Notable
As a retired surgeon and an airplane pilot, Stuart has always relied on good intuition, making good decisions at a sub-conscious level when things aren't going exactly right. He brings this same intuition to the agility course as a handler.
Quotable
"In Agility, it's almost like you have to subconsciously realize when things are going right, and make the right corrections without really thinking about it. Nothing ever goes exactly according to plan, and at the speeds these dogs run, if you have to actually think about what to do to correct something it's probably too late."
