4 5A 2 21' 15' 18' 24' Front cross 5B 2 Post turn 1 1 In the two-jump exercises, you are going to start with the jumps 15' apart and then increase the jump spacing on subsequent repetitions. Take a short lead-out. Release the dog and accelerate forward. Stop abruptly while you're still ahead of the dog but behind jump #2. As the dog jumps #2, rotate into him and reward at your side. Take a short lead-out. Release the dog and accelerate forward. Stop abruptly while you're still ahead of the dog but behind jump #2. As the dog jumps #2, rotate away from him and reward at your side. Two-jump Exercises For the two-jump exercises, you are going to start each exercise with the jumps 15' apart and then increase the distance on subsequent repetitions, as shown in Figure 4, until the jumps are 24' apart. (If desired, you can work with the jumps as close as 12' apart and up to 27' apart.) In these exercises you want the dog to jump the first jump with extension and the second jump with collection. You are going to use your deceleration to cue the collection/turn at the second jump. One mistake that handlers often make when using deceleration is hanging back too much, so the dog is not able to read the deceleration. When using deceleration, the idea is to first get ahead of the dog so that you can stop close to the jump where you want the dog to collect. This may involve planning your handling path three or more obstacles ahead to get lateral distance elsewhere so that you can be ahead of the dog when needed. If you are ahead and come to an abrupt stop, the dog should naturally read this and shorten his stride in preparation for turning. Even if you do fall behind, your dog can still read your cues. But the idea is not to hang back. You want to accelerate and then decelerate so the dog can read your change of speed and stride. Take a short lead-out so that you are ahead of the dog. As you release your dog, accelerate a few steps toward jump #2 and then come to an abrupt stop (imagine that you have hit a brick wall). You should stop while your dog is still on his approach to #2 but before he is committed, so that he still has time to adjust his stride. Your dog may not necessarily put in an extra stride (depending on the distance between the jumps), but he should be prepared to turn as he jumps. As your dog jumps, rotate into the dog (front cross) as shown in Figure 5a, or away from the dog (post turn) as shown in Figure 5b, and reward your dog at your side. You want to intentionally be a little late with your rotations for the purpose of these exercises. Your goal is to teach your dog deceleration as a turning cue, so you want to give the deceleration cue before you give your rotation cues to ensure that your dog understands the deceleration. If you were handling these as “normal” sequences, you would rotate earlier (as the dog commits to the jump). Work your dog through all of the distances with him on both sides. May 07 | Clean Run 27
