forT By Jo Sermon Photos by Jo Sermon except where noted People often
train with a criterion of I want a “tight turn” after that jump. When
you inquire, they actually have very little of an idea of what they mean
by a “tight turn.” The dog turns within 3' of the wing? 5'? How do you
define your turns? If you don’t know, how does your dog know? Do you
always want the same type of turn from your dog? Or are you sometimes
happy to accept wide turns? What have you done to teach your dog what
constitutes a good turn and what have you done to help him learn how to
turn? © ANDY DURY urns Part 1 © ANDY DURY What Is a Good Turn? The first
thing that needs to be done is to clearly define what constitutes a good
turn. You then need to reward the dogs for achieving it. As always with
reward-based training, the steps need to be tiny and achievable. So, how
do you define a good turn? At right is Jester, handled by my daughter,
Kristy. Standing 25 at the shoulder, Jester is a big dog with a huge and
powerful stride. Many people told me that he wouldn’t be a competitive
dog simply because a dog of that size can’t turn as well as a smaller
dog can. Now I’ll admit that a bigger dog has a more difficult task, but
I do like a challenge! Which was what drove me to find a way that I could
teach Jester to use his body around the turns. A dog as big as Jester,
moving at speed and using the sort of fine judgement that the picture
above shows, won’t 44 Look at the picture above, of a very young Boogie
jumping— what’s wrong with this picture? What skills are missing from
Boo’s repertoire? Now compare that picture with this one: get it right
100% of the time. The faster a dog goes and the tighter he cuts his turns,
the greater the margin for error becomes. Still, I don’t get it right
100% of the time either and so I’m happy to accept the occasional bar
down. For the curious, Jester did clear the jump and he and Kristy went on
to win the Burgess Supadogs Junior final at which that photo was taken. If
you look closely at the photo, you’ll see that Jester knows precisely
how to use each part of himself over the bar to effect a really
spectacular turn—something he was well known for and that certainly
contributed to his overall success in agility with me and his continued
success with Kristy. Back to training, the first item on the agenda is to
get out and about and spend some time watching dogs turn; before you can
properly train something, you need to be able to see in your mind what you
want to achieve. If you can, videotape a really good turn from a dog with a
similar build to that of your dog and study it. Watch what the dog does
with his body and how he accomplishes it. © ANDY DURY What has Boo learnt
to do? Dogs turn, in the main, according to structure; lack of a tail and
dew claws can dramatically affect a dog’s ability to turn on different
surfaces. The first affects balance, the latter grip. So what I’m going
to discuss is the way in which most dogs accomplish the task of turning
