Clean Run - July 2020 - 29

Structure also affects jumping style.
Think about gun dogs. They are often bred with powerful shoulders to
enable them to "mark the spot" and
jump everything in their way with
their head up, and their eyes fixed on
their retrieve. Or Huskies, they are
built absolutely square to enable all
that pulling power; angulation gives
mobility but always at the expense
of strength. One of the Huskies that
trained with me used to saunter up to
a jump and clear it from almost right
in front of the bar because she jumped
like "Tigger." Extreme differences
aside, the important part about jumping style is that your dog's jumping
action comes from his rear, not from
his front. Jumping from the rear to the
front gives your dog far more control over both his jump and his landing spot. It also puts the weight where
it should be, in the engine that is the
dog's rear end. I remain unconcerned
about whether the dog tucks his rear
legs as he jumps, or if his head is up
or down, what is important is that the
jump action comes from their rear.

What You Can Do to Help Develop
a Versatile Jumper
The first part of training for a good
versatile jumping action is proprioception. Your dog needs to know
where his feet are and how to use
them. He also needs to have the appropriate strength in his back to enable him to bring his hindquarters
underneath him. There are far more
experienced and qualified people than
I to help with strengthening exercises! However, any work that you do
on proprioception will benefit your
dog. Please don't do this just as a puppy exercise. Your dog will benefit all
through his life, especially as he approaches his twilight years, in the
same way that people do. Just make
sure that the exercises you choose are
appropriate for your dog's development. My strong advice is to stay away
from extremes, no matter how amazing those tricks look. My favorites are
described below.

4 in a Box
Start with a box that is bigger than
your dog to make it nice and easy to
get a high rate of reward for the initial
training. You'll need that history of reward, as the exercise gets progressively
more difficult. Look for all four paws
in the box. If you have a hairy dog,
work in front of a mirror. Place a mat
inside the box if your dog is slipping.
When your dog has the idea and is
happily putting all four feet in the box,
place a smaller box inside the first
box. Once the dog understands that he
needs to put all four feet in the smaller
box, remove the first box.
Keep going until your dog is happily
placing four feet in a box that is half
the measurement of the distance between his front feet and his back feet.
I don't go any smaller than that. As the
box gets smaller, reward low to prevent the dog from sitting and don't
ask for too much duration.

Once my dog is happily putting all four feet in a big box, I place a medium-size box inside of that one and repeat. When
the dog realizes he needs to fit all four feet in the smaller box, remove the first box. I repeat this with a smaller box.
