our techniques and handling. OMD's
overarching philosophy is that we must
constantly evolve. We do not bind ourselves with rules, and we seek to think
"out of the box." We travel around the
world to train different agility handlers,
which helps us to understand different
dog training cultures and how we can
support them in improving training
techniques and dog wellbeing.

like your dog is reading your mind; they
look smooth and easy, like it's almost
impossible to make mistakes. You and
your dog cooperate so well together
that it seems you read one another's
minds. OneMind Dogs best describes
this state. We proudly dedicate this
methodology to dogs, the best teachers we could have wished for!

The Origin of the Name

OMD techniques are practical to use
and serve a clear purpose. One of the
goals is to support the handler's movement on the course. If you are not the
best runner, you benefit even more from
mastering a range of OMD techniques.
You can think of the different techniques as tools in your toolbox. In different situations, you select the right tool.
It doesn't matter if you are on the left or
right side, in front of or behind the dog,
you can always find a functional tool to
successfully navigate the challenges.

People started to call our way of teaching and handling Janita's and Jaakko's-the J&J system. We didn't want
the methodology named after us, because this methodology was actually
created by dogs for dogs, not for us.
Dogs taught us to understand. Without
Tekla, my deaf dog, we would never
have begun to understand how dogs
pay attention while practicing agility.
We wanted our methodology to be
named after its main mission-seamless cooperation during the run. Once
you learn to think agility from the dog's
point of view, it feels like you are one
connected mind. Your runs start to look

You Don't Have To Be a Fast Runner

The great news is that you have to learn
the techniques only once. After mastering them, you can use the skills with
different dogs. With a new dog, you

only need to do foundation training
and teach different obstacles. Soon you
will be ready for competition.
OMD Is Suitable for All Breeds
We have had nearly 200 different
breeds in our agility lessons. Some
people consider that OMD works only
for Border Collies, but it isn't true. We
have also coached small and medium
sized dogs to the top level. Only about
20% of our students have a Border Collie. OMD works with all breeds; the size
or age does not matter.
On occasion, it's not necessary to use
all the techniques with all the dogs. The
greater your dog's obstacle focus, the
more you need strong pre-cueing techniques. If you have a dog that focuses
more on his handler than the obstacle,
some techniques will be redundant.
Once you have learned all the OMD
techniques, the next step is to identify
the techniques that best suit you and
your dog as a team. It is like teaching
the handlers the alphabet, so that they
can then sign their own name.
