1 1 - This dog is actually dropping her shoulders rather than loading the weight back and over the hip, and is using the muscles in her neck to now help the shoulders jerk off the ground. I see this behavior often in more vertically built dogs. 2 - This dog has come to his angle of elevation and has brought the shoulders up nicely. This low but wider than normal double encourages the correct behavior off the ground and through the air. It basically “tells” the dog this is how to handle this jump. 3 - Here is a typical photo of a dog under pressure (speed, distance of handler) to organize faster than the dog feels is possible. So, the dog isn’t going to drive any closer to the base of the jump but is preparing to launch toward the jump from too far away. 4 - This dog has reached the apex of the arc way too early. This happens when the dog reacts to pressure from the handler’s motion. 5 - Compare this photo to #4 and see how much better the dog has come to the jump and organized the body to leave the ground. The difference is the handler’s backing off on how much pressure is placed on the dog. By this I mean less speed and less distance from the handler. The handler was patient and allowed the dog to organize. While it is a game of speed there are still times when handlers need to be patient with their dog and make up for lost time elsewhere on course. 6 - This dog drives to a nice takeoff spot and has time to organize herself off the ground. The performance must first be clean and second be fast. 7 - This photo demonstrates the dog feeling pressure from the handler and lack of organization time; therefore he’s leaving the ground before organization has taken place. 8 - The dog is making an appropriate effort yet still not driving in to the base of the jump. 9 - In another attempt, the dog makes a lovely jump with head down and shoulders well angled over the low, wide double. A lifelong horsewoman, Susan Salo has offered her insights into jumping for dogs in agility in seminars around the country, including Power Paws and Clean Run Camps. She currently resides in Woodland, California, and can be reached at Jumpdogs@aol.com. 82 Clean Run | October 09
