I highly recommend Helen's seminar. I attended her seminar in San Diego. She
had wonderful pictures and slides of her own dogs and we were able to get our
hands on the dogs to actually feel the structure. She relates the structure of the
dog who has less than perfect structure (which few dogs have) to what can be
expected performance wise from the dog and what can be achieved from a dog
with less than perfect structure. Great seminar--don't miss it.

I was so impressed by the Helen King session that ran in Florida this past winter
I decided I had to host one here at Say Yes this summer.
Anyone who has not attended one of Helen's presentation on structure and its
effect on performance this is a 'must attend' workshop----just ask anyone that
has been to one!
For those of you that have seen other popular structure "experts" trust
me--- you will be blown away by Helen's insightful presentation and the upbeat
way she presents her observations. This session is ideal not only for those
wanting knowledge on how to pick their next agility dog or puppy but it is also
incredibly useful to learn about your current dog's structural strengths and
weaknesses. You will learn how a dog's structural challenges lead to common
training issues or injuries in agility and how you may better prepare your dog
with strength and conditioning.

Good Dog Agility thanks Helen King for a fabulous seminar yesterday in
Phoenix, Arizona on canine structure in performance dogs.
Just a few of the reviews:
"What a great seminar. For the first time I understand how to look at how dogs
are put together."
"I loved Helen's use of photos, videos and real dogs to show us how the dog's
structure affects their movement. I've been involved with dogs a long time,
conformation, obedience, agility...This was the best explanation I've seen yet."
"Helen does the best job of anyone I've seen of handling evaluations of
participants' dogs in a seminar setting."
"The seminar was great. Thanks for bringing Helen here."
I highly recommend every club and training center find time to bring Helen out to
talk with your students and give them an opportunity to understand how their
dogs' structure affects their sports performance. It's a priceless few hours and
Helen is a great presenter and congenial person. We were lucky to get her to
make a detour to Phoenix. Hope she had as good a time, although I am sure
she didn't mind escaping the 105+ temps that arrived yesterday!

Living in the Pacific Northwest, I sometimes see Helen King at local agility
trials in the summer. Sometimes we chat about structure and as it pertains to
the agility dogs we observe running courses.
I had the chance to attend one of her presentations on "Recipe To Win"
which delves into structure and its affect on performance such as in agility
competitions. I was very impressed with the information presented and was
excited to learn that Helen was planning to publish a book.
Well, that time has come as her eBook titled "Picking Your Performance
Puppy" is now available! This eBook is packed with such great information
and is easy to understand.
Regardless of the experience of the reader, everyone will come away with
more knowledge in areas such as: Structure Basics, Breed type and so much
more!
"What allows some dogs to excel in dog sports while others struggle?"
Helen's eBook has the answer to this question (and many more) with
informative videos, drawings and illustrations as she explains in great detail.
I highly recommend "Picking Your Performance Puppy " to everyone including
breeders, trainers, competitors and any individual about to embark on getting
a new puppy with a performance future in mind.

Helen's eBook, Picking Your Performance Puppy, is an excellent resource.
Her extensive knowledge of structure and the way it applies to performance is
very unique and I have found her observations to be astute and incredibly
accurate. I don't know of anyone with her perspective and sharp eye. Her
horse experience began in the early 50's and her extensive experience as a
dog breeder with top winning show dogs began over 40 years ago. For the
last 10 years she and her husband have shown their standard poodles and
border collie earning multiple MACH titles and winning various other
championships. Over the years she has worked with some of the best experts
in the world on equine structure and how it relates to performance and that
combined with her love and fascination for structure in dogs has led to
amazing insight into how are dog's structure effects their abilities.
I am bragging on her because although she is not that well known, as of yet,
she is worth getting to know :-)) It is more than just a book on picking a
performance puppy. I believe anyone interested in dog sports will find it an
enjoyable and extremely informative read.

Helen King’s ‘Picking your Performance Puppy’
This is the most comprehensive resource on canine structure and how it relates to
performance dogs that I have ever come across and, I believe, essential reading for
any performance dog owner. It is jam packed with easy to understand information
including diagrams, photographs and videos. Helen, in my opinion, is the best
person in the World for evaluating performance dogs.
There are many things that you can influence through good dog training in your
performance pup including behaviour, confidence and drive. However structure is
one of those things that you cannot change so a good understanding of structure
and how it relates to performance is essential before purchasing a puppy.
Even if you are not about to purchase a puppy, increasing your knowledge on
structure also allows you to be proactive about strengthening weaknesses (through
fitness programs and training modification to accommodate the weaknesses) in
order to minimise the long term impact.
So regardless of whether you are in the market for your performance puppy or want
to know as much as you can about your current performance dog then this book is
a must have.

to all of our clients who have any questions regarding structure to order
Helen's e book.
