Workshop Description

With jumps being the most frequent obstacle in agility, it is vital to develop and maintain proper jump mechanics. Indeed, dogs are natural jumpers BUT jumping up to 20 obstacles, under handler direction, with tight turns, discriminations and at full speed is a challenge. 

Improper jumping mechanics can result in:

· Dropped bars.

· Wide turns.

· Off courses.

· Long course times.

· Injury (short term and/or long term).

This workshop will lead dog/handler teams through a series of jump mechanics grids (from Susan Salo, and others) to achieve the following benefits for the dog;

· Improved jump mechanics

· Better balance in all aspects of jumping.

· Improved jump approaches & accurate take-offs.

· Learn how & where to land.

· Improve weight shift while jumping.

· Better problem-solving skills, including enhanced reading of distances between obstacles.

· Better obstacle focus.

· Better responsiveness to handling cues.

· Better body control at full speed.

· Improved athleticism and less chance of injury.

· Fewer jumping related errors.

Additionally, handlers will learn how to recognize jumping issues and apply gymnastic exercises to improve the dog's jumping skills.
