I know what it feels like …

To look forward to an agility career that lies ahead of you and your new pup.

But you feel like you’re sitting on pins and needles at the same time.

Excited to start but impatient and unsure about what you can work on right now when your puppy is still young.

I’ve been where you stand right now!

I was ready to take on the world with my puppy Sante but had to wait until she was old enough.

Excited, but at the same time worried:

“What if I miss out on the most important developmental months of her life?”

“What if I don’t take advantage of her puppyhood enough?”

Sante is a puppy I kept from my beloved successful female.

She was born in our house and watching her grow up was an amazing experience.

She was a cute, fat-belly, hamster for a while.

Then she started to show her true crazy personality pretty fast. 

Once her siblings were gone and we could start our puppy training, my first thought was:

“how on earth will this bouncy, happy, easily distracted fluffball deal with all that serious agility stuff?”.

But then I thought to myself: “hey – we have her whole puppyhood to work on that”. 

So I set out and made a list of mental challenges that are important to work on and build from the start.

I then put them into small tasks and drafted in-depth lessons around them.

I knew that the lessons I created would:

     1.   Best help Sante prepare for the agility tasks that awaited her in the future.
     2.  Keep things lighthearted and fun at the same time.

I made sure the learning process would be fun for Sante.

I gave her ample time to play, and the opportunity to still be as happy a puppy as she could be during the process.

I know what skills were stopping my students from proceeding with obstacle training.

The best option is to return to the basics and work on those before being able to proceed – basics like:

➤ Building focus.
➤ Toy ethics.
➤ Food drive.
➤ Self-control.


So, I knew that it is important to build on these foundations with Sante while she was still a puppy.

This is why our sequence training journey was so much smoother once she was old enough to work on that.

Now Sante is capable of running short sequences with ease.

I love that we were able to start sequence training with an already built skillset from the work we did in her puppyhood.

We started with the foundations early on in her puppyhood.

This gave us a competitive advantage.

By the time she was old enough to start sequence training, we had already become an amazing team:

➤ She enjoyed working with me.
➤ She valued both food and toys.
➤ She was aware of her body.
➤ She knew what she was physically capable of.
➤ She knew how to move her body and limbs.

Let my students tell you why they loveD IT

… in the physical aspect of dogs and the demands on their bodies for agility training. Working through this course was great, safe in the knowledge that all the training was physically safe for a growing pup. I’ve been in agility for 36 years, it’s always been a concern of mine of how much we ask, at what age. Really enjoyed this course, and so did my pup. Thank you.

 

Pat Brown, Great Britain

I particularly liked the fact that most of the tasks can be learned at home/outdoors. All tasks were explained in detail and the progression was consistent. The tasks were steadily increasing in difficulty. The start of the course was good and I particularly liked the paper PDF weekly plans. I also like the fact that I can return to the course topics later, as some of the tasks were a bit unfinished, although the whole seems clear now. The quality of the videos was excellent and the texts added a deeper understanding.

Ida-Katariina Bergström, Finland

We are in week 5/6 of the course and really enjoying it! I’ve tried on line courses before and this for me is the best so far. It’s clear, insightful and high quality in content and presentation. I like how the content is drip fed and not given too soon too quickly! I can get overwhelmed and feel a failure at times with too much to think about but this keeps me feeling I can cope and learn and progress with my pup.
Thank you!

Karen, Great Britain

I loved this class. It gives you a methodical and thorough approach to the training of a young puppy. I felt very comfortable with all the training and conditioning plans because she is a vet and agility competitor.

Because the knowledge and professional guidance you’ll gain in this course can hardly be found anywhere else online!

This course is the product of science-based, veterinary, and canine sport medicinal knowledge, published research, personal experience from working in canine rehabilitation, and hands-on agility training experience.

BASED ON SCIENCE

Growing up in a stimulating environment is associated with better learning ability and memory, decreased fearfulness, and an improved ability to cope with acute stressors.

Neural consequences of environmental enrichment, Nature Reviews Neuroscience volume, van Praag, H.; Kempermann, G.; Gage, 2000

Dogs might be more predisposed to associate verbal commands with actions rather than objects. These predispositions may not be apparent in many day-to-day interactions with dogs but (…) are important to appreciate if we wish to maximize the efficiency of training to verbal commands

Limitations in the learning of verbal content by dogs during the training of OBJECT and ACTION commands, Journal of Veterinary Behavior, Ramosab D., Mills D., 2019

The provision of problem-solving games as mental/physical challenges has the potential to reduce fearfulness in adult dogs.

Why choose my courses?
The proof is in the pudding.

Karolina Augustyn, Poland

I met Beata 3 years ago when I started my adventure with agility. Beza, my small mixbreed dog, requires a lot of work and patience. Thanks to Beata we participated in our first competition. She pays attention to details. She showed us how to train correctly and how to prepare a dog to avoid injuries.

Thanks to her online training I’ve learned how to explain the basics of agility to my puppy. Everything is easy-to-understand. The material is full of knowledge and important comments that are useful in training. I believe that Beata has great skills in transferring knowledge and will be able to help everyone, even if you are not an easy student – like me

Natalia Karpinska, Poland

I am very happy that I’ve decided to take part in online agility trainings with Beata. Her exercises are great for both beginners and for more advanced handlers who own a new young dog.

Both me and my dog have learned a lot! The material is presented in a clear way. I received feedback on my videos and questions regularly, so I could correct mistakes on a daily basis.

Have a Taste

Let me show you one of the exercises that you will find in this course – Planking:

Encourage efficient contact performance by practicing body awareness exercises on a narrow plank. Strengthen key muscles for stability and safety during sharp turns.

BOTTOM LINE…

Every dog teaches us something new but I know you don’t want to be that trainer who looks back on your dog’s puppyhood and thinks “man I wish I would have done more and worked on that when they were a puppy”.

Agility beginnings don’t start with obstacles, they start with simple skill-building exercises, teamwork, and fitness preparation early on. 

I know you’re excited to start working with your puppy now, so… good news is – you don’t have to wait around. Let’s get to it! 

Whether you’re looking to give your agility dog a competitive advantage when they’re older, are excited to start working with your puppy, or whether you’re just looking for guidance with building agility foundations, this course is for you!

DOES THIS SUIT ME?

You can start when your puppy is 3 months old. This course is appropriate for any puppy who is above that age (even if they’re over a year old – in their head they might still be a puppy).
We will use a clicker, a toy on a long leash, and a dog bed (preferably an elevated or portable one). And for fitness purposes, you will need 1 or 2 non-slippery platforms that are no higher than the height of your dog’s hocks. We will be creative and use random objects for different tricks.
No, definitely not. This course is focused on building agility-related skills outside of the course. However, I have included a chapter on what you can actually do with a puppy on the agility field if you are there. In addition, in one of the lessons, we will also be using a lowered plank from the dogwalk for a number of coordination exercises and for the purpose of meeting a new surface.

Puppy FUNdamentals is geared at teaching your dog how to use, and move, their bodies – a sort of introduction to life. Puppy Goals on the other hand was created to build the groundwork for agility, and to teach your puppy the skills (both mental and physical) that they will need on the course when they’re older.

No, this class is not designed to be a motivational program for shy or insecure puppies. While we encourage play and engagement, we understand that every puppy has its own personality and comfort level. If your puppy is very insecure or shy and doesn’t want to play, this class may not be the best choice for them. We prioritize creating a positive and supportive environment for all participants, tailoring our approach to suit individual needs. If you have concerns about your puppy’s behavior or suitability for the class, please feel free to reach out to us for personalized guidance and recommendations.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

You will have lifetime access to all of the material from the date you’ve entered.

That means you can restart it, refresh your knowledge and start with other dogs anytime in the future.

If you enroll as a working spot, you’ll receive my feedback for 12 weeks. 📝

Yes. The access to the content platform is lifetime, and it is very easy to use and navigate. Additionally, PDFs are available for download.

 

Currently, the course is only available in English, but it does come with English subtitles. However, we do plan on translating the subtitles into other languages in the future, so please follow us for updates.
