🎧 New Podcast Episode: What If You're the Reason Agility Feels Unsafe for Your Dog?

I know. Oof. But hear me out.

This one’s for the handlers carrying anxiety into the ring — the ones who second-guess every choice and worry more about what might go wrong than what their dog actually needs.

If agility feels unpredictable, overwhelming, or like it brings out the worst in both of you… this one’s going to hit home.

💥 Real talk
💡 No shame
🐾 Just some honest reflections to help you reconnect with your dog — and yourself.

🎙️ Listen now ⬇️

Do you have an agility dog you love running — but feel constantly worried about how they’re going to react in new or busy environments?

Does that worry stop you from entering shows?
Or make you avoid certain venues, workshops, or group classes because you’re scared something will go wrong?

I’ve been there.
For years, I deliberately avoided training Quest at Dog Sports Derby — because he’s an anxious dog who poos when adrenaline hits. And I knew that in a high-pressure environment, it could all fall apart.

And I’ve watched, for four years, as others trained there, ran shows, did workshops like it was no big deal — and I’d be lying if I said that didn’t cause some frustration.

But I also knew: throwing Quest in and hoping for the best wouldn’t be fair on him — or on me.

So instead, I worked patiently and consistently on the framework we needed.

👉 I built up his confidence.
👉 I gave him the tools to handle pressure.
👉 I built my understanding of what triggered my own nerves and what helped me feel grounded.

And finally this month? We ran at DSD — confidently 💪.

If you’re avoiding certain environments or situations with your dog, it doesn’t mean you’ll always have to. You might just need a better framework and support system to get there — and that’s exactly what I teach inside my Anxious to Amazing course.

🧩🧩Doors are open now.🧩🧩
We start 14th July.
You and your dog deserve to run with confidence.

🌪️🌪️ What a whirlwind that was. 🌪️🌪️..But here’s the thing… it wasn’t luck!

It wasn’t chasing perfection.

It was the result of putting in the right kind of work — at the right time — for this dog.

Now let me ask you this 👇

🐾 Are you stepping into the ring with an anxious dog and just hoping for the best?

🐾 Do they shut down, sniff, freeze, or refuse to leave the start line?

🐾 Do you go home wondering what went wrong — again?

🐾 Or are you the one feeling sick with nerves before the run even starts?

🐾 Do you second-guess every decision and worry people are judging you?

✋️If any of that feels familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to stay stuck there.

💙 That’s exactly why I created From Anxious to Amazing — a 6-week course designed to give you the right building blocks for success for your team!

Not by doing more.

Not by pushing harder.

But by focusing on what actually matters!

🤯🤯 Right now, it’s just £57 for the full course — but there are only 2 spots left at that price. After that, the price will go up.

🏆If you’re serious about changing the way things feel in the ring this summer — for you and your dog — this is your sign to take action.

Be quick. These last places won’t hang around.

🧩Because if you’re not working on the right things — you could be doing more harm than good....

Let’s change that! ⬇️⬇️

This weekend was our first weekend running in full agility classes and not just jumping and steeplechase runs...

Quest had 4 agility runs where our only focus was confidence (I wasn't even looking for precise criteria) ...

It resulted in:

🏆🏆2 x clear first places

🥉1 x 3rd place (5f)

1 x unplaced 4th (10F)

🏆🥉He also took home a clear jumping win, another 3rd place in a jumping round and a clear unplaced 7th place in a grade 1-7 steeplechase against some very fast and experienced dogs.

Not bad eh?!

When I preach about doing things at the dogs pace, this is why!!

🤔Are you sabotaging your own success by doing too much too soon??

🤔Are you asking too much of your dog or even yourself??

Come and follow me on the page below, it is where I share my content these days, oh and the Elevate group, come on over 😀.

Let’s talk about something I didn’t even realise I was doing until recently — today even!

✨️Energetics ✨️

I’ve just recorded a brilliant podcast episode with Nina from — keep your eyes peeled for when it drops, it is a fantastic episode!

One of the things we explored in that chat was energetics in dog training.

And it hit me… this is something I’ve been using in my agility work for years — I just didn’t realise that’s what it was called.

🧩 For ages, I’ve described it as “relationship” — the feeling, the connection, the vibe between you and your dog. But if I’m honest, the word relationship never quite fit.

Why?

Because:

“Relationship” often sounds fixed — either good or bad

It can feel like a label, a judgement...

And it doesn’t capture the fluidity of what’s really going on!

✨️But energetics? That makes sense.✨️

Energy moves. It shifts between you and your dog. It reacts to your emotions, your thoughts, the atmosphere. It can change mid-run or mid-training session.

🎒 When I talk about emotional backpacks, handler and dog jigsaws, or how no two runs ever feel quite the same — I’ve also been talking about the energy too!

🧩 This is something I’ll be diving into much more over the next few months because it feels like a crucial — and often missed — piece of the puzzle for so many teams!

💬 Have you ever felt this too? Like you and your dog are just “off” one day, or totally in sync another — and it’s nothing to do with training?

That’s energetics.

Let’s talk about it on a deeper level over in my Elevate Group!

*Thank you Nina for a fantastic chat, and for letting me pinch your terminology 😀.
