Splitting the Agility Broad Jump

After several failed attempts to shape Java to jump over a broad jump (she saw it as a contact) we decided to shape it using a familiar cue - a regular jump.

Nice work Beth! I love that you went back to shaping basics and broke it down to components that Java could understand. This is the test of a great trainer!

Thanks so much! Your training is the best and I appreciate your support.

That's great the way you used something that "Bumble Bee" was already familiar with, the hurdle, in order to train the broad jump. Nice work! Do we have a Dock Doggie in the makiing here perhaps?

Nice Job! All my dogs are clicker trained to do Agility, best way to teach.

Thank you, Astrid.  It's the only way I want to go - keeping it fun for my dog(s) makes it fun for me.

I have been training with the best, like Stacy Peardot, Ann Braue, Karin Holik, Jen Pinder, Joan Meyer, Jim Basic, Stephanie Spyr to name a few and they are all using positive methods. The results are phenomenal. Some use the clicker other use a verbal marker.
