For handlers and dogs who are ready to move beyond worry and step into confidence and consistent success!
If agility has started to feel more stressful than enjoyable — whether due to your dog’s anxiety, your own response to pressure, or a loss of confidence as a handler this 8-week group programme is designed to rebuild your dog–handler performance partnership from the ground up.
This is a structured, supported course for a small group of agility handlers, focused on understanding behaviour, improving communication, and developing more consistent performance under pressure.
You’ll be guided through my ANXIOUS framework step by step, combining practical agility understanding with the human side of performance, including how stress, thinking styles, and (for many handlers) neurodivergent processing can influence training and competition outcomes.
“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

From Struggles to Success: Quest’s Story
If you’ve ever stood on the start line feeling a tight knot in your stomach — or watched your dog melt down, shut down, or spin out under pressure — then you’re not alone.
I’ve been there too.
My dog Quest wasn’t the easiest agility partner from the start. He’s sensitive, highly aware of his environment, and easily overwhelmed. We hit setback after setback — not just the eliminations on paper, but the invisible ones. The missed opportunities, the stress, the tears, the doubt. I questioned everything: my training, my ability, even whether we’d ever “make it” in the ring.
But I kept going.
I worked on my mindset. I worked on his confidence. I built our connection piece by piece — not just with skills and drills, but by understanding our emotions and needs as a team. There were messy runs and magical moments, but slowly, things began to shift.
Now? Quest has started winning classes. He’s gone up the grades. And more importantly, we both enjoy the ring again.
That’s why I created Anxious to Amazing. Because agility isn’t just about handling skills — it’s about emotional resilience, for both you and your dog. This course brings together everything I’ve learned the hard way, so you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
You’re not broken. Your dog isn’t broken. And things can get better — with the right support, the right tools, and the right mindset.
