Finn STRAIGHT LINE 90DEGREE TURN 180DEGREE TURN The first sequence for each dog shows the dog driving a straight line to the tunnel. Although you can’t see the handlers, they are at the end, by the tunnel, with toys out for the dogs to focus on. There is no other equipment out; it was cleared away to prevent any confusion. The sequence of Finn shows this remarkable dog demonstrating the typical Kelpie style of jumping. He skims the bar with his rear legs at full extension, leaving very little room for error. Soda has a very different jumping style, but again is clearly driving the straight line. Note the takeoff spots! For each dog as he reaches for his takeoff, it is too late to tell him about a turn. At that moment in time the dogs are committed to at least the first stride that they take as they land from the jump. By the time that the dogs have heard and processed information given at that point, they will be in the air and unable to effect a turn. Now compare those sequences with the ones showing the dogs turning, first across a 90° turn and then across the 180. The first thing to note is the takeoff spots. Both dogs have almost halved 12 the distance that they leave the ground before the jump. When did they make that decision? How much time does each dog need to enable him to effect the changes that you see? Next compare the position of each dog’s body when taking off for a straight line and contrast it with the same dog preparing for a turn. Look at the weight and centre of gravity. For each, when readying for a turn, as he takes off he brings his rear, or his powerhouse, under him. The horse people call this collection; in most dogs, it’s a far more extreme action than that, as these dogs demonstrate. Now look at the shape of the jump. The straight line is flat and extended; the turns are markedly different, with the dogs both taking off closer to the jump and landing closer to the jump, making the jump shape far more of an arc. In the case of the 90° turn, if either of these dogs took off expecting to go in a straight line, he’d land past the jump. Again, think of the time Clean Run | September 07
