Clean Run - March 2013 - 54
handlers for the behavior
that is desired along with
accurate obstacle performance. This article describes
five games: the first three
teach your puppy to respond to your handler cues
and the other two games
build value for interacting
with nonagility obstacles,
namely a traffic cone and
a crate or bed. When your
puppy understands these
five games, you can put
them together to practice
many handling maneuvers.
These games are designed
to be done in very short sets
with play in between. This
ensures that your puppy
finds you and the games fun!
Focus on the
Handler Games
Game 1:
I Turn, You Turn!
This game teaches puppies
that when you turn your
54
body, the puppy should turn
too. The game requires that
your puppy has a sit-stay.
Remember to use high value
treats that are soft and easy
to swallow, and to deliver
one treat at a time. If you are
in an environment where
your puppy needs to be on
leash, experiment with tying
the leash around your waist
or drape it over your shoulder so that you can free up
both of your hands.
Stage 1: It pays to be at
my side. Teach the puppy
that a good place to be is
at your side. Ask the puppy
to sit. Move yourself into
position next to the puppy
so that you are facing in
the same direction. Deliver
the reward near your leg,
with the hand closest to the
puppy, and at the puppy’s
head level so he doesn’t
move his feet to reach the
food (you don’t want to
muddy the criterion for
your sit-stay). If you have a
small dog, bend your knees
to deliver the food near the
puppy’s mouth. Deliver five
or so treats while the puppy
is in this position. Release
the puppy and play for a
bit. Repeat on the other
side. Play again.
Stage 2: Turn with me.
Once you have had a number of successful sessions
at Stage 1 and your puppy
is eager to play this game,
move on to Stage 2. Teach
the puppy that when you
turn, he should turn with
you. Start the exercise as
above, then give your release cue and turn in place,
one quarter turn. Be ready
to deliver a treat to your
puppy as soon as he gets
up and moves with you.
Avoid luring the puppy
into position. Deliver several treats to your puppy
Ask your puppy to sit. Move
yourself next to the puppy and
reward at your leg, near the
puppy’s head.
