Lori Michaels Agility Coach

My August Seminars are open for registration!

Save the dates! I hope you will join me for a wonderful weekend of learning at All Star Dog Sports to kick off 2025! More information will be posted in my local seminars group. PM me if you would like to join!

"I can't get there!"
"My dog is just too fast for me."
"I would love to get a blind cross in, but no way will I be ahead of my dog."
"I have no clue how to handle this part being because I'm going to be so far behind my dog."
"I wish I had the distance skills to layer this jump!"

If you find yourself saying things like these at trials, this class is for you! News flash, our dogs are getting faster and we, for the most part, are not. Speed is the name of the game, but we also need to have the teamwork and skills with our dogs to make the most of it! In this class, we will focus on balancing teamwork, building commitment and finding the optimal handling path to stay ahead and proactive on course!

This class will begin on July 15 and last 3 months with new material being released every 2 weeks. Participants will need access to a large enough space to work distance sends and at least a tunnel and several jumps, however access to all the obstacles is ideal.

I am going to be offering up my Wraps, Pushes and Pulls class again starting January 1 (but those who sign up sooner will get a jump start on class!).

Topics covered in this class include: Foundation Cone circling, Directional Jump wraps, Jumping Mechanics for Wraps, Pull/Slice (aka Threadle slice), Pull/Wraps (aka Threadle wraps), Push Wraps, Push Slice, Tight turns out of tunnels and Tunnel Pulls

All skills are taught from the ground up, including discussion on introducing variables (motion, location, flow into and out of, discrimination, etc) giving the dog a solid understanding to begin building into sequences, covered in my separate applications class.

All levels have never-ending access to the class content!

While traveling to teach is fun, it is always nice to spend some weekends teaching at home. Upcoming seminars are the weekends of April 29/30 and June 10/11. I will be also offering 1/2 day of private lessons on Friday afternoons before each of these weekends at $90/hour or $100 per hour for semi-privates (2+ people). Online booking for my seminars is available on my website https://www.lorimichaelsagility.com/book-online.

To schedule a private lesson, please PM me directly.
