Loading ...Today I am grateful to you for sharing the fun of our video contest and for casting your votes for the stories that touch you the most! Thank you for your wonderful comments and support of everyone who submitted a video.
If you would like to focus your agility training, we have a quick and easy online quiz for you to enjoy. After you complete the quiz we will send you a gift eBook with agility focus tips based on your results. Next week I will be hosting a free online agility workshop and we have started a Facebook group in preparation; everyone is welcome to join in on what we are sharing with the agility community.
Improvise…if you can find some of the original videos from the H360 ads, there are some great examples of what people would use to create the PNU’s and jumps. All it takes are old clay pots turned over with a pole stuck in them, chairs, buckets, broom handles. They all can be fashioned into what you need for the basics. Then, ring rentals if you can find a training facility or a person who has equipment in their yard and will share. H360 really is a great way to network.
Better late than never! These are all such inspiring and motivating videos. Thanks to all that took the time and energy to share. Really truly inspiring!
Im not quite sure if the halloween season makes me a little bias, I have to hand it ti Nici.
Well done for the training
All of the videos are great . It is so hard to choose only 2.
Congratulations to all the videos. I love seeing how each is their own story and each one is so different. Just keeps me inspired to keep going and learning! Thank you, all of Say Yes, for allowing me into the finals a second year. Motivated to keep working!
Just wanted to say a massive thank-you for everyone who took the time to watch my video and vote – I can believe we got into the final 15 never mind the top 6. Massive congratulations to Nici for winning with a fantastic video – and to everyone else – all inspirational stories I felt like a fraud!
Thank-you again to Susan and H360 – its totally down to your brilliant online programme that I now have a dog that LOVES his agility but more importantly we have such a great relationship. Any success we might (or might not) have on the agility field is a bonus! I’ve still got so much to learn and I’m looking forward to the journey – I would totally recommend H360 to anyone – I’m a beginner and if I can do it I promise anyone can!!
Thank you to every one for watching and voting our video – thank you Jude for your nice words.
It is so true – all stories are wonderful – and we all from the “H360-family” are winners!
Thank you Susan and the Say yes team for this amazing program, all your help and the great fun!
There is still a long journey in front of us but now we are connected and can travel together!
Well done to all on their training. 🙂
A special well done to Ted and Jude! You are already winners in our eyes regardless any other judging ever! Pom poms in the ready for when you atart competing! Good luck!
So hard to chose two, all great journeys. But Jude and Nici just inch ahead for me.
I loved them all and wish I could have voted for more as they all deserve lots of votes. Extremely inspirational!
All these stories are amazing journeys and everyone is different. That is what makes these videos so special1
Hard decision! What a wonderful job all 6 are doing. It makes me want to spend more time with my training.
Have to say they all are awesome videos, but I totally relate to Melanie
All of the videos were fabulous. It is so hard to choose only two. Thank you Handling260 Team for inspiring people and dogs.
All six finalists were inspiring. SO hard to only pick two! Good Luck to all of them on their journeys!
This was hard to pick just two. I wanted to pick all of them. My story is too long to put here but these videos have giving me some hope that agility maybe a possibility again. My question is how do you do Handling 360 when you don’t own agility equipment? Or all the other items I see being used?

You really don’t need much equipment. Some of the equipment can be made from pvc pipe (like jumps and the salo spider.) Susan has many suggestions on things you can substitute. There is usually some used equipment out there also. Don’t let that stop you. It is a great program!
Fantastic Jude and Ted amazing .
ALL of the videos were so inspiring. Talk about middle-aged! I even have equilibrium problems due to a neurological disease, but I’m sure that anything is possible now. Many thanks to all of the contributors and the H360 team!
All the best Jude and Ted !!!! Toby and I are cheering you on!!! Rruuuffff says Toby !!!! That’s yes in dog ha ha !
Well done to you all! Amazing stories, ending with the same….. THANK YOU TO HANDLING 360! Susan and team for helping us all. All the best to Nici, Sally, Laura, Melanie, Jude. And Maren for a good job and a difficult choice!
Why does it have to be so hard to pick only two?
Go Melanie and Jude, Jude’s story is so like mine – my first border collie middle aged(eeek hate saying that), but unlike Jude we did it start out right and have discovered say yes a little late in our agility journey but Dotti is being a awesome with the unlearning she tries so hard for me that I can’t help but try hard for her, ty say yes (lil tears now)
I know exactly what you mean about “middle aged” Amalie. I had to grit my teeth as I was writing it…………but have to admit that I just can’t run as fast as I used to!! Thank God for H360 and verbals is all I can say!! It sounds like you’re having a great journey with you dog too – they are such good teachers and so honest!
Thanks, Amalie! It’s been a long road, and I never dared to dream out loud that we’d make it…..you just have to never give up and keep working at it! H360 made it all possible.
All six have touched so many hearts and inspired winged dreams to become goals on the ground. It’s such a pleasure to watch these videos again!
