“The best and most professional introduction to distance handling I have ever seen.“ - Barb Y.
Join us on a grand adventure!
The first course in the Agility FUNdamentals for Distance series will give you a solid understanding of:
- Why distance is a critical skill for every agility venue
- Which cues are most important to your dog (and which aren’t)
- The five skills that are essential to working at a distance
After you’ve learned the principles behind distance handling, you’ll put the theories into action by using fun games and exercises to create a confident dog who can complete an obstacle and maintain your criteria no matter where you are or what you are doing.
“User friendly with big results! Easy to track progress through the workbook and module videos. Great exercises to practice and even videos to help troubleshoot some sequences!” - Kristen G.
Sounds great! But I bet it's a lot of money...
A lot of money? No.
A lot of value? YES!

All for less than the cost of most weekend seminars
Join now $197“...a great course for anyone just starting out who would like to better understand the fundamentals of agility and distance. I would also recommend this course for anyone who may already be competing but would like to improve their distance skills.” - Melissa J.
My first agility dog was a natural, and he was fast. I was…not. I had to learn the hard way and make many mistakes before I developed a system that worked for running him at a distance. It’s been refined and tested on my subsequent agility dogs and many students’ dogs.
Here's What Students Had to Say
Barb Y.
“The presentation is awesome. The demonstration videos, while using exaggerated…body positioning, really allowed the skill to be very clear. The course organization was logical. I like the what, why and how format.”
Kristen G.
“Lorrie is a calm, patient instructor with a gift for problem solving. This course was easy to follow and a great way to begin distance from the ground up. The workbook helped to track progress and ensure we were pacing in a good way. The exercises were easy to set up and practice, and the troubleshooting videos supported exactly what we were running into, so it was easier to fix. Having been to several of Lorrie's [in-person] seminars with other dogs, I knew I would be able to follow along with this course with my young dog despite me being more of a hands-on/in-person learner. This course is FANTASTIC!”
Melissa J.

Enroll Now $197Hi! I’m Lorrie Reynolds. I’ve been involved with dog agility since 2002, and started teaching weekly agility and family obedience classes along with weekend distance seminars in 2005.
This online course is based on my in-person distance seminars that have been helping students since 2005. It includes all of the material about independent performance that I wish I had time to teach over a weekend.
After struggling to keep up with my first agility dog, and developing a system that worked for him and hundreds of students, I wanted to make it available to more people, so you can enjoy the same successful agility career, and have FUN doing it!

The Benefits of Online Learning
While learning in person has its advantages, online training has a lot going for it!
* No driving for ½ hour or more, just to have two or three short turns on the course
* Less expensive (by far!) than traveling to a seminar and staying in a hotel, especially with the current gas prices
* Learn at your pace instead of the group’s. Feeling motivated? Knock out 3 or 4 exercises in one session! Dog not up to training today? Spend your time playing with him and make it up tomorrow
* You can rewatch the video if you missed an essential concept
* The Course Workbook provides a place to take notes, and the pause button on the video gives you time to get it done
* Downloadable exercise maps let you revisit them in the future as your team gains experience and confidence
* Written answers to your questions to look back on
