For jumping issues...have you tried working through Linda Mecklenergs Jumping book?? It's excellent at re-training dogs who jump improperly and tend to knock bars. My school uses it for all their foundation work. Great video, congrats on a good weekend!!
We have gone through months and months of specific jump training (and continue to do it now). She has the skills and is actually a great jumper - but like some people's contacts, her trouble is applying those skills in a trial environment.
You know, it's the good ol' "but she does it great at home!" story =)
WOW WOW WOW!!!!! I loved every second of this video! For some reason, the picture seems clearer, and I can see dazzle better...I don't know why though. Amazing speed! I love how she goes in between your legs when you two get ready to start.
What's YPS? Loved your tunnel runs too! I loved 'em all!!!
What's funny about her start - I used to have to tell her to do that, but now she does it on her own. In classes if I am standing talking to our instructor, she will be trying to get between my legs to set up! Silly girly!
YPS is Yards Per Second. I can use the numbers to not only see how fast she is running, but also how efficiently she ran the course (so a wide turn would lower the YPS, even if her ground speed was the same)
Slowly but surely will pay off in the end... Jump work is never easy. Its great that you are working on it with her. So many people neglect to fix jumping problems... and it looks like she is catching on very quickly!! She is such a wonderful dog and you are doing a fantastic job! Keep it up!
From looking at the video, most of Dazzles dropped bars come from her taking off too soon. I watched the second chances in slow motion and the first bar drop was because she took off too soon (6.54 )... Easy enough for you to work on. You guys are a great team!
The chances bar was really my fault. If I take off running right when I release her, she takes the first bar because she races off without really thinking. If I wait until she takes off before I start running, she jumps the first bar well (so far that's worked 100% of the time).
Here she was doing early take offs but in classes (of course...) when we really analyze her jumping she drops them for various reasons. Thankfully she is improving with all the jump training...slowly but surely!
Woah, look at Dazzle go! She's AMAZING! I think her favourite runs are those tunnelers runs. Almost 8 YPS??? That dog is Speedy! Awesome job Kat and Dazz.
Your distance control is out of this world. Courses in the UK tend to be tight not to much distance control is needed. Very well trained you make a fantastic pair.
Thanks! Jeff Riedl was our judge...I think some of the courses were Arlene's.
We aren't doing bonus lines very often, if at all these days - I prefer running with her. I just get more enjoyment out of it. On the Chances run it took awhile for the previous dog to get leashed up so we had to wait, then when I took off running she was just naughty and broke her start. :)
Wow! fantastic runs! Those tunnelers runs were my favorite, Dazzle is so fast! you guys make such a great team, your handling really inspires me lol. I even noticed in some places where she applied the jumping that you were teaching her, keep it up! she will be doing it to every jump soon ^_^.
Dazzle is amazing!!! She is just... incredible! and also: AWESOME HANDLING!!! If me and my Border Collie (who I am getting this summer!) turn out half as good as you guys I will be completely happy :)
Beautiful runs!!!

Awesome runs! Once she gets her deceleration down pat she won't knock bars! I saw how well it worked in a few of the runs, you guys are awesome!

Were you trying a bonus line on that first Chances run?
