From Stiff to Swift: WarmUps for Agility Handlers
Warm-ups aren’t optional — they’re your performance insurance policy.
In this episode, I break down how a simple, strategic warm-up can transform your first run from stiff and sluggish to powerful and precise.
You’ll learn:
How long you should be warming up
How often you need to warm up, and how long a warm up lasts
What if you're running multiple dogs?
Why walking the course is NOT a warm-up (and what to do instead)
The science-backed sequence that activates your reaction speed, balance, and focus
Quick fixes for trial mornings when you feel rushed or tired
Should you warm up before the dog, or after
Bottom line: Warm-ups aren’t just about feeling “ready” — they give you faster reaction times, better precision, and fewer injuries. And the best part? The right routine takes less than 5 minutes.
Grab your free “Agility Handler Warm-Up” eBook with step-by-step photos and modifications for every fitness level. You’ll have a routine you can start using at your very next trial — no guesswork.
