🐾 Do you ever feel like your dog just doesn’t hear you when you need them to come in on a converging line?
👉 Maybe your dog blasts right past your cue…
👉 Or they read it too late and crash into the wrong line…
👉 Or worse—they second-guess you because your timing feels unclear.

It’s frustrating. You’re working hard, but instead of connection, you’re left with wide turns, dropped bars, and missed opportunities on course.

💥 That’s why I created my upcoming clinic:

“Stay With Me: Mastering the Converging Line Cue”
📅 September 13, 2025

In this clinic, we’ll break down the exact strategies to fix these struggles:
🔹 How to time your cue so your dog reads it instantly
🔹 Motion vs. verbal clarity—knowing what your dog actually listens to
🔹 Games to strengthen your “in” cue without confusion
🔹 Building trust so your dog chooses you when pressure builds

🐶 Imagine running a course where your dog effortlessly pulls in to you, tight and confident, without hesitation. That’s the power of a clear converging line cue.

🕘 Time: Approx. 4:30pm to 8:00pm
💲 Cost: $98.00
⚡ Spots are limited to 5 teams

🏃‍♀️💨 Is your dog too fast for you to keep up with on course? OR
👀🐕 Do you struggle with getting any distance from your dog?

So many handlers struggle with:

➡️ A dog that outruns them, leaving them stuck behind.

➡️ No reliable distance skills, so they feel forced to babysit every obstacle.

➡️ Layering challenges where the dog pulls off or disconnects.

➡️ Feeling stressed instead of confident when handling fast sequences.

You don’t have to run like an Olympic sprinter to succeed in agility.

🚀 The key is teaching your dog distance and layering skills so they can confidently work ahead of you while still staying connected.

✨ That’s exactly what we’ll train at my Layering & Distance Clinic – September 14, 2025 ✨

In this focused clinic, we’ll cover:

✔️ How to build independence so your fast dog drives ahead with confidence
✔️ Training games for layering jumps & tunnels without losing connection
✔️ Strengthening verbals so you can “steer from afar”
✔️ Handling strategies that give you more options (even when you can’t keep up!)

📅 Date: 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟰, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱
📍 Location: Crystal River, FL
🕒 3.5 hours of hands-on coaching

Worth noting!!

In conclusion, this study shows that the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs is linked to how long they are exposed to natural s*x hormones, and the relationship isn’t simple or linear. The highest risk was seen when females were spayed before about 1054 days (just under 3 years) and males before about 805 days (a little over 2 years). These results may help define what counts as “early” spay or neuter when it comes to cranial cruciate ligament disease risk.

Veterinary reproduction specialists now recommend hormone-preserving sterilization: preventing unwanted litters & less risk of torn cruciates.

🚨 Feeling stuck in your agility foundation training? 🚨

🐾You’ve built a foundation, but things are starting to fall apart and you are worried your foundation isn't strong enough.

🐾 Losing focus when distractions show up?

🐾You feel like progress is stalling, losing control and worried you’ll run into bigger problems later.

🐾 You have too much handler or obstacle focus?

👉💡 The truth is you are NOT alone: many handlers hit this exact stage. And it’s not because you’ve failed — it’s because your dog needs the next layer of foundation to grow their confidence, focus, and skills.

✅ Clearer communication

✅ Rock-solid contacts
✅ Engagement even with distractions
✅ Drilling down to the nut and bolts of handling cues.
💬 Plus weekly Zoom feedback so you’re never left guessing!
