Clean Run Magazine - November 2009 - 20

ance Dist lenge hal C By Jane Simmons-Moake This month’s challenge includes a seesaw, jumps, and a tunnel. The setup is shown in Figure 1. The position of the seesaw heading away from the handler adds an important challenge to the exercise variations. The exercises in Figures 2 through 15 provide many opportunities to test your ability to communicate with your dog at a distance and to strengthen his understanding of the cues you will give for different situations. Your goal is to handle all exercises from behind the green line. If this is too ambitious for your current level of training, work the exercises from behind the blue line. Then progress to working from behind the green line. Reminders • When the seesaw (or any contact obstacle) is included in a sequence, be vigilant to maintain high standards for speed and accuracy. Allowing less-than-perfect performances on the contacts will weaken future performances. If necessary, use targets, wire guides, or other training aids to help ensure speed and accuracy while working on your distance sequences. • Plan your handling path to prevent yourself from becoming stuck at the line. You need to be able to move smoothly and continuously to give the clearest information to your dog. • If you have trouble, isolate the problem and handle closer and/or block incorrect choices until the sequence is smooth, then gradually add more distance and/or remove any barriers. • Well-timed verbal commands and body cues are crucial when working at a distance. Work with a friend to keep your timing sharp and proactive. D P1 P2 Come! Come! Come! 3 2 Out! P Come! 4 5 Come! P 5 7 1 5 1 Send your dog on a clockwise loop around the perimeter. Begin with the first two obstacles off your left. When he reaches the desired seesaw downside position, give your command for jump #3 while facing path marker P1. As he commits to #3, release to #4 while facing P2. Finish with #5 off your left. Begin as you did with the last exercise for obstacles #1 and #2. When your dog reaches the desired seesaw downside position, give your Come command and do an RFP to turn him to #3. Release to #3 and #4, facing parallel to the path you want him to take. As he commits to #4, give your command for #5 while facing path marker P. Begin as you did with the last exercise for the first three obstacles. As your dog commits to #3, give your Out command and press toward path marker P. Release to #4 the moment he sees it. As he commits to #4, give your Come command and turn parallel to the path you want him to take. Follow with the command for the #5 tunnel when he is facing the correct end. As he exits the tunnel, give your Come command, do a front cross, and release to #6. As he commits to #6, give your Come command and finish with #7 off your left. Clean Run | November 09
