Let's Teach Some Tricks!

"I recommend this course to anyone that does agility with their dog (and even if you just want to have fun with your non-agility dog!). Watching the videos is fun and not hours long like some other online agility training. This is a fun course, keeps your attention, and makes you want to work with your dog right away. Highly recommend!" - Thyra P.

  

Who is this course for?

I started putting together some lessons for a friend and student who was competing with her newer dog, but had some gaps in her foundation that were causing significant problems both in practice and on course.

Instead of causing her dog frustration by working on basics around the agility equipment when the dog really wanted to go, go, go, she started working on “tricks” at home that would help her solve the problems on the field.

What she was having trouble with wasn’t unique. I’ve seen dozens of teams with the same struggles, and as the lessons were created, I realized that EVERY dog should have these tricks included in their training, whether they are pets, just starting out in dog sports, or are already competing. These are things I’ve taught every single one of my dogs.

Essential Tricks for Agility Dogs is ideal for:

  • People just starting out on their agility journey
  • Experienced handlers with new dogs or puppies*
  • Teams who are competing but need to fill a gap or brush up on basics
  • People who want a fun way to bond with their dog while they are stuck inside

* A few tricks are not puppy-safe, but the foundations can be taught

Join us on a training adventure that is fun for you AND your dog!

 

Through the years of teaching agility classes and seminars, I’ve consistently seen agility teams, new and experienced, struggling with the same things:

* Getting in sync with body language and cues
* Lining up together at the start of an exercise
* Maintaining control at the start line and on course
* Missing out on tools that can help teach distance and other skills
* Creating independence from the beginning of training

This course will help you solve those issues and more.

Here's What Students Had to Say

Kristen G.

"Lorrie is an outstanding instructor that breaks everything down into manageable lessons. She provides specific feedback and troubleshooting along the way. I always look forward to Lorrie's new classes and offerings!"

Simone P.

“Lorrie has a great way to teach, comment and motivate. Basics are not boring even if you know them for ages. This course does not only fit for agility dogs, but for every dog. Highly recommended.”

Hi!  I’m Lorrie Reynolds.  I’ve been involved with dog agility since 2002, and started teaching tricks, weekly agility, and family obedience classes along with weekend distance seminars in 2005.  

This online course is based on my experience with hundreds of students who just needed a few tricks to tune up their skills.  

All of my agility dogs learn these tricks and practice them throughout their careers. They helped my dogs learn to learn, gave me insight into their learning styles, and provided fun activities for us to do together to strengthen our bond. Join us in the fun!

“This is a fabulous course for all dogs at all levels. Quinn is nearly 7 and competes at a high level in agility, many of these lessons were awesome for him. Opie is a puppy and the tricks are a great foundation for future agility training!" - Carol E.

 

"ETAD was fun, educational, positive, and my dogs, young and old, loved the games. Highly recommended for experienced dogs to find new tools or young dogs (puppies) as a primer for more agility." - Loni G.

The Benefits of Online Learning for Dog Tricks

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 to work on exercises

* Less expensive (by far!) than traveling to a seminar and staying in a hotel, paying for gas, and buying meals out

* Learn at your pace instead of the group’s.  Feeling motivated?  Once lessons are released, 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 or you didn't quite understand it until you tried it yourself

* The Course Workbook provides a place to take notes, and the pause button on the video gives you time to get it done

* Written answers to your questions to look back on so you're not stuck, stumped, and unable to remember what the instructor said when you asked two weeks ago
