Clean Run - June 2014 - 21

Because I am close to both the weaves and the jump, I say Break, side which is my come to heel word
for my right side. This keeps Scoop on my side until I ask him to jump.
Figures 13 and 14 show two
different handler postions: the
first shows Scoop to a backside
jump and the second to a pushthrough. My release word could
be Break because he is moving in
my direction. At times I follow the
release word with my recall-toside cue.

My Goals
My goal at the end of each contact
is to
1. Have my dog perform his
end-of-contact behavior
correctly.
2. Indicate the line to the next
obstacle as I release my
dog or as he runs through
the contact.
3. Get to that handling spot
just before my dog gets to
his spot so I don't waste
precious seconds.
To help my students identify the
perfect spot to run to while their
dog is performing a contact obstacle, I sometimes use markers
on the ground or place a cone for
them to run toward. It is easy to
forget to work on getting to your
spots each time in practice, especially when you are doing lots of
rewarding. The next time you train
your contacts, put a small mark-

My cues are Break combined with an arm change.
Since this push-through is also a forward threadle in very close
proximity, I want to tell Scoop with my right arm there is a right
turn toward me. I keep that right hand active until he has turned
and faced the jump.

er at each spot you want to be
in when your dog is in the yellow
zone and see if it helps you get to
your spots.
I hope you have fun thinking
about how you can better assist
your dog with "getting on and off

the contact" skills. Stay tuned
for lots of fun contact exercises
next month that will focus on side
changes and getting to your handling spot. D
