Have you heard of a handling technique called the Reverse Spin and thought… wait, what actually is that? 👀

It’s one of those moves people talk about at training, and you nod along… but you’re not quite sure when you’d use it or what your dog is really seeing.

A Reverse Spin isn’t just a turn for the handler. It’s information. Your rotation, your timing, and where you execute it all change your dog’s line and commitment.

In this blog, we explain what a Reverse Spin is, why it’s useful, and how to apply it in a way that makes sense from your dog’s perspective, not just yours.

If you like understanding the “why” behind techniques, this one’s worth a read.

Have you tried it before, or is this one still on your “need to figure that out” list?

Awesome opportunity for new teams or teams who need some extra work on trial environments. I highly recommend entering this for a real trial-like experience.

Come to our Mock Agility Trial on March 1st where you and your dog will experience all the "Trial Things".https://premierdogsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Mock-Trial.pdf

After a few weeks off, the boys got back to training on this week’s UKI course. They didn’t miss a beat…I, on the other hand, was a bit rusty. I need the Tin Man’s oil can as I’m a bit sore tonight 😂

Consistency in contacts is not about luck.
It’s about clarity.

If your dog understands:
• what the job is
• where criteria starts and ends
• how reinforcement works

Then contacts stop being fragile.

In this free webinar, we walk you through 3 clear steps to more consistent stopped contacts, based on how dogs actually learn.

I don’t want anyone having to drive out in this weather. If you have not already heard from me or the facility for classes, PLEASE reach out with any questions.

Everything will be rescheduled, including class make ups :)
