Playing On Leash
Make sure that your dog can play and do his tricks while on a leash and in small spaces. Some agility organizations do not permit dogs being off leash unless in the ring or at the practice jump. Therefore it is really important that your dog feels comfortable playing with toys and doing his tricks while attached to you on leash. Tricks of motion that can be done in small areas are great to do when waiting your turn and when you go into the ring; for example: walking backward, hand touches, and spinning left and right. I also train my dog to weave around my legs; however, since this is not easy to do on a leash I will use it before setting my dog at the start line after the leash has been removed. stand up while still holding your dog. This helps your dog become comfortable with the eventual height he will be from the ground when he’s in your arms. When standing you may want to reward your dog again. Next place your dog on the back of a couch (the couch armrests or any other stable platform of similar height). Encourage your dog to jump up into your arms. Now put the two behaviors together. Initially you might rest against a tall stool or wall so that you are not completely upright, which will allow your dog to jump up and use your legs to assist him as he jumps and climbs into your arms. See Figure 2.
Jump Into Your Arms
If you own a small dog or one of a suitable weight for you to catch off the ground, train your dog to jump up into your arms. This is a great trick to quickly get control of your dog at the end of your run. I teach this in stages. Sit on a low stool or chair and encourage your dog to jump up onto your lap from the ground. Be sure to use a small chair or stool so that your dog cannot jump onto the chair before landing on your lap. Reward with food and then 2
