How to Find Success in Agility
(Without Having to Figure It Out All On Your Own!)
The VIP Program was designed to help every competitor excel in the sport, recapture the joy of training and competition, and achieve the goals they set for themselves and their dog.
The VIP program is a comprehensive, easy-to-use online learning experience for the dog agility enthusiast.
Yes, you are a Very Important Person to us, and we built this program so that people like you can easily begin to fix your problems, increase your knowledge, improve your performance, and deepen your relationship with your dog.
Let us show you how it works:
The VIP Program:
Gives You Access to Your Own Personal Coach
"With the VIP Program, every day is Trial Review Tuesday!"
Once you see yourself as your dog sees you, you’re ready to make the small but important changes in your verbal cues, body position, motion, arms, feet, and eye contact that will make your turns tighter, your dog’s path more efficient, and your times faster.
Helps You with Individual Obstacle Performance
The VIP includes training videos to progress your skills and challenge your dog on contacts, weaves, jumping, tunnel skills, and start lines. NEW THIS YEAR: Over the next 12 months we will be adding introduction to obstacles training videos designed to teach your young dog obstacles for the first time.
Provides You with Foundation Skills
When you join the VIP, you'll get access to mini-courses within the program including foundation handling courses showing you how to teach your dog important skills from the ground up: left and right, acceleration, tunnel cues, sends, post turns, bypass, tight turns, threadles, backsides, front crosses, rear crosses, serpentines, and blind crosses.
Fosters a Supportive Community of Agility Enthusiasts
Everyone involved in the VIP program, from Sarah, Jennifer, and Esteban to sponsored athlete Sarah Baker and OneMind Dogs Consultant Jessica Ajoux , and the judges who design your practice courses—Ann Croft, Lee Gibson, Tamas Traj, and Anthony Clarke, loves the sport of dog agility. Inspiration and motivation can help you get through tough times; let us be part of your extended agility family.
What VIPers Like Most About the Program
“You can always find time for that in your day!”
“My favorite aspect of the VIP program is how they break everything down in agility so that beginners can understand and advanced people get a better foundational understanding of the core behaviors involved. All the trainers involved really understand their audience and share so much great information. I also love the short sequences which are very easy to set up, always work through different agility challenges, and provide such a great training opportunity that can be done in small spaces and only takes 15 minutes of your day. You can always find time for that in your day!"

“One year later..."
“After doing agility for almost 20 years, I had lost my way. I wasn't sure how to train certain things anymore because so much has changed. I wasn't sure anymore how to handle. In Excellent JWW it had been 1 1/2 years without a Q. My dog was stalling out in sequences because he was unsure what I wanted him to do. I was nervous every run because I knew I could not do it anymore. One year later, we are qualifying regularly. My dog and I both have the confidence to run every class in AKC. Sarah and Esteban are patient and articulate and they NEVER make you feel dumb. They have given me back the life I loved so much before!"
Cindy P.
“You will love the VIP program."
“Since I train by myself, I didn't have anyone to help me with my runs. I have been having BDA review my weekend trial runs and provide feedback and it has helped a lot. Each critique gives a thorough explanation of "positives and negatives." I always look forward to these emails and feel good after reviewing them.
You will love the VIP program. The people are excited about agility and helping others achieve their goals. You can access the material whenever it fits into your schedule, so there is never a time commitment that is unattainable.

Carole Talks About Her Favorite Aspects of the VIP Program
Carole has been a VIP member since July 2017.
The Team
We are dog agility competitors, co-hosts of the Bad Dog Agility Podcast, and the instructors at the Bad Dog Agility Academy.
Since starting Bad Dog Agility six years ago, we've answered thousands of emails from people like you sharing their story and looking for a little help.
They have dreams and goals like running at their first trial, competing at Westminster, and making it to the Finals of a big event.
We created the Academy and the VIP program to help people like you get better at dog agility. As a VIP, you’ll learn how to perform agility maneuvers and learn when to use them. You’ll also learn when to apply them on course and how to analyze course maps. You will also have direct access to us for help with your toughest training issues and handling questions.
Most importantly, being part of the Bad Dog Agility VIP community will change the way you look at dog agility. We routinely talk agility with top judges and competitors from around the world. We have spent years studying trends in course design, handling, obstacle training, and mental preparation. Our content is cutting edge, and we regularly bring in experts to speak about topics ranging from human fitness to canine rehabilitation, and more. We sift through the overwhelming amount of material out there and bring our members the best, current, and most helpful information.
What You'll Get
Year-round access to current, high quality, easy-to-understand agility content covering every topic from foundation to handling and obstacle performance to course analysis and planning.
Worrying about falling behind? Don't.
When you join the VIP, you embark on a journey of self-directed learning. You choose where to spend your time and energy while we point you in the right direction. You’ll learn in minutes what took us years to figure out, and with practice, your performance will improve.
What Does This Cost?
We started Bad Dog Agility to provide high quality, low-cost instruction for agility folks. Keeping that in mind, we are very happy to offer the VIP for just $69/month.
If you were to try and create a similar VIP program for yourself, you would attend a weekly class, go to a few seminars, and have weekly private lessons—and it would cost you thousands of dollars every year.
Take a look at the chart below to get an idea of how much money you are saving by investing in the VIP program.

“Thank you for pushing me and helping me grow my skills!"
“My favorite feature of being a VIP member include the monthly short sequences and the video demos of real dogs running them using different handling moves. The clarity of seeing the options really helps me want to try each variation on my own instead staying within my comfort zone. Thank you for pushing me and helping me grow my skills!"

“I cant believe how my handling has improved..."
“I cant believe how my handling has improved since joining the VIP program! From front crosses to backside blinds, the videos are easy to follow and I go home to do them they actually sink in!
I don't have any other formal training than BDA and I don't know how many people have complimented me on how my skills have improved in just the one year I've been in the VIP program."
