In today’s episode, Whitney and Elissa are joined once again by Sarah Baker, multi-time world team member with dogs at 24”, 16” and 12”. With Sarah’s experience as a guide, the trio discuss the differences between running and training large and small dogs. There are lots of things to consider and we fear we may have missed a few things! If so, let us know in the comments!
Link to the treats Sarah mentions:
Pupford Sweet Potato Freeze-Dried Treats
Course design is ever a hot topic. Join us as we discuss with Ashley Deacon.

Today’s tough question, how do you know if you should retire your young(er) dog from agility? We may wander off track here and there, but you know, it’s all about dogs and agility 😆

All about startlines!
Peyton Green, agility instructor at Corral Creek Dog Sport Center, talks through obstacle commitment: how to build it, test it and fix it when you broke it. We dive into the difference between sending, and opposite handler motion and what this means for distance handling. And...maybe why those verbals aren't the salve you thought they were.
Whitney and Elissa tackle a big topic...feedback. We get it from each other, our instructors, our dogs. We give it, maybe when we shouldn't. Listen in as we walk through many of the permutations of feedback and how we can maybe be a bit better at it overall.
It's here! Our long awaited episode that we recorded all the back in May of 2023. This episode has a bit of a different flavor since we are sitting outside under a canopy of trees surrounded by fellow agility competitors.
We are so grateful to Sarah for joining us for this episode, so many pearls of wisdom in this one. If you want more of Sarah's wisdom, you can find her blog, Agility Odyssey, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/agilityodyssey
