First, break each project into doable tasks. If one of your projects is to get faster contacts, your plan might look like this: • • • • Restrained recalls Proofing games over a single contact obstacle Short sequences with one contact obstacle Long sequences with proofing games Simple Is Better. The level of detail depends on your personal preference and discipline. A simple way to incorporate your tasks is to make a list, like the one above, that you can pull from for each training session. A more systematic approach is to schedule time each week to practice a certain skill, allowing flexibility based on progress. Overcome Barriers or Limitations It’s almost inevitable to run into challenges that you hadn’t expected, but anticipating obstacles and possible solutions in the planning stage can help prevent disruption of your progress later on. For me, lack of time and equipment is always a problem, so I try to schedule training time into my week and plan which sessions I can do in my backyard and which sessions require renting my agility club’s space. Here are some tips for common problems. • Line up resources beforehand to make executing your training plan as easy as possible. This includes planning practice courses and drills, making sure your equipment is easy to access, and reserving rental space ahead of time so you don’t get closed out. Break your goal into smaller projects and doable tasks. If you’re overwhelmed, it’s usually because you don’t have concrete steps to act upon next. Remember to keep sessions short and motivation high to ward off frustration for you and your dog. For support and accountability to help you stay on track, tell your friends and training buddies about your goals.

Try to focus on your ultimate goal and push through the challenges. Track Your Progress Record keeping is an important tool for tracking progress. Many people dismiss record keeping as too time consuming, but it can have a huge impact on your training and doesn’t have to be a burden. For each session, it’s helpful to write down what happened, what you learned, and what you need to work on next time. Thinking about the session’s successes and challenges can help you identify areas of improvement, assess your training methods (for example, where do you need to make adjustments), and plan future training. Try to be as specific and action oriented as you can since you’ll be using this data to guide your next training session. ® www.cleanrun.com January 10 | Clean Run
