The 4 Largest pieces of the long jump were set apart as normal.
All the jumps and the tyre are set to 24".
The A frame was set to full height.
A set of staggered weave poles are straight up for almost all dogs. Others have the entry and exit staggered slightly.
Course
Starting with the Table a right handed helter skelter type of course
was put up this week. Incouraging the handlers to work with thier dogs on the
right.
The Table
![]()
Position the dog about 2 paces away from the table and place the toy on the
top( make sure they see you put it there ). Encourage them on using the jump
command ( later this will change to a table command )show the toy and put the
dog in the down. Play with the toy and praise while still in the down.
Leave the dog on the table and walk to the see-saw call off and encourage up, if they are comfident with this piece of equipment let them tip it and hold on touch point ( If not you tip it and hold on the touch point). Walk to tyre call and move the weave encourage to go in. If you mess up the entry start again sending in from the base of the tyre. This section may be done with the dog on the left, but the rest must be done on the right cutting after jump 5. Finish the course using the techniques learnt in previous weeks. Don't forget to give the "right" hand turn comands where required and also hold the dog on the touch point until you are at the next obsticle them call off.
