Throughout this quiz please focus the answers on one dog. If you have multiple dogs please choose and focus on the dog you would like to see the most improvement upon.
My agility dog knocks one or more bars per class that we run at a trial.

Yes, but it likely is more about his genetics so I struggle to see how it could improve much.

Yes, if he has a fault, it is that he can get over the top with drive so he flattens out and knocks bars.

No, He almost never knocks bars.

My dog isn’t really one who knocks bars, but I’m always on the look out for new ways to broadening his jump education.

When making mistakes handling an agility sequence at home and in repeating the sequence several times your dog becomes disinterested and loses motivation or focus.

My dog tends to be a shut down dog so he checks out mentally whenever things aren’t going his way in training. I am careful not to push him too much.

Yes, I have to be so careful or I will lose him. I can’t repeat sequences and I feel it is slowing my progress as a handler. I would love to help him be happier about it!

Not really, he may slow down a bit to become more thoughtful but is happy to repeat sequences with me.

My dog seems unaffected by the number of times I have to repeat a sequence…if anything he may get more excited.

I own a "tunnel sucker." My dog loves tunnels and given the choice will often drive into a tunnel over any other obstacle presented on an agility course.

Yes that is who he is…,he rarely listens on course if there is an option of taking a tunnel. So I compensate for him with my handling.

Yes, it is an ongoing issue and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong or what I can do to fix it.

No, my guy doesn’t drive into tunnels any more than any other obstacles.

Although we don’t get a lot of off courses into tunnels I love finding ways to throw challenging discriminations at him at home to really push him.

My dog occasionally stumbles on the dogwalk and sometimes completely falls off of it.

Yes he is such a klutz when it happens now it comes as no surprise.

Sadly yes, it is a bit of a concern because I worry that one day he is going to seriously hurt himself so it is a challenge I’d love to fix.

Not something I have ever seen from my dog. Pretty steady on the dogwalk.

Not a problem I have seen to date but I love discovering proprioception exercises to build into our training.

My dog is often much faster over the last few obstacles on an agility course compared to the first half of the course.

Hover over an option to see if it describes where you are.

Yes, but he has always been this way and funny enough his relatives run agility very similarly.

Yes, sometimes the difference in speed is quite dramatic I really struggle to figure out the mystery of how to help him!

Yes, but we still get qualifying scores so I don’t really pay attention to it.

No not at all, my dog’s speed is pretty consistent on any agility course. Having said that I do love to try new drills to challenge him to be faster.

My agility dog seems to come up with weird soft tissue injuries that forces me to scratch her from classes and sometimes sit out while re-habbing her for long periods of time.

Yes but she is injury prone and I have learned I have to not work her as much in order to keep her sound.

Yes, my vet and I can’t figure this out. It is so frustrating to me to have her sit out when we both love to play so much!

Rarely, I am grateful for the fact that my current dog has stayed pretty sound thus far.

My dog is rarely injured but I work at it constantly by growing her repertoire of body awareness exercises.

The Movie title that best describes the team work between myself and my dog in agility is…
