Article By: By Denise Fleck, Pictured Zoom Room Trainer on Homepage, Pictured Jamie Van Wye within page post. (Article Excerpt) A graduate of U.C. Berkeley with a degree in Philosophy, Jamie Van Wye followed her heart to work with dogs and created the Zoom Room after hoping to send training clients to local agility classes she soon realized did not exist.

Land Treadmill for the Canine Athlete
Article By: Dr. Debbie Gross Saunders Photography Provided By Shor-Line, http://www.shor-line.com/ (Article Excerpt) Treadmills are a very useful tool for the any dog, but in particular, the performance dog. Walking outside with your dog is the best form of exercise but let’s face it, due to many reasons this is not always possible. Land treadmills become a useful tool for exercise, conditioning, endurance and cross training. And most of the time, they are very convenient to use. If any of the readers are like me, a well-trained dog on the land treadmill allows me to multi task and catch up on reading while ...
Jumping Analysis: What is your dog really doing when he jumps?
Article By: Kathy Keats, The Agility Coach (Article Excerpt) Jumping is the most important skill in agility, required for at least 15 obstacles per course, yet it is probably the least understood and the least practiced skill. Some dogs are naturally good jumpers, but like a young athlete that shows promise, the skill must still be developed and fostered. Other dogs are not natural jumpers, but like anything else, can be improved upon with practice and patience. Balance and Take-off - Two of the most important aspects of jumping are setting up correctly to take-off and being balanced. The point and angle of take-off affects ...
Lure Coursing
Not Just For Sighthounds Anymore! Article By: Lisa Marzban Photography By: All images used with permission from Course A' Lure, via Lisa Marzban (Article Excerpt) Full out running at breakneck speeds and gleeful expressions – that is what many owners see when they watch their dogs on a lure course. Once considered a sport only for sighthounds, whose prey drive is activated by sight/motion as opposed to scent, lure coursing is becoming a popular and continually evolving activity for dogs of all breeds. Lure coursing was developed in the early 1970s as an organized sport for sighthounds, offering a safe way to race the dogs without ...
K9 Nose Work Part II
K9 Nose Work Part II Article By: Laurie Leach. Photography By Robert Ochoa. (Article Excerpt) K9 Nose Work Part II - Last year I wrote an article about the relatively new sport of K9 Nose Work after my first one-day seminar. This is the story of my year-long journey from that first workshop to the day in which I competed in my first trial. It is a tale of love, new-found trust, disappointment, and resilience. For those of you who missed that first article, just a short summary about this sport: K9 Nose Work is inspired by the methodology used to train professional detection dogs. ...
