Dear Solei 2019

10 October 2019 - allstaragility

Dear Solei, I blinked and 9 years have gone by in an instant, so it seems. 9 amazing years with you being an extension of my consciousness, souls working in harmony and dancing through the courses as one. Now our time running in the ring together is coming to a close. Livers are stupid things […]

Make those Posts Disappear!

8 June 2018 - allstaragility

Having a facility with 3 posts in our arena, we realize that this can be a bit daunting for course designers. The main thing to remember is that these supports should disappear and not be an influencing factor in handler or dog performance. Here are a few things I have learned in my years designing […]

An Open Letter to My Students

1 March 2017 - allstaragility

To My Agility Students: At the risk of sounding mushy, I will just say it: I want to help each of you succeed with all of my heart and every fiber of my being. However you define success with your dog, I want that for you. I share in the excitement a new puppy brings, your pain […]

Offset Box Drills

17 November 2015 - allstaragility

As training with Mooz is progressing into more jumping and sequencing, all of my dogs are benefiting from revisiting some of my favorite drills. This particular one I want to share because I believe it is extremely versatile and will help most every team, regardless of experience or skill level. I call this drill the Offset Box. […]

Reflecting, Not Dwelling.

27 October 2015 - allstaragility

Solei. Where to even begin? She has been the light of my existence the last 6 years. There are only a handful of days where she has not been by my side and it would take hours to calculate the miles we have traveled together over this planet. She is a sweet, wise, old soul and […]

Improved Cone Numbers!

28 December 2017

I've improved the Cone Number Creation Page with a smaller size option 2" x 2 5/8" that fits on Avery #6572 label sheets or Avery #6578 water repellent label sheets. These self stick labels are a little smaller than the 3" x 3" labels and fit on low profile/flat cones:

Image showing a 2 inch tall number on a 7 in tall cone.

2 inch number on a 7 in cone

Image showing a 2 inch tall number on a flat cone.

2 inch number on a "flat" cone

I've tested them out on my laser printer and the numbers line up nicely on the labels!

So if you want to DIY your own cones, want to number courses up to 50 obstacles, or need lettered/combination numbers you can Create Your Own Cone Numbers!

Self Stick Wall Coordinate Numbers!

17 December 2017

I've changed the layout of the Wall Coordinate numbers PDFs to work with Avery #8126 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" shipping labels. Just use the Wall Coordinate Number page to create and download your numbers as PDFs. Then print them right on the Avery self stick labels:

Image of two wall numbers showing one half page sticker being peeled up

This means it's even easier to put up multiple sets of numbers on the walls of your facility! A little time with a tape measure and you're ready to setup any course diagram regardless of English or Metric coordinates or where the designer put the zero/zero location!

Custom Agility Cone Numbers

4 December 2017

Want your own numbered cones at home or for your training place? Want to run courses up to 50 obstacles long? Would you like different colored numbers? Or do you need to number combination obstacles with 'A', 'B', 'C' or even 'D'? Well now you can!

I've just added a new feature to the website to create big, easy to read, multi-color number sets you can download, print or plain paper, cut out and tape or glue onto your cones. You can also print the numbers right on self-stick labels!

The page generates a PDF containing numbers 1-50 and combo numbers 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D to 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D. Here are some example pages in different foreground and background colors:

Here's how the 3" x 3" numbers look on 9" tall and 7" tall cones:

Image showing a 3 inch tall number on a 9 in tall cone.

3 inch number on a 9 in cone

Image showing a 3 inch tall number on a 7 in tall cone.

So go to the Cone Numbers page, pick your colors and download your own set(s) of numbers! Give it a try!

Beautiful Coordinate Numbers for Your Agility Ring

22 November 2017

Whether you call them "numbers", "coordinates", "wall numbers", "grid numbers", "yard lines", or something else, having coordinates posted makes setting up courses easier.

I've just added a new feature to the website to create big, easy to read, multi-color number sets you can download, print and put up in your facility.

If you print out numbers in multiple colors you can put up one set of numbers for when course maps have the zero location in a corner, another set for when maps have the zero in the middle, and another pair of sets in meters for setting up those international courses.

Example of three sets of course numbers posted on a wall

How do you do it? Just click the "Numbers" page link and fill out the form. To support measurements in feet and in meters you can specify the interval between the numbers as 2, 3, 5, or 10. Pick any combination of text and background colors. Then click the Generate PDF button and two PDFs are created giving you numbers from -120 to 0 and from 0 to 120. Then all you need to do is print out the ranges of numbers you'll need.

I'd love to hear your feedback!

I might be making a page to generate another set of numbers used in agility soon...

You Can Have "More Like This"!

5 June 2016

If you've browsed most courses on the site I hope you've seen the blue "See n Similar Courses" button:

Clicking on it shows you a page full of sequences that start the same as the current course. Which is great for training! You can use the same jump set up and you have a page full of sequences to practice longer and/or harder sequences that build on one another.
