DVD by Susan Garrett By Martha Faulk Given the title of Susan Garret’s
DVD, you might think it’s about how to successfully perform only one
jump. But it’s much more than that. The “one jump” idea is really a
vehicle for Garrett to illustrate many of her proven training methods for
handlers whose activities are limited by space considerations. Garrett is
well qualified to talk about success in agility, having accumulated a
total of 16 National and International Championships covering different
jump heights from 8 to 26 . Most recently, Garrett and her mixed breed,
DeCaff, won the Individual All-Around and Biathlon Gold Medals at the 2006
IFCS World Championships held in the Netherlands. In her two earlier books,
Rough Love and Shaping Success, Garrett writes about the reward system she
uses to reinforce desired behaviors and the training consistency needed to
urge dogs toward their agility performance potential. Here, the DVD format
gives her the opportunity to illustrate many of her concepts and discuss
in some detail the training philosophy behind them. The filming was done
indoors at Garrett’s Say Yes! training facility in Ontario, Canada,
during a workshop featuring many different types of dogs. It’s
especially helpful to watch Garrett instruct workshop students as they
practice with their young and inexperienced dogs the methods she has just
illustrated with her experienced dogs, Encore and DeCaff. All her younger
dogs, Garrett explains, have benefited from the exercises demonstrated on
the DVD. Early on, Garrett tells us that over 20 different exercises using
one jump and sometimes even no jump will be demonstrated and explained. To
get the greatest benefit from the exercises, Garrett says that four
assumptions are relevant: • You will be using food or toys that your dog
just loves. • Your dog has an understanding of how to jump. February 07 |
Clean Run Success with One Jump • You have been doing some shadow
handling, meaning that your dog knows to follow your body around in a
circle without jumps present. • Your dog knows how to retrieve a toy and
return it to you, then release it. Garrett also explains that your dog must
know how to hold a sit before taking the jump to get the benefit of the 20
exercises. She does, however, offer many helpful suggestions to get your
dog to hold that starting position. Your dog’s ability to hold a sit
before the jump is critical to performing all the training sequences that
follow. At the same time that we’re learning how to teach the dog useful
turns and changes of direction, Garrett is also teaching us to always play
with our dogs before asking for behaviors and to reward those behaviors
when the dog gets them right. T h e sequences are organized into four
sections: Focus, Reinforcement: Building Value, Crosses and Turns, and
Understanding. In “Focus,” Garrett shows us how to get the dog to
find the line he’s going to take instead of focusing on the handler.
Using a toy first placed at the handler’s side and then later beyond
the jump, she shows us how to use a release to the toy to get the dog to
drive forward. Also in this section, Garrett illustrates how to use your
arm to tell the dog to “look at the line.” Then she demonstrates how
to get the dog to change directions when you change arms.
“Reinforcement: Building Value” is about making your dog eager to take
the jump and receive the reward. You are going to build value Garrett says,
by associating the jump with the reinforcements your dog loves most. Once
your dog understands the reinforcement pattern, you can use rewards to
build value from a distance and can move farther and farther away from the
jump. You can teach your dog to “go long” and to “jump short,” as
well as many other handling maneuvers. “Crosses and Turns” helps you
to teach your dog how to recognize and execute front and rear crosses as
well as how not to cross behind you in what is called a blind cross.
Garrett illustrates the ground work necessary to help your dog recognize
the body language for a front cross, with your arm raised and eyes focused
on the dog as he turns over the jump. The rear cross ground work in this
section is especially helpful because Garrett illustrates how to show your
dog that you are going to cross behind him, beginning with the dog in a sit
position in front of you. Using just one jump, Garrett also demonstrates
how to get your dog to recognize the handling cues and body positions to
teach serpentines and threadles, or pull-throughs. 81   Warning : Unknown : The session id contains invalid characters, valid
