my videos, running contacts, To

A training with To from yesterday:

To 🙂

Trial videos coming soon too - so far we only had 3 one-day trials, but she gets to run some more in April and May - so exciting! We only need one more exam for A2 - and then we can sleep long again 🙂

Here is the set up from the video - a course from one of this year WC judges with some adjustments to make it useful for various courses:

    To is amazing! So young and already so good!
    How do you train knocking the bars? I guess you need to teach them this is not what we want right? But how?
    In the video you don’t re do the jump or sequence right away if she knocks the bar. Ofcourse I don’t want to put pressure on my dog but I do want to teach him that bars are not meant to be knocked off lol 😉 What do you do?

      I normally stop and redo (after the blue jump she stops on her own out of habit), but I really wanted to just run those courses this time, without stopping. That’s also why I put bars to 55cm. I normally train on 60 and stop for every bar, but that’s lots of stopping… I normally work through problematic scenarios with food, she is slower with food and mostly doesn’t knock -- so we master it with food first and then switch to toys again.

      Thanks! I like this 2nd part even better -- maybe because I love training agility foundations even more as tricks! 🙂

    Hello Silvia, you think redoing bars is effective? in some cases i found it a must to get some dogs out of the course and make them realize that we stop because they were knocking by just let them stay for a bit in their crates,usually they understand it quite quickly and make efforts to jump better after it.

    Some time ago i was asked for help with two female border collies very very high drive,and i was not able to make them stop droping bars until i explained them it this way, by redoing they droped the bars again and again,but when i took them out of the course and started working with the the other dog they started geting better and now they only drop bars very rarely.

    What do you think about it? thanks.

      I know some people wont like it because its not positive training, but if a dog is careless about knocking i dont really feel like going on in a course, i either teach them better jumping skills,or put the bars down or lower,or stop.

    Not speaking about an ocasional bar like To in the video,loved to see her running that fast, shes amazing,congrats.

      I think what is effective and what not mostly depends on what is the reason for the bars. I tried stopping the training for bars with Bi and it didn’t work at all. I didn’t try it with To because I don’t think she is sloppy, she just doesn’t know how to manage her body at her speed, so I would find it unfair to do that. If I take food and go for less speed, she doesn’t knock at all.
