Does stepping onto the agility start line fill you with dread?
Do you worry your dog will shut down… again?
Or worse — do you go home from shows wondering if you’re even cut out for agility anymore?
You’re not alone.
And no, you don’t need to give up.
The Story Behind From Anxious to Amazing
My dog Quest didn’t start out storming the agility ring.
In fact, he couldn’t even cope with being in it.
He’s a COVID pup. Nervous of people. Hyper-aware. Overwhelmed.
And unfortunately, I was anxious too — which meant we were feeding off each other’s stress.
There were runs where he froze completely.
There were runs where he rolled over and wouldn’t move!
There were runs where… he literally pooed in the ring. (Yep. We’ve all done that walk of shame)
I knew something had to change — and it wasn’t just our skills.
What Happens When You Focus on What Matters
Last weekend, after using my A.N.X.I.O.U.S framework and building things slowly and intentionally, Quest competed in his very first full agility weekend.
Not just jumping. Not just steeplechase.
Full courses. Full contact equipment. Full trust in me.
And here’s what happened:
🏆 3 first places
🥉 2 third places
✅ A clear round
➡️ And a shock promotion to Grade 3
But it wasn’t about the ribbons.
It was about his face. His body language.
He looked happy, confident, and at ease in the ring!
That’s when I knew I had to share this process with more people.
Because too many teams are stuck at the start line, trying to “fix” the symptoms — when what they really need is a whole new framework.

What Other People Are Saying
“I first saw Katrina training dogs many years ago and I have yet to meet someone who has advanced their understanding of dogs and dog training as quickly and deeply as Katrina has. Training tricks and skills is relatively easy, training a dog to perform in an environment that they have struggled with requires a very high level of knowledge and skill, not just in dog training but in dog psychology. The progress Katrina has made with her own dog, Quest, is phenomenal. A boy who was so affected by the environment, any environment, he could barely make eye contact with anyone . She learned what his complex needs were and she learned how to support his needs whilst also making progress in his agility skills. Katrina took time away from agility when it was best for Quest to focus on his life skills and came back when he was ready and able to make more progress. And now, after a couple of tough years Quest is making his mark in the agility arena. For that dog to be able to perform with confidence is fabulous but to perform as well as he is shows that combination of understanding dog psychology and dog training that is rare in the dog training market” – Nic Jones
