Googility - AgilityNerd Dog Agility Search AgilityNerd's Dog Agility Search Engine

"So long and thanks for all the fish"
~ Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Today I shutdown googility.com / dogagilitysearch.com It was helpful in the 2000s. But, now people are able to find trainers, facilities, etc. without a purpose built search site.

I think 11/16 was closer to the weaves a little; folks were split on which way to turn at 11. You can work 12 as the front or back side too. Lots of variations with only three obstacles! #agilitynerd

Here's a #dogagilitysnippet from Grace Huffman's UKI Master Agility course. I've added green 8 and 9 to make it a little longer. Start at 8 from either side (treat 9 as bidirectional too!), wrap 11 to either left or right. 1/2

DIY Bumper Cover for Vehicles With Dog Crates A simple, affordable bumper cover for vehicles with dog crates. This solution helps protect your car’s bumper and makes it easier for dogs to get into their crates.

I was looking to protect the rear bumper on my SUV and provide a grippy surface for my dogs when they jump up into their crates. I found a flexible floor mat at HomeDepot and added a magnet to hold it out of the way.

Another classic dog agility sequence: the pinwheel to serpentine combo (or vice versa) 4-10. I'm sure some variation of this in at least one course somewhere in the country every weekend 😀 #dogagility #dogagilitytraining

The "cloverleaf" (at least that's I call it) e.g. 9-10-11 seems to be popping up again in courses and drills. It's been around for ages and is a good set up to practice forward sends, wraps, back side wraps, threadle wraps, etc. Some workshop participants *might* see it appear in the near future 😉

Can you handle this weave entry? I've blogged our experience (with video) running Stefanie Theis' Masters Series Jumping course with the most challenging weave entry I can recall. It's a fun sequence to run and use for practice! #dogagility #agilitynerd

I've posted my Skills & Short Sequences courses from yesterday to my website. THANKS to everyone who attended I had a great time! We are looking for a date for another day of workshops.

Our dogs are more than our dog agility teammates. Here’s almost 14 yro Flyer as he follows me around the yard while I’m watering the reseeded lawn. For his whole life Flyer has always been nearby “helping” me. I love having my silent companion nearby.

If you need a logo please put it in a blank spot on each course.

Dog agility judges and clubs/competitions PLEASE don't put giant logos on your course maps. Competitors are reading maps on their phone screens. A logo might look great on a computer but they can hide obstacles/numbers when reduced down to phone size. I made this map to illustrate the problem.
