Episode 71: Daisy Peel

About this episode

Daisy Peel discusses her experiences in agility training and the differences between training for competition and for pet dogs.

This episode is with Daisy Peel. Daisy is an agility trainer and competitor and has been part of the U.S. World Team nine times. In this podcast, we go deeper into the sport of agility and compare it with other dog sports. We talk about what it really means to select and train dogs for the world stage versus training a pet dog simply to provide an outlet and maintain a healthy, balanced mind. We also touch on the cultural differences between sports. Unlike protection sports, agility is a community that is predominantly force-free and yes, we talk openly about that too. Enjoy.
