2 Now the handler has moved into the correct position for the pull. The dog has room to wrap tightly around the wing. Execute the pull on the second jump to increase the dog's momentum. Increase the distance between the jumps as success allows. Practice with and without a lead-out. When you run with the dog, experiment with the timing of when to start the pull cue. Start the dog farther away from the jump to add momentum, which will also add difficulty. If you begin to fall behind the dog, continue the experiment to further understand the position you need to be in to get a reliable response to your cues. Add a Second Jump Place another jump parallel to the original jump about 10' away. This second jump creates two new challenges. It adds the difficulty that momentum brings to the training. It can also be used as a “trap” jump to take the dog’s comprehension to the next level. • To add momentum, execute the pull cue on the second jump as shown in Figure 2. Your timing has to be adjusted to get a tight pull on the stanchion of the second jump. Increase the distance between the jumps as success allows. • Practice pulling the dog around the ends of the two jump stanchions as shown in Figure 3. Work both sides of the jumps so that you are working your dog on your left and your right. • Practice diagonal pulls from the left stanchion of one jump to the right side of the second jump as shown in Figure 4. Be creative and vary the distance and angles of the jumps. • Now try a Choose Me drill with the second jump. Execute the pull on the first jump, making the second jump an off-course (trap) jump. I call this the “choose me” drill because I’m asking the dog to choose my cue over the tempting offcourse jump. Start with the jumps 12' apart. If you aren’t successful quickly, move the jumps farther apart in 2' increments and also re-test your groundwork skills. • Slowly move the off-course or trap jump closer and closer, based on the dog’s success, as shown in Figure 5. Just like the one-jump work, start with leadouts first and progress to running with the dog. Increase the dog’s starting distance from the first jump to increase momentum and difficulty. When you add momentum, you may need to increase space between the two jumps. There is no side change in this drill. Do not give the dog any verbal assistance. You are working on the body cue. Practice a continuous loop. Also practice with the dog on your right and your left. Practice a continuous loop. Also practice with the dog on your right and your left. Be creative and vary the distance and angles of the jumps. For dogs to give a proper response to a cue, the handler has to time it correctly and be in the right place. You cannot be behind your dog running hard (in essence chasing him) while trying to pull with your shoulders and expect him to turn. In this Choose Me drill, execute the pull on the first jump, making the second jump an off-course (trap) jump. Slowly move the off-course or trap jump closer and closer, based on the dog’s success.
