Why Clear Cueing Matters for Every Agility Handler

Dog agility handlers at every level face the same challenge: knowing exactly when and how to cue their dog. Too often, cues are late, unclear, inconsistent, ambiguous, or conflict with our motion and body language. That leaves the dog guessing. This free course uses real runs and slow-motion analysis to show what your dog actually sees, why cueing mistakes happen, and how clearer, earlier information can create smoother, more confident runs.

New: 2026 NADAC Silverstakes Championship analysis. Lisa and Inspire are the 2026 Silverstakes Champions! The free class now includes slow-motion analysis of all seven runs from their Championship win, alongside Inspire’s seven rounds from his 2024 Reserve Championship performance. Explore two years of championship runs to see the timing and cues behind distance handling—and why consistent, clear, crisp, and timely cues matter.

  • See why timing matters

    Discover when and how to cue your dog at a distance and see just how early that information needs to happen. Through real-run analysis and slow-motion breakdowns, you’ll see why clear, consistent, and timely cues matter—and how small handling mistakes can change your dog’s path and choices.

  • Keep cues consistent, clear, and crisp

    See agility from your dog’s perspective with detailed slow-motion analysis. Learn how verbal cues, body language, motion, and pressure work together to create clear communication. Recognize late, unclear, inconsistent, and conflicting cues so you can eliminate them from your handling.

  • Recognize what causes confusion

    Break down real cueing mistakes and see why they happened. By understanding how timing, motion, pressure, and clarity affect your dog’s choices, you can become more aware of the information you’re giving and make better handling decisions in your own runs.
