Time: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
Are you a leader? Leaders know when to provide a “sure path” to success for their dogs and do not allow them to flounder in uncertainty or emotional distress. Leaders are engaged with their dog’s well being; sincerely praising good choices and intervening quickly when bad choices are highly likely! Developing your skills of leadership will improve your training, carry over into competition, and gives your dog direction in the face of emotional distress. Leadership will give your dog confidence in you, which in turn allows them to develop confidence in themselves. Best of all, you can learn to be a leader!

Bronagh Daly - Control Unleashed for the Ringside: Agility Ringside Skills
Date: Thursday, August 1st, 2024
Time: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
Does your dog get amped up while waiting their turn? Stressed? Frustrated? Do they have trouble focusing before entering the ring or are they focused on something else like the dog running before them or the hustle and bustle around them?
Ringside skills can be paramount for your team's overall agility performance and they're very often overlooked. They may not be quite as fun to work on as handling or obstacle training, but they're just as important! Waiting itself can be really challenging and even make no sense to a lot of dogs. So waiting their turn at a trial, class, or seminar can be extremely challenging with the added feelings-inducing commotion around them.
This webinar will focus on the skills you need to help make the excitement and chaos of the waiting area feel more predicable and approachable. Utilizing exercises from Control Unleashed, you will leave this webinar with an actionable plan help your team walk from the waiting area to the gate of the ring with a level head.

Caden Cristopher - Radius Training: The Invisible Long Line
Date: Thursday, August 8th, 2024
Time: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
Imagine you are comfortable with your dog anywhere between 0 and 50 feet from you when you’re out in public - but no further than that. You want your dog to know this, and choose to stay within a 50-foot radius around you even if you don't "make" them stay close by micromanaging them with a long line or constantly calling them back.
Radius training teaches your dog the concept of where they can be in relation to you. A dog who understands their radius well will move around you freely, but stay aware of where you are. They will check in and keep an eye on you. They will slow down when they are ahead of you and about to overstep, or speed up when they are behind you. They will change directions with you, and at the same time enjoy a lot of freedom to sniff and run within the radius. It’s like an invisible long line.
The concept of the radius is useful for both walking and hiking off leash, and on a long line without pulling. In the latter case, the line becomes a safety feature like a seatbelt rather than the reason that keeps your dog from running off. What keeps your dog from running off is the concept of the radius, just like what keeps you from getting into a car accident isn’t the seatbelt - it is your awareness of your car in space. Staying on the road rather than driving off a cliff is a skill that eventually runs on autopilot for experienced drivers. The same goes for your dog staying in their radius.
Join Caden in this webinar to learn how to teach your dog this useful concept, and make your off-leash or long line adventures stress-free and enjoyable for both you and your dog!
