Comparing the Derrett and Mecklenburg Handling Systems By the Clean Run Staff © TTl aCTion PhoTograPhy, MiChal KrejCi, MeTTe Björne PART 9 Pushes and Flickaways The two main systems used in the U.S. and Canada right now originated with Greg Derrett (also called the Derrett System) and Linda Mecklenburg (also called the Awesome Paws Handling System or APHS). The purpose of these articles is to compare and contrast the cues between the two systems for informational purposes. We are not going to try to prove that one system is “correct” or that one system is better than the other. Both systems are proven and both work as a consistent handling system. This article series is designed to help you understand what the differences and similarities are so that you can make informed decisions on which may be the better system for you or your students. This series is also not designed to fully educate you on the intricacies of each system. There are resources available for both handling systems that are intended for this purpose. For the purposes of this series, when referring to obstacles, we will be using jumps since handling cues have the most effect on a dog’s jumping trajectory. APHS also refers to other turning obstacles such as tires, straight tunnels and chutes, but in order to be consistent between the comparisons of the two systems, we will refer to jumps. Here we will compare pushes and flickaways. This is another area where the systems are quite different. A push or a flickaway involves “pushing” on a dog’s line in order to turn him away from the handler. As a review, the cues available in each system are shown below: This series is not designed to fully educate you on the intricacies of each system. Derrett System The Derrett System defines a “flickaway” as the dog turning away from the reinforcement zone. See Figure 1. The Derrett System does not allow for pushes and works hard to protect its cues to prevent the dog from ever inadvertently turning away from the handler. The Derrett System never asks the dog to turn away from the handler for a rear cross on the flat or for a push (an exception is below). However, there are times when the handler does technically push on the dog’s line. This occurs in the second part of a serpentine and can also occur when the dog is exiting tunnels, contacts, or weave poles. These pushes are controlled by either an arm change (always in a serpentine) or by the blind-cross body line (BCBL). See Figures 2 and 3. Serpentines were covered in CR September 2009; see that article for further information about serpentines. Therefore, the chart below only refers to pushes, which are done after tunnels, contacts, and weave poles. Derrett System BCBL RZ BCBL These dogs are “flicking away” from handler’s reinforcement zone (used in Derrett System). Clean Run | November 09
