5-Alive at his first “big boy” Agility Seminar! (Coaching by Nicola Giraudi - Italy)

What a fantastic opportunity to train under one of my favorite handlers! I met Nicola at a World Championship event many years ago and while we were each others direct competitors, it didn’t stop us from becoming friends and having a blast trying to kick each others butt!

I have always admired and respected Nicola. He’s an amazing trainer, talented handler and just an all around wonderful person! Just as I expected, I really enjoyed being coached by him!

Training 5 at this seminar was SO fun! He hasn’t had much experience running or doing equipment away from our own Agility Arena. Especially obstacles like the dog walk & weaves! I was so proud of him for maintaining his skills and mindset. This puppy is truly a dream dog! And yes…… I realize I have to stop calling him a puppy soon! We’re doing big dog things!

We got such wonderful feedback to take away for our training journey! LETS GO!

Thanks to PHD for hosting Nicola and giving us the opportunity. Thanks for Nell Hamilton for her excellent filming skills!
