The Agility Connection Fanny Gott

Thomas and Fanny talk about how to teach a reliable start line stay, and what common mistakes that makes agility start lines so hard for a lot of dogs and people.

How do we use shaping and offered behaviors in agility? What are the benefits of using shaping rather than luring or prompting?

This spring, Fanny and Thomas are getting two puppies that hopefully will make their way onto the agility field. One working bred border collie who also will run sheepdog trials, one working cocker spaniel who also will hunt and compete in field trials. We discuss what our priorities are for puppy training, the differences between the breeds, and how to prepare for doing multiple activities with the same dog.
