In this episode, I’m joined by Laura Bussing—an agility athlete, competitor, coach, judge, canine fitness advocate, and expert in agility behavior.
Laura has been a lifelong athlete, and in recent years she’s poured that same drive and intensity into dog sports.
We first connected back in 2022, and since then I’ve had a front-row seat to watch her growth—not just as a competitor, but as an athlete in every sense of the word.
Laura brings practical tools, valuable lessons, and a perspective that’s always worth learning from, whether you’re brand new to agility or a seasoned handler.
Tune in for a conversation about what it really takes to thrive in dog sports—mentally, physically, and as a team with your dog.
