What you’ll learn

Over six months of guided lessons with set homework, you’ll master the core elements that every great agility team needs. Including:

• Forward focus – teach your dog to confidently drive ahead, even when you stop.

• Commitment – help your dog stay on task once they’ve read your cue.

• Obstacle focus – show your dog how to recognise and take obstacles independently.

• Handler focus – build understanding so your dog follows your movement naturally.

• Lead changes – Help your dog to move smoothly through the course and easily change leads as needed.

• Turns and crosses – learn flatwork for Lap Turns, Tandem Turns, Flick, Rear and Front Crosses, and more.

• Startline stays and tunnels – set your team up for clear, consistent runs.

Each skill builds on the last, helping you understand the “why” behind your dog’s responses and giving you confidence in every cue.

Train with guidance, not guesswork

Unlike self-study lessons, our Guided Courses include:

• A clear weekly plan that tells you exactly what to train and when

• A coach and community to share your progress with

• Personal feedback and motivation to keep you on track

You’ll see how small improvements in foundation work lead to big changes in your handling and connection.

Why foundations matter

Strong foundations are what make agility effortless. When your dog understands your cues and body language, you can focus on timing and teamwork rather than correction. It’s not about control, it’s about trust, communication, and that magical feeling when you and your dog move as two souls with one mind.
