Training is approached by students learning how to build on or enhance the natural chemistry they have with their dog. This results in them having a positive, fun way to influence their dog. Students develop a communication system that can be relied upon. The system includes verbal and physical cues used in and out of agility and strong 2-way communication is created during play and games. All of these tools are continually enhanced while navigating everyday life. Once chemistry and communication are working well together, students can then teach their dog the skills they desire with confidence.

Effective handling techniques are developed to ensure a reliable performance. Students learn how to communicate clearly with their dogs by developing a consistent verbal and physical language for cueing. The level of consistency that is practiced enables the dogs’ obstacle and directional skills to strengthen, not deteriorate. This is the key to navigating courses smoothly and efficiently.
