It’s fairly clear that the weakest cue for performance that we can give to the dog in agility is the verbal cue… the command. Don’t get me wrong here I have a careful though somewhat whimsical verbal language for my dogs. The real communication, however, exists within the context of movement. Movement is direction; movement is motive.

 I'm in Bozeman MT at the moment, having finished the first of four four days of seminar training. I have some fans up here... and it looks like I'm making new ones. They're a fine bunch and fun to work with.
