If you’re one of those people who, while at work all day, dreams about what you will do with your dogs
when you get home, only to find that the time you had slips away from you between chores, children,
spouses, and the other little necessities of life, then you’re not alone! In this series of articles,
following the Bob Bailey motto of “Think, Plan, Do,” I’ll outline plans for skills that you can train in
10 minutes or less, so that you can find the time you didn’t think you had to train your dogs!
This month I’d like to share a few
short exercises that I use with
my dogs to make sure we’re both
on the same page with our understanding of location cues. My
dogs' and my understanding of
location cues is critical to both of
our understanding of motion and
1

how it is relevant to each obstacle
on course. If my dog does not understand what my location on the
takeoff or the landing side of an
obstacle implies, it may be even
more difficult for him to interpret
what my change from one location to the other is indicating.

My location on the takeoff-side
of a turning obstacle (a jump,
straight tunnel, or chute), and my
intent not to cross the plane of
that obstacle, should indicate to
my dog that the next obstacle, if
there is one, is likely to be
behind him. I expect my
dog to take that turning
obstacle with the intent
to turn and come back
toward me.

My takeoff-side location relative
to the plane of jump A indicates
only A.

My takeoff-side location relative
to the plane of A, coupled with
lateral motion right, indicates
jumps A and C, but not jump B.

My landing-side location relative
to the plane of A indicates jumps
A and B.

Figure 1 shows a couple
of examples. In Figure
1a, my takeoff-side location indicates only jump
A. In Figure 1b, my takeoff-side location relative
to A with some motion to
the right indicates jumps
