Dogs And Divergent Minds

Agility Coaching for Neurodivergent Handlers

Welcome! I’m Katrina Bayliss, an Agility Behaviour Specialist and Grade 7 agility handler with years of experience competing, coaching, and supporting handlers and dogs — especially those navigating anxiety, overwhelm, or the unique challenges that come with being neurodivergent.

Agility isn’t just about running fast or flawless handling; it’s about understanding the whole team — your mindset, your dog’s emotional needs, and creating training that works for how you think and feel.

What Makes My Agility Coaching Different?

Focused on Neurodivergent Handlers and Anxious Dogs
I specialise in working with handlers who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or frustrated by traditional training methods. Together, we build a sustainable, supportive path to agility success that fits your brain and supports your dog.
Mindset & Emotional Support
Beyond the skills and techniques, I help you develop confidence, resilience, and calm — in training, in the ring, and in yourself.
Grade 7 Handler and Agility Behaviour Specialist
As both a Grade 7 competitor and agility behaviour specialist, I bring practical, high-level experience and tailor plans to help you and your dog reach your goals — without burning out.
Community & Continued Learning
Join the Dog Agility Unmasked Facebook group — a free, supportive space for neurodivergent and anxious handlers to ask questions, connect, and grow.

🎧 Listen to the Agility Podcast

You can also catch me on my agility podcast, where I talk openly about the emotional side of the sport — from mindset struggles to celebrating progress, and everything in between. It’s honest, real, and neurodivergent-friendly.
