How To Start For Novice Handlers / Dogs

Learn how to start on the OneMind Dogs website as a premium member who is a Novice level handler or has a new dog who is just starting out.

Written by Niki Drage

Welcome to OneMind Dogs online! The OneMind Dogs method is based on dogs’ natural behavior. When you communicate using your body language in the right way, all dogs anywhere in the world understand the message. For them, it simply makes sense.

We teach OneMind Dogs method to handlers. We don’t need to teach it to dogs. They already speak the language. We can help you find the magical connection that your dog is waiting for you to discover. We believe you will love it, too!

Here is a guide on where to start as a novice team:

  • Learn more about how to see agility from your dog’s perspective by studying the key concepts behind the OneMind Dogs method with the OneMind Dogs Method Online Learning Program

  • Have a look at the Agility Foundations Program to make sure you and your dog have strong foundations to build your agility future on.

  • Delve into the world of Handling Techniques with our Online Program to learn how to use your handling elements to direct your dog around the course.

  • If you can’t - or don’t want to - run to each obstacle with your dog, you need to teach him some extra skills so you can work from a distance. Learn how with our Focus and Commitment program.

  • Send a video to your personal coach, who will have introduced herself in your chat, to get personalised help on what to focus on next! This is the most important part of knowing what's best for your team and training with purpose.

  • Do you have any questions, need some inspiration or would you like some feedback on a training video?
