DOCNA 2010 Nationals

Obstacle Recognition

The repeated naming of the handler to the dog of the

obstacle is unnecessary since the dog is going over several of the same obstacles. Actually speaking to your dog for each move such as jump, jump, actually causes the team to loose valuable seconds.

Try timing yourself speaking the name of each obstacle, then with out. You will see seconds saved, I am sure. Randomly practice sending and calling your dog over 3 obstacles every time your practice, you find your dog will become more solid recognizing the name of the obstacles. 3x tire, 3 x see saw, etc.

What a special time we spent today at the beaches of St. Augustine, Florida working with the 2nd Annual First Coast Surfers for Autism. Enjoy the photos of some very wonderful children.

Listen to me know or tell me later

Really interested in the comments of those new folks viewing the blog.....

What are you looking for to obtain a better working/friend relationship with your dog?
What type of dog training or classes are you wanting?


My question to the viewers of this blog ...
How do you feed your dog? Once a day? If so is that am or pm? Twice a day? Are you having weight problems with your dog?
