Do you know what your dog really craves from you on course?
It isn't information about what to do now, it is direction for what you want them to do NEXT.
When you use turn signals while driving your car, you let other drivers know what you plan to do next, not what you are doing now.
Consistent footwork with appropriate timing is the key to a happy, consistent dog on the agility course. When your dog lands in the path for the next on-course obstacle, because your feet set the new line on time, you are:
- Cueing the dog on approach (not yelling a recall when they land)
- Protecting their body (instead of straining it)
- Enabling the dog to increase their speed (who can go faster without clear instructions?)
- Allowing your brain to focus on what is most needed (instead of feeling frantic)
- Being proactive (instead of reactive)
The cues I focus on when handling and teaching are those represented by FAME:
- Feet
- Arms
- Mouth
- Eyes
You'll learn why it's FEET FIRST!

"This course has been AWEsome so far, exactly what I need right now! and the Q&A webinar was extremely useful. Thank you!" —Louise
"I learned so much! Going back and watching old videos, my footwork sucks LOL! I knew footwork matters, but never realized how much and how much correct footwork does help. I have been practicing with and without my dog, videoing and watching my feet and head. Getting better, but so much to be aware of. Thank you for this fantastic, eye opening series. I will continue to practice and look at my feet and head as I review my videos." —Cathy
"I am loving this course! You have such a great teaching style and I really appreciate the way you break down each movement to help the coordinationally challenged amongst us!" —Leslie
"I wanted to thank you for this class. I have taken so many classes and spent so much money it's not even funny. I learned more in your class than I've ever learned in any other online class. I have recommended your class to anyone who will listen. The results were almost immediate. I have struggled with the first 3 obstacles forever and just by moving my feet we got the first 3 obstacles every time since. It's crazy. We have been trialing AKC local trials for a year (with Covid taking around 4 months) without ever qualifying. It was so disheartening to know I was doing something wrong but couldn't put my finger on it. So last weekend we Q'd and took 1st place in 2 runs." —Suzi
