Clean Run Magazine - November 2007 - 60
She never knew she had gone off course, because I learned to pick her up without missing a beat and send her around again. I never rushed her or pushed her to do something she seemed reluctant to do. Praise was bestowed upon her before I spoke with the instructor or anyone else, and she got lots and lots of breaks when training. Dash learned quickly. Each successful execution of a piece of equipment or a sequence, or later a short course, boosted her confidence so that her performance was better, faster, tighter the next time. The hardest thing for me to learn was when to quit. I knew that I always wanted to end on a high note because if I kept going too long, sooner or later Dash would shut down and head for the door. I had to immediately recognize the very first signs of stress: head down, floor sniffing, looking around, and then stopping before an obstacle. I became better at perceiving her impending stress and so I was able to end the training session while she was having fun, leaving before she ever became stressed. I also learned to watch for signs of calmness and happiness, and to reward those signals. Sometimes all she had to do to get a click and treat was to put her ears forward and look like she was enjoying herself. Challenges and Cinches The teeter was by far the most challenging piece of equipment to train. While everything else became easy and self-rewarding after the initial introduction, the teeter remained a fearful place for Dash. We stepped back, way back. I taught her to touch a target with her paw and used it to have her touch the upside of an almost-flat teeter. She was clicked and treated for every “bang.” As her comfort level rose, so did the level of the teeter. She began to enjoy this game so much that she would often seek out the teeter and smack it down hard, running back to me with her inimitable grin. Once she was at ease with the noise of the teeter hitting the ground, she began to run across it, flat at first, then raised an inch or two at a time. Weave poles, on the other hand, were a cinch. Easily her favorite obstacle, in training I was often able to use a run through the poles as a reward for a job particularly well done. 60 Clean Run | November 07
