Methodology: Versatile Training Exercises
By Janita Leinonen and Jaakko Suoknuuti
I have been in volved in ag ility for 21
years. Along the way many have asked
me whether I ever get bored training
or teaching agility, and r epeating the
same things over and over again. Amazingly, I f eel I lo ve agility more as time
goes by. I think this is mostly because I
learn and understand more about agility and dogs, which allows me to play
around with various types of exercises.
Both Jaakko and I have been fortunate
to teach and work with many of the top
handlers in the world. We have noticed
one common feature in many of them
which enables them to stay at the top:
the ability to have fun and not get too
serious and r esult-oriented when do ing agility. The atmosphere we have at
OneMind Dogs enables and suppor ts
us to find new ways to challenge each
other, have fun with versatile exercises,
and at the same time keep lear ning
more and dev eloping our o wn skills
and our dogs' skills further. We hope to
never lose our en thusiasm toward the
40
sport and that we can maintain a positive attitude for decades to come.
Obstacle Skills
Naturally most of the handlers star t
agility training by teaching individual
obstacles to the dog . It would be t oo
easy if w e did not ha ve to maintain
these skills now and then thr oughout
each dog's career. Imagine yourself
learning a new sk ill; for example, a foreign language, new danc e, or ho w to
play an instrumen t. If you don't practice your new skill for a while, you don't
forget the sk ill entirely, but y ou don't
master the skill as fluently as you would
if you were maintaining and improving
your skill regularly. We believe the dogs
need foundation obstacle training and
proofing periodically throughout their
entire life.
Obstacle proofing can be done by creating exercises that are more demanding than y ou are likely t o ever face in
competition, or by training the dog t o
withstand various distractions while
performing obstacles. An example of
a demanding "overtraining" exercise is
training sends to weaves from different
angles from a distance exceeding 75',
or sending the dog from 45' to an obstacle that's surrounded by off-course
obstacles. You can tr ain distractions
with all the obstacles: w ave your arms,
shout or turn your body suddenly while
your dog is jumping, spin around or do
a push-up while y our dog is w eaving,
or run laterally away from the contact
obstacle or toward your dog while he is
performing the obstacle -your imagination is the only limit when pr oofing
your dog´s obstacle performance.
Technique Training
When you have learned all of the different handling techniques/maneuvers,
there is no need t o train them all the
time. Only if a technique does not work
perfectly every time is there a need to
