Our final run of what was by far our best @americankennelclub.bsky.social #Agility weekend to date. Not sure this was our best run of the weekend, but we ended with a qualifying score. One more Standard Q and we’ll have our first major agility title. #HuskyLife #DogSports #DogsOfBluesky

Run One Way, Dog Goes the Other: The Joy of Lateral Sends I'm learning you don't have to be able to run fast to play agility. Instead, teach clarity so your dog understands the job, and your handling line becomes efficient. At our latest Young Dog Workshop with Jody Lolich, Layla and I worked on a skill that feels a little like magic when it clicks. Lateral sends. Send your dog to an obstacle while you move in the opposite direction.

Today’s agility challenge: Layla goes one way... I run the other. Lateral sends, soft turn cues, and independence drills from our young dog workshop with Jody Lolich. The goal is bold obstacle commitment and confident teamwork. #BlueBlur #Agility #Appetitive #LaylaLearns

Quarterly planning. Jira links. Dependency maps. The red wool of doom. Approval boards everywhere.

We build structures that add weight, not value - then wonder where impact went.

Start simpler: priorities, alignment on outcomes, autonomy to execute.
Then remove the friction.

First run of the day. Knocked a bar down (my fault), so no Q. Still probably his best run ever. Super stoked at how it went. @americankennelclub.bsky.social #Agility #HuskyLife #DogsOfBluesky

Part comedy, part field manual. Agile Protocol: The Transformation Ultimatum roasts Agile cosplayers, then shows you how to actually get Agile right. Ruthlessly funny, relentlessly useful.

Small Jumps, Big Milestones: Pre-Novice With Layla Agility with Layla is feeling like real teamwork. Each session brings small wins, clearer communication, and a dog who is understanding the game. Weaves: Entry First, Then Drive Layla is doing a fantastic job finding her weave entries and driving independently through the poles. Once she commits to the entry, it helps when I run just slightly ahead of her. My motion encourages her forward focus while she finishes the job on her own.

Layla met a new milestone today. 💙Confident weave entries, improving contacts, A-frame practice, and her first time jumping 18 inches! We're building clarity, confidence, and a dog who loves the game. She’s figuring it out, and it’s so fun to see. #BlueBlur #Appetitive #TeamLayla #Agility

Is Your Vision Killing Innovation? (Linda A. Hill, Greg Brandeau, Emily Truelove, Kent Lineback) Pop quiz: Picture the ultimate innovator. If you see a lone genius like Steve Jobs, you might be stifling your team's potential. Today, we debunk the "Lone Wolf" myth and explore why leading innovation isn't about pointing the way—it's about building the stage. Learn why Pixar's Ed Catmull didn't need to know how to code fur to create Monsters, Inc. and why you need to stop being the "Stage Actor." Enjoyed this? Unlock the full version to get the 3-part framework for turning team friction into breakthroughs.

Ravioli didn’t want to mark his toy on the ground but putting it on the bucket made it look more like his cookie on a target
I was able to resume working on a tiny bit of lateral distance!
If you want marking for agility or obedience there’s still time to join class! #dogsports #agility

Pre-Novice Confidence Building Layla is growing up in pre-novice agility, and it shows. This week we played sequences packed with rear crosses, front crosses, and blind crosses. One highlight is her growing understanding of her rear cross verbal, “Switch!” Rear Crosses A rear cross means I change sides behind Layla as she takes off for a jump. The magic only works if the verbal comes first.

“Switch!” actually means something now. Confident weaves, coherent crosses, and stride-building grid homework. Pre-novice agility is about clarity, power, and smart lines. Layla is growing up and it shows. #BlueBlur #Agility #Appetitive #TeamLayla #SportDog
