You should not take these types of jumps at severe angles. Dogs that do not have a particularly athletic build need the angles to be only slight. I don't send any dog over the spread or tire at a bad angle and acceptable angles for the broad jump have to be determined by each dog's physical ability. Be smart about this! * Your dog should always stop at your side and not overshoot your position; he can end up sitting or standing. Reward the dog at your side. Do not reward if he passes your position. * Do not reward if the dog touches the bar in any manner. June 17 | Clean Run JAC Run Past In the JAC exercise in Figure 2 you are running with your dog so that run past the jump when he takes it. Benefits * Your dog learns to jump with you in motion. Your dog's focus (where he is looking) is an important part of this training. In this drill you want his focus on the jump, not you. You may need to plant reinforcement on the landing side of the jump to teach this to your dog. * Your physical cues to ask the dog for extension are perfected. The big picture cue is this: when I run hard, you jump in extension. * Your dog learns to jump extended from all different approach angles. Don't under-estimate the need for dogs to have this wonderful opportunity to figure out how to keep bars up at angles with just one jump. Training Tips * No lead-out is needed, so no sit-stay is needed. Have fun! Get your dog excited and let him rip, or hold his collar and race him. Start about 10 feet away from the jump. 37
