Figures 1 and 2 have a weave/tunnel trap sure to challenge all teams (notice that the chute and triple are reversed in Figure 2). I have seen this particular trap several times in the past couple of years, and it always gives teams trouble. The curved tunnel entry discrimination was also a spot where many off-courses occurred; the wrong end of the tunnel was a huge draw. Since running full-length Jumpers courses is important for the well-rounded development of agility teams, I have also included two Jumpers courses that require minimal course changes in Figures 3 and 4. Advanced teams should run the courses as though at a trial. Walk, plan, strategize, and try to get it right the first time. Novice teams should break the course down and run it section by section. As the handler, it is your job to notice the challenges presented on course and apply the skills you’ve taught your dog. If you get stumped, stop and break down the sequence. Remember, when handling traps, it helps to give directional cues, then the obstacle name; for example, Come, Weaves or Out, Tunnel. As you design your own training plan for this exercise, remember to include skills such as layering and contacts with you at a distance. This course is easily adapted for gamble work as well. Challenge yourself to work harder to develop those skills that are most difficult for you and your dog. Enjoy! 15 9 10 5 8 18 11 7 4 9 16 15 19 14 5 17 3 12 4 11 12 1 20 13 2 3 18 1 16 14 8 Debbie Sacerich is a social worker for the aged in real life, but dog training and agility are her true love. She has been the agility training director at Cleveland All Breed Training Club since 1994. She teaches agility at both CABTC and Canine University, and presents agility seminars on many topics. She has a special place in her heart for rescues and she is proud of her current dogs: MACH2 ADCH Quick CDX EF and Bright MX MXJ EF, (both Belgian Malinois). Her past dogs include ADCH Buddy MX MXJ (GSD), Jewel AmUDT CanUD (Std Poodle) and Ch Dare CDX TD (PWC), the only non-rescue in the group. January 10 | Clean Run 59
