Clean Run Magazine - April 2009 - 20

When performing the zigzag, it is important for me to be ahead of my dog. This helps assure that my dog will see each obstacle. My forward cues will create extension, forcing my dog to cope with direction changes, convergence, and corresponding lead changes at speed. With each progressive stagger, the challenges become more difficult for my dog. To be successful, my dog must learn to read my line of motion, which cues the direction changes for him. Even though I am running straight ahead, the nature of the exercise itself creates subtle turning cues. The important thing to understand is how my dog reads my line of motion. My direction of motion cues my dog relative to his direction of motion, not the obstacles. See Figures 6 and 7. 6 2 1 2 1 A Through the repetition of the exercise, as my dog approaches jump #2, our paths are diverging (red dashed lines). B As a result my dog reads a turning cue, which results in a turn toward me at #2 (solid red line). Compare to jumps #1 and #2 in Figure 5E. a B 1 2 3 C Although I am running in straight line, my direction of motion relative to my dog’s cues the turn. To understand how this can be, compare the progression of diagrams 1, 2, and 3 here and how they relate to Figures 6A and 6B, and Figure 1C.

Compare to jumps #2 and #3 in Figure 5F. C Although I am running in straight line, my direction of motion relative to my dog’s cues the turn. To understand how this can be, compare the progression of diagrams 1, 2, and 3, and how they relate to Figure 7A and 7B, and Figure 1D. 20 Clean Run | April 09
