JUMPING
Imagine that you are preparing for a big event
but your agility equipment has vanished!
All you have are two or three jumps.We asked
top-level trainers from all over the country about
what they would do under these circumstances.
The exercises they offer are sequences you can
do even if you have limited space and obstacles.
This month's exercises are provided
by Steve Schwarz.

When preparing for a big
event I tend to set up sequences where I can work
on the key elements I'm sure
to encounter: serpentines,
threadles, and backsides. I've
created these exercises to
include those challenges and
let you work on multiple
ways to handle them.

The sequences all start with
One-Sided Serpentine Handling
Run #2-#6 along each line.
jump #1 far away so you can

practice handling on the run
which is how you would encounter these challenges on course at a trial.

One-Sided Threadle/Backside Handling
Run #2-#6 along each dashed line.

For Figure 1 work your dog on both sides and work the sequence where
you are pushing your dog over the middle jump and having him jump toward
you over that jump. To challenge yourself, cross between jumps #4 and #5
and change to the other handling line.
Threadles, taking two consecutive jumps from the same side, can also be
handled as backsides so Figure 2 lets you practice both. Running along the
red line, you work threadles on both sides. Running along the green line, you
work pushes to the backside. To combine both skills, cross from one side to
the other between jumps #3 and #4.
For Figure 3 move the middle jump out from the line. That gives you
(at least) three handling paths to work all three skills! Offsetting the jumps
can really challenge your threadle and backside skills. D
