment trialing is an expense education is an investment and this is what I try to tell people somebody sent me a text when I was in Germany I can't believe you would go to that expense uh just to go and play in um in Germany and I'm like well you would go to that expense to go to a world championship this is an investment what you're doing is an expense so save some expenses and create an investment for yourself that's going to pay in the future okay um is it possible to join h360 with a monthly I believe it is if you go to dogs that.com party then you will see um all that is possible um I don't know that you can do like it it can be broken up into I think four or six months I can't remember exactly what it is somebody on the team will probably tell me so that it's not like a one lump sum of course we give you an additional savings to get it down to 9.97 if you join um all at once and the really cool thing is with all of our programs we want you there because you know that we are the Educators for you that you know that you you you can see yourself you can see your dog learning in this program and if you join and for whatever reason something happens the finances aren't what they thought you don't even have to tell us why within there's a a um guarantee period is we want to make sure it's right fit for all of us and so during the guarantee period you can come and you can start the program and if you say before the guarantee period's up I something's come up and I have to get out you you don't have to explain why we'll give you all your money back all of your money now can't promise that your credit card will give you all your money back they might have some fees I don't know it depends on your country but we won't hold anything back 100% giving it back to you um look at that I didn't even know that you can choose 12 installments how cool is that right Robin traveling is an expense education is an investment absolutely I wish people would understand the difference and see that with dogs there are like you know dog beds guilty expense oh it's an investment in my dog's comfort you can't convince me of it okay any questions for me about about um so equipment very little until the higher levels and at the higher levels

then we recommend that you rent equipment somewhere else or if you decided you wanted to join somebody else's once you understand our program you can get up to probably our our third classroom the blueprint if you get when you get through blueprint um then you could join somebody's classroom you will be the star of anybody's agility class I promise you I promise you that okay any oh these are all the questions I I did not know I did not know if you join hanling 360 during this live or after the live right in the comments that you join because I want to give you a whoop whoop like I said this isn't me sugges this is me saying this is a fork in the road for your dogs Clarity and understanding the support of dog agility I don't care I know that you know that I can coach I think you've seen we've had so many students that have written in the comments I know that you know our program works this can be our poster child but look at profit so I think you have confidence in me and in the program write a yes in the comments if you can say I have confidence in program I have confidence in in your ability to coach so write a yes in the program if that is you all right now the next two critical questions do you believe in your dog do you believe your dog would be able to learn how to do agility I mean I started with a dog who was almost two years old and wouldn't do a jump in a tunnel you all are going to be miles ahead of there all right so you believe you believe in my ability to coach you believe in our program and you believe in your dog I love that the last and this is the hardest one for so many people do you believe you're worth it do you believe in yourself and that's one that you're going to have to sit and quiet and give yourself some Grace and say I do I do deserve this I am worth it I will do it and that's what you have to go through all right I promise you there is there is nothing when you get in you're going to say oh my I can't believe I waited so long all right uh why do you say rap multiple times as a q instead of just one Q I'll get to that that's called a um a continuous queue um can you work more than one dog these are great questions yes you we are educating you so if you have two dogs you are welcome and it's not like a regular classroom in-person classroom if you were going to come here I don't do inperson classrooms anymore but if I if you were going to come here you would have to pay per dog but online we're educating you so if you want to train two dogs and put videos in if you'd like us to see your work of two dogs have at it have at it absolutely um we it's it's one person

that we are educating that's it and then however many dogs you've got should I start homeschool the dog or recolors with a puppy that's from I think it's black dogs or Blake dogs absolutely recallers with a puppy that's that that that is a year of us helping you to make sure your dog turns out to be amazing uh how do you get such tight turns well part of it is the mechanics of my handling part of it is the layers of learning and part of it is the genetics of the dog but every dog I've ever run in the sport of dog agility has had tight turns so I think and none of those dogs well I guess some of them have been slightly related but they haven't been related to each other some of them were Terriers I haven't run the bulldog in agility but uh and I his turns might not be that tight I would I would imagine but so I think it's the mechanics that we teach you how you handle and it's the layers of understanding that we teach you um when I turn into my girl she will just switch the other side we're gonna help you with that I like recallers do I need the others J Jamay if you have an interest in dog agility that's when you should come and join us in handling 360 if you don't have a an interest in dog agility then stay keep keep enjoying the recallers community um but we do have people that um have never seen agility and join Rec handling 360 just because they like training their uh things with their dogs why do you have a plastic cone around the cone um ninja secret I'm sharing with you right now ninja secret okay I don't know if I can do my ninja secret demonstration though uh okay I don't even if a cone I don't even have a cone okay so let's say this is a cone you see the see how wide that is there and you see how wide it is at the top right so it's far far narrower at the top than at the bottom so when a dog is wrapping and if they're going fast they're going to start to lean in and when they lean in they're going to learn to hit the wing of jump we don't want them to learn that so that little plastic creates a barrier where they don't learn to lean in there you go extra little ninja secret um I'm putting is you're not putting more on here that I've just thrown in that was your start and I'm okay um why do you say rrap multiple times as a que instead of just once so in dog agility we encourage people people if because it's a distance send that if it's a um a distance send where maybe we're asking for collection which that is we will use a multi multi uh CU so if you just say wrap and you're sending the dog 20 feet but we're asking for collection it's more difficult if you did that on one Cube so if I said

tunnel from 20 30 40 feet it's extension and you can repeat that but that one isn't as important but if you want collection then we tend to use repeating cues for those um and it and it helps differentiate cues right so our what you will learn in handling 360 is you can't teach cues when the dogs's running as fast as they can and need processing time goes like that you saw a profit if your cues were J weave Tunnel right left you're you're putting all the responsibility on the dog to differentiate at maximum speed they they're going to either fail or they're going to slow down so we teach you to be cognizant of the Cadence and the tone as well as the words so my cues for my dogs would be something like we and and and and you see I just gave you a bunch of different cues that my dog doesn't have to listen to any sep word like sit down stand your dog's not running as fast as they can when you say those words in a very calm way in agility because and again we do things differently here because we were the first to have a verbal based program so we figured out how dogs learn the best and how they can um be successful responding at top speeds to the cues that we use that was an excellent question uh my dog gets excited hearing your cues Prophet woke up and said what are we doing what do you want I can do it right now uh probably today Tori the new cues are uh coming into h360 I bet you by tomorrow anyway but possibly even today I don't know honestly I thought they would have been in by now so they will be there any minute okay any other questions for me yes is there any age where it isn't good to start agility training I have a four-year-old rescue lab we are in recallers but haven't moved too fast she needs confidence I was told outside of this group not to start agility training until she had more confidence so that's a great question agility training actually is a brilliant way to grow confidence in a dog so somebody who would say don't do agility with your dog they're not confident enough that tells me the way they are teaching dog agility is in a way that grows the confidence remember I talked talked about our then diagram and what we want is in the middle our program helps you to grow that confidence and we don't move forward so for example if I had joined agility or handling 360 with FY when she was a four-month old puppy I wouldn't have progressed very far in a year but I would have got a amazing value for the time that I spent because I would have grown her confidence now if ID waited till my dog who didn't have confidence and she was dealing with a with a digestive issue as well but if I said I'm not going to do

any agility until you're a two-year-old dog she's not going to be that different than she was as a four-month-old dog she's just now learned uh a set way of going in relation to working with me and so I love agility as a way to help grow a dog's confidence so my advice to you is join handling 360 you have I'm not sure how long our our guarantee is but at least two weeks to jump in and really um start start evaluating some of the uh evaluations that we have start learning start teaching your dog start playing some of the games you'll see for yourself a difference in your dog uh okay could you show the V diagram one more time yeah you guys you should that's another thing to screen cap come on so let me just turn my camera over can small dogs do agility my dogs are 10 pounds okay I'll bring that closer for you can you guys see that okay there's a ven diagram safety is the foundation behind enjoy Clarity and confidence um can small dogs do agility abolutely there's height classes for all kinds of sh sizes and shapes and um I guess I worked him really hard so he's back to his meditative State 30-day guarantee holy smokes guys you can come in and start working your dog in the program today and make a decision a month from now if if this is really the right place for you I think you're going to decide absolutely it is wow see I am the dog trainer I don't know the details um okay okay any other questions for me what's the difference between handling 360 and Agility Nation so the difference between handling 360 and agil ination handling 360 is a series of classrooms so we we start with really helping the dog balance your dog's drive and um focus so if you have a dog who's not very focused we really work on that so there's um so then and then you move on to the next classroom which is all about flat workor some most of the things that I showed you here are from the second classroom and from there then we go into teaching some of the skills with um in in with two jumps and that's a blueprint and then we go into so there there you get lesson plans you do things in a very specific order in handling 360 it is a yearlong coaching program now agility Nation is about teaching specific skills that are not related to handling so it's about teaching your dog how to weave how to do a seesaw it's about Fitness there's a fitness section in there it's about there's there's every every month in agility Nation I do a virtual Workshop so that you know you might spend a couple hundred dollars to go to somebody's Workshop you get one a month in agility Nation on a different topic it might be on um training puppies it might be on jump skills it might be on

tight turns it might be on um the one I'm working on right now is about um weaving skills so you dogs weaving but maybe they're popping poles or missing entries they don't like it when you we when you cross behind um they're not fast enough so that's what this month so agility nation is an alicart thing you might be working on your dog's ground speed or your dog's ability to um have a start line like you your dogs not not staying at the start line that's all in agility nation which is why um a lot of people decide to buy them together because you might say well Susan I really need to fix my dog start line but um I want to really grow agility my dog's understanding of of handling CU so I so I stop wasting all my money going to trials and not qualifying well then you would get the bundle where you'd get both agility donation and handling 360 if you have to decide hand L 360 for sure is the way to go okay agility Nation I don't know there's probably 600 different things in there you could work on and I'm not exaggerating because agility nation has been around 10 years maybe more than 10 years now and so there's four topics every month for 10 years do do that math what is that that's like 480 but there's more than that I think there's close to 600 now uh I taught stop contacts before I did research now I want to change to running contacts as this possible absolutely Tor absolutely a lot of people do that and I don't think it's a bad thing you can actually maintain your stopped contacts and teach your running contacts um we have to break them for a bit while we're TR making that transfer but yes a lot of people make that that transition um okay any other any other questions please leave me a comment when you've joined Hanley 360 or agility Nation or the combo let me know because I want to be the first to welcome you uh and let you know like I know this is an investment but if you go to dog that.com party you scroll down you will see all kinds of our students who have who have shared their experiences um on that page on the dog that.com party click on agility nation and or handling 360 and you'll see that um what is the weight a dog uh I think it's three pounds is that dogs a dog should be three pounds um before they'll tip a seesaw might be two and a half I think it's three do you know roughly how many environments you took this to to help build her confidence um how many environments that it's it's not even done it's end L it's endless to grow her confidence more so it's not really about the environment it's about growing outrageous bomb prooof confidence at home and then going to one environment

what people think is like oh my I'll get my dog to retrieve in 500 environments and then they'll get used to all those environments that's not what we want we want to create Clarity joy and confidence um outrageous in one room of your house then go to another room then go to your backyard then go to your front yard all around the house all around the house maybe one other environment I sure did take this to others and and it's always growing it's always different so it's but don't think in terms of if you get if you blow up the clarity and the joy and the confidence out outrageously it's almost like it doesn't matter what environment you put it in now within reason I mean I think the footing for this see that was what I I I I'm like you're going to learn on grass you're going to learn on Turf you're going to learn on dirt so in agility those are the three that you might be faced with so it's more like the um and did when I went to my first multi ring event she was like oh what is going on here but um that was for like her first run and then she was like oh I remember it's agility okay we go I have we have a one-year-old border col should we start agility training now Peter possibly um but here's here's the really good news we have a dog training guarantee in handling 360 where if I say to you Peter I think you should join handling 360 and you get in there and your dog won't bring bring back the toy and your dog we can't build Focus for the uh equipment because your dog keeps leaving then we're going to say Peter we need to suggest we put a dog a pause on your membership and then we're going to uh get you into recallers because your dog's relationship and focus for work isn't where it needs to be then we'll bring you back over into handling 360 so that's our dog training guarantee is that we'll pause the one classroom you join another classroom you get what you might I'm Peter your dog might be brilliant right now so you could jump into handling 360 and go because we do have a stream for um puppy training in handling 360 um but if you have to decide if you think your dog needs a better recall if your dog needs to ignore distraction then honestly recallers is the best place so if your dog has those skills absolutely you can join today okay uh can I do h360 with my dog with minimal equipment absolutely all the way up to the third classroom and then we'll we'll suggest like you need I think it's the fourth classroom that you need uh three jumps and two tunnels or you need to go somewhere you can rent space in somebody's Hall okay J Jose Jose says the agility combo is fantastic I wish I had it last year I
