Working Out But Not Getting Better? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you're working out consistently but still not getting faster, stronger or more athletic, you may not need to work harder. You may need your workouts to have clearer jobs. In this episode, I'm bringing you inside a recent coaching call with a handler who was already doing A LOT right. She was strong, fit, consistent and training six days a week. The problem wasn't effort. Her legs were constantly tired, her progress had stalled, and the things she wanted most, more speed, athleticism and bette
What If You Were Faster Than Your Agility Course Required? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’re already running as fast as you possibly can to make a handling position, what happens when you suddenly need another gear? In this episode, we’re talking about speed reserve, physical capacity, and why getting faster isn’t about outrunning your dog.

In this episode, I'm putting on my coaching hat and helping you look at your handling from a different perspective. We'll talk about some of the most common physical limitations I see in agility handlers, how to start figuring out your weak link, and one thing you can work on for each. Because the
Are You Actually Warming Up Your Team? with Laurren Bastian (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You warm up your dog before you run, but are you actually preparing BOTH athletes on your team for what's about to happen? And does a quick walk around really count as a warm-up? This week I'm joined by canine fitness expert Laurren Bastian to talk about what a good agility warm-up is actually supposed to accomplish for your dog and your own body. We're talking about what should happen between standing around and stepping into the ring, how long a warm-up really needs to take, what happens when
