  • Interview with US judge

    Really enjoyed the episode with McKenzie Minto. Very interesting to hear about the differences and similarities between UK and US. Agree that judges should be respected more here in UK.

How to Turn Arousal into Attention with Polona Bonač
Q: How do you turn arousal into focus at the start line?
Build connection and energy that is balanced, train arousal states deliberately, and use anticipation-freeze techniques to compress effort and then explode into action when appropriate.
How to Turn Arousal into Attention with Polona Bonač
Q: How do you stay calm with a loud and overexcited dog during training?
Plan in advance, rationalize your strategy, and prepare for the arousal state so your mind isn't driven by emotion; use a flexible reward system and adapt your training so the dog learns to function in high arousal rather than trying to eliminate it.
Q&A - Verbal Cues, Jump Commitment, Advice to My Younger Self & More…
Q: Question 15: Opinion on dogs measuring smaller at KC than at FCI and switching heights?
It's dog-dependent; if the dog copes with intermediate height and welfare is maintained, it may be fine, but monitor signs of struggle and prioritize welfare.
Q&A - Verbal Cues, Jump Commitment, Advice to My Younger Self & More…
Q: Question 12: One thing you did with Arrow that you'd do differently with the next dog?
Be strict from the start with start-line and contact criteria, avoid loosening standards, and correct issues consistently to build confidence and clarity.
Q&A - Verbal Cues, Jump Commitment, Advice to My Younger Self & More…
Q: Question 11: If you could tell your younger self one thing about agility, what would it be?
Keep the passion and the love for the sport, hold onto that spark through growth and stress, and remember the joy that brought you into agility.
