Agile Paws

Agile Paws Agile Paws is based in Northern Colorado. A girl with a passion for dogs and training. Positive reinforcement and focusing on the dog's understanding.

Agile Paws is founded and owned by Christin Fritzler (Swetnam). I have been training dogs for 10 years in obedience and dog agility. I have experience with many training methods and have found that positive reinforcement is the best method to solidify the dog's understanding while making training fun for both the dog and owner. I love shaping, trick training, body awareness exercises, and especial

ly dog agility training. Most of all, I just love dogs and have a huge passion to train and love them. My goals are to help people love their dogs and love training them too! I currently work at Tailwaggers in Greeley, CO and on my own for those who prefer to work directly with me.

Please. Look it up! Without a medical need, your double coated dog does NOT need a Summer haircut!! Duke finds shade and relaxes when we hit 100+ degrees Fahrenheit, and he is a fluffy beast!

Researchers at the Center for Canine Behavior Studies in Bloomfield, Connecticut, are exploring the possibility that a dog’s bad behavior could be caused by his owner’s personality and psychological status.

With a new baby due next month, I find it hard to physically train my dogs. Bending down, trying to reward in the right location, sitting down then standing up, running, those are all proving to me more difficult and I get too into training and "forget" I'm 8 months pregnant! This next month we are focusing on exercise and strengthening the bond between my dogs and I - something I have noticed decrease since becoming a mother and something I need to definitely improve. Join me by unconditionally loving your dog, eliminating corrections, and love being with your dog and playing with him!

Just because a dog trainer has their own TV series does not credit them for being a good or reputable trainer.

I did lots of research on this new method and here's my post about it. It's long, I'm sorry but I really try to explain what I learned and why I think it will work. I encourage you to read it and take the challenge by joining the No Cue November page!

It's finally November, a breath of fresh air for our family. The corn maze season is officially over and now we can remember what our version of "normal" feel...

This is rather interesting to me.. I think it would work great with an experienced dog owner and a previously trained dog. A new duo though, hmm.. I'm tempted to test this out once I learn more

We have a new game at my facility called “cue fasting” and we now require a “cue fast” for all of our clients when they begin training with us. We’ve decided to take the game up a notch in what we are calling “No Cue November.”

Your dog may be 8 weeks, 4 years, or 10 years. . Never an inappropriate age to start training!

Dog training is more than words and telling your dog what to do. It requires a bond, trust, and motivation. Dogs are animals, if we ask them to go against their instincts, they need a good reason!
