The Wrong End of the Tunnel - Being Parents in Agility

In this episode, Kert and Aimee dive into the realities of balancing a passion for dog agility with the demands of family life and parenthood.

The conversation explores how routines benefit both dogs and children, why consistency matters, and the ways agility can teach valuable life skills such as resilience, patience, teamwork, and handling disappointment. Kert and Aimee also discuss the challenges of returning to competition after having children, managing expectations, and redefining success beyond rosettes and results.

Whether you're a parent, an agility competitor, or simply someone trying to balance sport with everyday life, this episode offers honest reflections, practical insights, and a reminder that the memories we make along the way often matter more than the trophies we bring home.
