This one is so funny.

I am holding both your hands, or air cupping them, and making enough eye contact to convey sincerity without making it uncomfortable when I say this.

You and your dog do not ever have to have plans to compete to enjoy agility. You can take classes just for fun. Dog sports are meant to be another way to connect with your dog.

When clients tell me they haven't or were hesitant to sign up for agility classes with me because competition is not the goal/not likely it makes me so sad. Trials/competing is not the be all end all.

I am wishing you all instructors who value joy and connection over ribbons and titles. That's not to say I don't want achievements for those pursuing them. If you want to get there, I want to help you get there! But please don't lose the plot for the aesthetics.

#dogblr #dog training #dog agility #this was inspired by #a client who told me their dog loves backyard agility #but they've never considered classes because he's nervous and they thought a trial would be too overwhelming #agility is my sport so that's the focus #but I feel this across the wide range of dog sports #safety is obviously important #but joy and improving the relationship should be right behind that

Lovely photos from this weekend

Agility competition last week was so, so rough. Pumpkin did not perform well. This 4-H project though—these people are incredible! The person in charge sat down with E this week and provided some practical suggestions on what to do differently to help both she and Pumpkin move forward.

Today they competed in showmanship and obedience. Our dog, who last week ate an entire bag of hot dog buns off the counter, placed second in obedience. Last year, they didn’t place at all in showmanship. This year, they took first. Woot! Then they got to compete for grand champion. E didn’t win, but again, the judge was so helpful and kind in taking time to explain to E what she needed to do differently.

E came home happy. Pumpkin came home tired. It’s a win for both.

I woke up at 5 this morning because I was feeling anxious about all of it. I’m now home prepping for a 7:30am virtual meeting followed by a 45 minute commute for a full day of in-person meetings.
