Dog takes "closed" tunnel entrance. Handler
continues on. Goes back to last jump and then gets
correct opening before going on with sequence.

All openings of tunnels in play. Dog takes repeat
jump, handler continues on to tunnel #4, then goes
to jump #5 (correct jump), then goes back to tunnel
#4 (correct tunnel opening), then continues on.

If you are trying just to get the sequence numerically correct, then you don’t learn the skills.

Your Goals
The exercises have three goals:

• The first is to have some sense of getting things done in a

timely fashion. If you don’t complete the exercise in 30 seconds, you are not allowed to finish. Rather, at the signal indicating the end of 30 seconds, you should finish out the immediate obstacle that you are heading toward and then stop.

• Second, is to learn how to fix a mistake while moving so

that the dog doesn’t slow down by the constant stopping
and starting. If you or the dog gets lost or takes the wrong
course, you must continue on with the course. If the dog
takes the wrong opening of a tunnel or takes a “closed
opening,” you should continue on by repeating the jump
that you just finished and then attempt the correct tunnel
or opening. See Figure 9. If the dog takes a jump a second
time, you must continue on to the tunnel as if nothing happened. Once the dog finishes the tunnel, you must then go

56

to the correct jump you have chosen and then continue with
the tunnel you just used. You are is not allowed to stop to
reset the sequence. See Figure 10.

• Third, you will have to adjust your course so that you can

accommodate the change in the sequence. If the dog takes a
different jump than the one you indicated and the jump has
not been used previously, you must continue on like nothing has happened. You will have to adjust your course from
what you had planned to what is currently happening so that
you end up only using the jumps once each and the tunnels
as indicated by the sequence. See Figure 11.

As always, these kinds of sequences can be tiring physically
and mentally, both to dogs and handlers, so it is a good idea to
spread them out over several training sessions. Also, remember that the sequence itself isn’t as important as the underlying
skills. If you are trying just to get the sequence numerically
correct, then you don’t learn the skills. D
