Canine High Jinks Elissa Looney & Whitney Taylor

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 😆

Episode 38: Learning About Rehoming a Dog

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.
