What are the building blocks of movement distraction training in agility? Ira Mikkanen tells what they are and she has created a set of exercises that cover all of them! Enjoy!
Sara Pontoppidan: test your verbal cues
Training challenge by Petra Malin - Tunnel-jump discrimination
A speed test for an agility dog
Obstacle discrimination extreme challenge
Training challenge: independent seesaw
Teaching the dog independent seesaw skills gives you the freedom to move to the next point, and, when the dog knows exactly what is expected of him and how to perform the seesaw safely without your help, safety increases.
So, August's training challenge is all about an independent seesaw. There are two exercises included.
Weave challenge 2 - Petra Malin
Three jump challenge (Ins, Outs and German turns) by Ira Mikkanen
Training challenge for small field by Thomas Berger
Thomas Berger has created these two wonderful courses for small fields! You only need a space of 16x20 metres, and, of course, you can build parts of these courses in an even smaller space.
On these courses, you can test your in/out cues, think of different ways of handling (blind, rear, front crosses) and focus on the slalom entry (including discrimination with another jump) as well.
