hopeless if you believe it is, and if you let your dog break in
trials and still let him run. Those are the two deal breakers on
having a start-line stay.
When you have the power of stay you have control, and both
you and the dog know it. There is much power to be had
from that control. If stay is your personal challenge embrace
it as such. At least it can be worked on every day and without equipment. Look for the places in life where your dog is
as excited as he is when he does agility and get a stay there.
Be committed and determined and patient. That is the recipe
for success!
Make a 30-foot lead-out your goal. Get that distance away
from the equipment first. If your dog breaks his start line at
the trial, and you catch him just as he is about to do it, you
may be able to repeat your command or mark the error and
stop the dog with your voice. If you don't watch your dog
and he shoots past you, you will have sadly missed a golden
opportunity to teach your dog what is important. I see no
other option than to leave the ring with your dog. I do not
believe this will teach a dog to stay but the other option
(continuing on) tells the dog that it is not a problem. It is a
problem; be honest with your dog.

action. The super connected way their handler confidently
leads out inspires the dog's confidence. "My driver is skilled
and confident today; she might be able to handle a little
speed," they think. When I teach students how to walk out
like a warrior preparing to conquer the course, I always
make this joke: "you might as well lead out looking like you
know what you are doing; it might be the only chance you
get to look that way!"

The Power of Staying
Some folks can't lead out because their dog will not stay on
the line. Sometimes teaching stay can take a lot more work
than it seems like it should. I feel sorry for folks who had a
dog or two that did not think that stay was the single most
difficult skill to ever accomplish, because when they end up
with a dog that really struggles with the task they can, and
often do, start to believe that the dog can't stay. Stay is only

Lateral Lead-Outs
Often when we lead out it is straight ahead. The dog can see
the handler in between the jump stanchions (or uprights).
These lead-outs are the easiest, as they simulate a recall.
Other times an advantage can be had by leading out and
then being off to the side of the second, third, or fourth
jump-what we call a lateral lead-out. In this case, the dog
can't see the handler through the jump stanchions. Most
green (novice) dogs will come straight to the handler, not
understanding to take the jumps and then go to the handler.
You will have to teach the dog to take the jump(s) instead of
coming directly to you.
When I execute a lateral lead-out, I'm expecting the dog to
understand that he will eventually be turning toward me.
My position tells the dog he should jump in a collected manner in order to turn. With this type of lead-out, you will cue
the turn by rotating into your dog; you will be doing a front
cross-also referred to as a lead-out pivot (LOP).
