After doing agility for almost 20 years, I had lost my way. I wasn't sure how to train certain things anymore because so much has changed - and I am much older now. I wasn't sure anymore how to handle.
In Excellent JWW it had been 1 1/2 years without a Q. My dog was stalling out in sequences because he was unsure what I wanted him to do. I was nervous every run because I knew I could not do it anymore.
One year later, we are qualifying regularly. My dog and I both have the confidence to run every class in AKC. Sarah and Esteban are patient and articulate and they NEVER make you feel dumb. They have given me back the life I loved so much before!

There is never any negative judgment about the work you turn in or questions you ask. Even a kidding around comment can crush a person. Students are all treated equally, no matter what their agility goals are.

VIP helps provide the tools you need to feel confident running agility. You are not just a number in their program, but a member of a family.

I would highly recommend this program to anyone from newbies to ‘old timers’. They come up with new things to try every month and there are many different aspects of the program one could incorporate into one's training.

The VIP program is full of exercises, current discussion topics, and a variety of material to help you with agility. They are constantly working to incorporate new ideas in their program so it never feels stale or boring. I always feel they truly want to help everyone love agility the way they love agility.

VIP is a great way to keep progressing with our Masters dogs. It is often hard to come up with a plan of what to work on next. VIP challenges and courses give a steady stream of ideas to keep us and our dogs challenged and learning.

Small sequences, videos and tutorials were a HUGE help! It's hard to be specific because all of it has been a big help. Love watching and hearing the instructor's reviews on other handler's runs as I learn from them. Peers have already commented on how much my dogs and I have improved and have asked where I am taking classes.

The positive feedback has helped me gain confidence and when I’m feeling particularly useless I know I can send in video and you guys will find the positives and make me feel amazing!

I was a newbie to agility. I felt I did not develop any bad habits because of the immediacy of the online coaching. Mistakes were spotted and corrected before I patterned the dog. Nothing replaces seeing what you are doing then having a coach analyze your execution. I have gotten so much from the coaches. They are so thoughtful and encouraging. I just love them to pieces.
