#2 and #7 are bi-directional
Novice level, Figures 4 through 6 are
Advanced/Open level, and Figures 7
through 9 are Master level sequences.
They can be set up in a small space so
you can easily video using a tripod if a
training buddy is not available. Walk
the sequences really thinking about the
dog’s path. Think about what you believe
would be the best path for your dog and
try it. Then open your mind and imagine
another good path for your dog and try
that one. Watch the videos. See if you can
find pieces of the puzzle that will help
make you and your dog more in tune
and competitive as a team. If you find a
path you think is great but don’t have the
obstacle/handling skills to do it, then you
have picked up some valuable homework
and clues about what tools you need for
your toolbox. Truly good information!
I hope these exercises give you an opportunity to experiment with ideas and enable you to really think about what works
best and why. Being active in solving the
puzzle is the first step toward really understanding the puzzle. D
The art of handling is reading your dog and knowing what is best in any particular sequence for that individual.
Dudley Fontaine has been living with and training dogs of various breeds—including Cocker Spaniels, Standard Poodles, and now Border Collies—for over 15 years.
Border Collies Maverick and Sweet have been on the IFCS and WAO USA world teams multiple times each, and both dogs have medaled. Jack is looking forward to
his first international team experience in Spain at WAO 2013 and Sweet is proud to be selected as an alternate for this team as well. All three dogs have had successes
at regional and national competitions, with youngest pup Bird to soon follow in their paw-steps. Before dogs, Dudley was an avid horse trainer and three-day event
competitor. She lives with her husband Greg, dogs, and sheep on a farm near Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
