Agility Handler Drills DVD |
 |

 |
|
 Many agility handlers have very little background in any sport requiring eye-hand or eye-foot coordination and some have no sports background at all. By not developing these skills an important component of agility training is missing. But, what is the best way to learn these needed skills?
It is much easier for handlers to develop the required footwork and coordination when you can concentrate on yourself without the added responsibility of the dog. As you gain confidence, your skills become more natural and their overall performance improves.
Agility Handler Drills are simple exercises for handlers at any level. They develop skills and improve timing and, with repetition, allow footwork to become fluid and smooth and “automatic.”
These drills are perfect for the winter months when you are unable to train as often as you'd like.

101 Things to do with Contact Obstacles Card Pack |

|
|
Why do you need 101 Contacts?
From novice courses to World Championships, contact equipment can be found on every standard agility course.
Having confidence that your dog will properly execute these obstacles each and every time you run, allows you to focus on other areas of the course.
In practice, handlers often perform the obstacles in isolation or set sequences that are comfortable. Whether you have running or stationary contacts, 101 Things To Do With Contact Obstacles is designed to give you an assortment of sequences to practice and perfect your contact performance creating that winning performance. |
"Proofing Against All Temptation"
Frequently a handler must move ahead or laterally while the dog is performing an obstacle in order to set up the next sequence. Having confidence that the dog will stay in the desired position is of tremendous benefit when creating a handling strategy for the run.
For years we have listened to clients tell us that their dogs know how to stay in a specific position. We immediately countered with "Yeah, but will he stay if you swing a dead cat in front of him?" It was a rare occasion when we could not entice the dog to break his stay. We began to realize that our clients did not have a consistent plan for proofing thier stays in agility. These proofing exercises were designed to provide our clients with a systematic method for proofing stays on the start line, at the table, and on contact obstacles.
First in a series of reference card packs, "Proofing Against All Temptation" is a series of proofing exercises for start line stays, stays on the table, and stationary contact behaviors. A set of 20 training cards with over 400 proofing exercises that takes the handler through 4 stages of training. The cards are in an unbound format to allow portability while working in the field. |
