The Monthly Membership That Gets You Consistent Success!
Recurring monthly membership, with the option to cancel anytime.
Are you training agility but not getting the results you’d like?
New to agility and wanting to get success from the start?
Do you have an overwhelmed, anxious or underconfident agility dog? Or maybe you as a handler feel this way?
Agility involves lots of little pieces that make up the bigger game of agility. If any of these pieces are missing, your training and competition performance will fall short!
- Is your dog fantastic at training but really struggles as soon as they get to a competition?
- Maybe you have the fastest competition time but always end up with faults?
- Do you struggle with your start lines?
- Does your dog get distracted when running the course or do they leave the ring?
- Is your dog sensitive, making it harder to train them for fear of making them worse?
- Does your dog lose their head and lose focus as soon as they see the agility equipment?
- Do you worry about what your dog is going to do next when running a course?
- Does your dog like to take their own route instead of listening to you?
- Does your dog struggle with queuing, distractions, the environment or confidence?
- Is your dog a little too motivated by agility that they struggle to keep calm?
- Do you get nervous or anxious at the thought of competing or when training your dog?
- Do you struggle to think in the moment and are unsure what to do next when your dog acts differently?
- Are you unsure what handling is best for you and your dog?
- Are you new to agility and feel overwhelmed with all the training?
- Do you want to understand your dog more and know why they make the choices they do?
- Would you like tailored training help with unlimited questions and the option to receive feedback on your training videos?

“I love Katrina’s ethos with regards to training agility and linking it to dog behaviour and taking the time to piece together all the elements of the jigsaw puzzle in order to paint the best overall picture for both you and your dog to create the ultimate team and connection.
When Katrina announced she was opening her academy I jumped at the chance to join, having really enjoyed being part of Geek Club over lockdown. Katrina is a font of knowledge, she cares deeply about the subject of agility and dog behaviour and it’s fantastic to see her journey with Quest and all her tips and tricks, games and her highs and lows – a wonderful way to learn together.
The academy is kept up to date with webinars, Facebook lives, videos and photos of Quest’s journey, Katrina’s insights, online learning and all things agility. She tailors the academy to it’s members’ needs and takes an interest in each and every individual and their dogs to offer the best guidance and help along the way. Having early access to her 1 to 1 lessons is fantastic; these are the highlight of mine and Pickett’s week and a great link to the information given in the academy.
I can’t thank Katrina enough for her continued support and tuition, the academy is the perfect addition to any agility lover’s journey and an extremely valuable resource which just keeps on giving. You’d be mad to miss it!”

About me:
Having successfully got both my first and second agility dogs to Grade 7 quite quickly, I welcome you join me on my journey with my young dog, Quest!
Those who know me, have trained with me before, or have listened to my podcast will know that I train agility from the dog’s point of view. For me, the dog’s emotional needs and the relationship you create as a team are at the heart of everything!
There is so much more to agility than just the skills, and if you only focus on the skills, then at some point you will encounter problem behaviour or results that you don’t want!
Going up the grades and achieving grade 7, not once but twice, within 10 days of each other, is an achievement that I am really proud of and it wasn’t done by just training skills!!
The journey with both Milo and Flash involved various training, on things that seem so far removed from actual agility training, but they were the things that mattered when it came to collecting those wins!
What better way to help handlers to understand this way of training and to enable them to put the pieces in place with their own dogs, than to follow me on my journey with my young dog Quest!
Social media only shows you highlights of what everyone wants you to see! In Quest to Success, you get access to everything, and I also explain the most important bit – WHY it is happening and what we will do to move forward.
There is even the option for you to receive tailored feedback on your own training!
Handler mindset is also a huge passion of mine, if you have read my book, you will know that I know what it is like to suffer with anxiety. I also know how this affects our dogs and our performance as a team. In the Academy I give you all the tips, tricks and resources I use to help me succeed when training and competing my dogs.
What is it?
The academy is for agility handlers who want to go beyond training just skills. If you have trained with me before or follow any of my socials, you will know that I am a massive believer in looking after your dog’s emotional needs along with everything else.
When we understand our individual dogs behaviour and their needs, the agility training becomes so much easier and success is just a byproduct of the relationship you create together.
Agility contains so many pieces that have nothing to do with the equipment, that said, there will obviously be parts of the academy that cover skills training, as we are training agility after all! BUT the academy goes so much deeper than that!
I will explain ALL the pieces that go into creating a confident, happy, focused agility dog who is connected to the handler, who trusts them completely as they work as a team out there on course.
You will have access to my training videos with explanations on how, what and why I am doing certain things with Quest. As his training and competition journey progresses, so will the content in the academy. It will document the highs, the lows, and explain the behaviour side of why this is all happening.
This isn’t just what the academy is about though – you get so much more!!!
Am I tied in to a subscription?
The first thing I want to say is NO you aren’t tied in!
If you ever wanted to leave, it is simple to cancel your membership and no questions will be asked. It is important to mention though, that if you did leave and decided to rejoin, you would have to join at the price the membership is at the time of rejoining.
Why invest in the Academy?
Quest hasn’t been an easy dog to train. We got him at the end of the lockdown resulting in him really struggling with being confident around people.
He also found the world super exciting, so exciting that he wouldn’t eat any food or play with any toys outside, not even in my garden! It is pretty hard to train a dog who doesn’t want reinforcement!
Along with this he is a super smart but sensitive dog so I have to be aware of this when training him.
I want to show you how I succeed with a dog who, like all my dogs, can struggle at times. I want you to see how you can have the same success with your agility dog by putting all the pieces together.
I show you the good, the bad and the ugly and combine this with my wealth of behaviour knowledge and competition experience.
Quest has just started his competition journey and is having great success, but the road to get him in the ring hasn’t been easy.
Come and join our quest and let us help you to help your team to succeed!
Quest won his first ever UKA Steeplechase run, a qualifier, meaning we will be competing in the 2024 Grand Finals!!
Academy Membership Options:
There Are Now THREE different membership levels to suit your training requirements and budget!
The Academy Vault on its own (INFORM) is a library of information with hundreds of pounds worth of knowledge and training at your fingertips.
The Vault combined with the Facebook group (EMPOWER) is a fantastic way to keep accountable to make sure you are training all the things that are going to help you progress, and having a place where you can ask unlimited questions is really handy when you have those moments of ‘what now’.
If you are struggling with a particular behaviour then combining all this with the online coaching (TRANSFORM) will ensure you get the results you require.
I have aimed to provide a membership to suit all needs and budgets so I can help you and your agility dog to succeed at a level that is suited to you.
In the Vault alone you will find:
- Recorded Webinars on a vast range of Dog Behaviour, Dog Training, and Agility Skills (Value over £500!)
- One Jump Skills Course (value £30)
- Games For Agility Success Course (value £30)
- Training Stop Contacts Course (value £30)
- Weave Training Guide (value £20)
- Verbal Cue PDF (Value £8)
- Loose Lead Training Boost (value £30)
- Analysis of our competition runs, and how we formulate our next training plan!
- Videos of our training sessions – warts and all!
- Information on dog behaviour related to dog agility and general dog training.
- Handler training (the most important bit) including mindset, planning and motivation methods!
- PDF’s and Resources to aid your training.
- Discounts on future online products/ services.
- Access To In person training sessions (extra cost – limited availability).
- Priority booking on any of my events.
You also have the two other membership options:
I want handlers to get as much as you can from the academy, so if you would like to see a particular topic covered, let me know and I will see what I can do!
How much is it?
The academy membership starts from just £14 per month for the INFORM membership.
The behavioural knowledge alone in the vault is unmatchable with the price of the monthly membership, it would cost you hundreds if you were to seek this information elsewhere, not to mention all the resources and online courses.
The vault grows in content each month but the price you pay when you join is the price you are locked in at unless you decide to upgrade or downgrade to one of the other membership options.
EMPOWER membership is £35 month, and the TRANSFORM membership with maximum support is £65 month.
How do I join?
If you would like to join us in the academy, you would be more than welcome, simply hit the button below to get started!
It is something that I hope will grow and progress to a community of kind, like minded, supportive people who all share the same interest – to do the best for their agility dog whilst having lots of fun!
By building an understanding, confident and connected relationship it will enable you to put all the pieces in place for success!!
Katrina Bayliss
Dog Agility Behaviour Coach
We look forward to welcoming you on our Quest For Success.
“We have been training with Katrina since the first lockdown. I enrolled Kane into an online course to learn the foundational skills for agility. Once we started in-person sessions, although Kane soon learned the value of the kit, it was apparent there were other issues we needed to work on. Katrina saw that we needed to take it back, work on good, strong start lines, and getting Kane working both close to me and at a distance. The courses, online sessions, workshops, and one-to-one classes have been so helpful. Katrina’s logo says it all; it’s fitting all the pieces together.
You can’t complete the puzzle if there are pieces missing. We are still working hard and are seeing results, and we take on board all of Katrina’s hints, tips, and direction. I have now started the agility journey with my second dog, Axel. I am enrolled in the academy which is full of amazing resources to keep referring back to. Thanks to Katrina, I am really starting to understand the needs of my dogs and not comparing our journey to others. This is our jigsaw journey 🥰”
