Go-Get-’Em Agility Podcast

Episode 65: Organizations - What's the Difference? There are lots of agility organizations to trial in, here are a just a few of the differences between them.

Episode 64: Playing It Safe  ** Playing it safe versus always trying for correct may leave you never knowing how much your dog actually knows. Take a chance and go for more distance, more distraction, more duration...you never know, your dog just may be able to handle it and offer you a new level of training. But you'll never know if you don't try. Give it a try, even at the risk of your dog being incorrect. P.S. Pay for effort.

Episode 63: Agility and Jumping - What's the Difference?   ** Starting a mini series called What's the Difference where I talk about the difference between random agility topics that jump into my head or students have asked me.

Episode 62: What Top Handlers Cultivate  ** Top Handlers don't have a secret that makes them great, they have a relationship with their dog, a working understanding of trust and safety. And so can you!

In light of the great write up by Iwona Golab, I am republishing Episode 8 on relationship building.  There is more and maybe I'll put another podcast together, but I think this is a good episode to revisit.

Episode 61: End Routines  ** Dogs thrive on routines and making an end routine noteworthy will help strengthen your dog's feelings toward the hard work and the reward they need and want for their hard work. Want more, reward more, strategically with connection and duration.  

Episode 60: Putting It All Together  ** The final podcast in Margaret's Beginning Agility Foundation Workbook series. 

Episode 58.5: Verbal Cue Memorization  ** Apologies, this is a short add-on to Episode 58 about verbal cues.  I forgot to talk about how I remember to use them. 

Episode 58: Verbal Cues ** Continuing on the Beginning Foundation Agility Workbook, section F, Verbal Cues.

Episode 57: Equipment ** Section E of my Beginning Agility Workbook is dedicated to Equipment. From the moment a dog begins working on, around, in or over equipment I am focused on clarity the dog has for the equipment, confidence on, in or over the equipment, independence and speed. 

Episode 52: Recall to Heel  **Part 1 - Section A of Margaret's foundation exercises she works with her own dog and her students.  Part of Linda Mecklenburg's Jump Training - Recalls to Heel: 1. Recall to Collection 2. Recall to Extension 3. Recall to Backup
