So stay away from the reeses!Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-65810102036956412032010-10-27T16:17:22.423-06:002010-10-27T16:17:22.423-06:00I'm drawing the map from memory but I think it...I'm drawing the map from memory but I think it's pretty close though it could have been more of a turn in reality. In any case the jump was not obvious when the dog exited the tunnel and the dog's path straight out of the tunnel didn't take him over the jump.<br /><br />I'd guess that when he came out of the tunnel I was about even with the apex of the A-frame and that was too far behind for my motion to have an impact on him. I was trying to set a line of motion to the jump but he came barreling out of that tunnel in a straight line and then started looking for me when he realized I wasn't there to tell him where to go. He did eventually turn to the jump and take it when he saw me running that way and I guess technically it wasn't even a refusal, just wasted time and some confusion. Also he took the jump on the left lead and turned left so I had that extra yardage as well. <br /><br />I'm not thinking of training a traditional 'out' cue but maybe some modified version like using his 'turn' verbal cue and supporting it as best I can with motion just for these tunnel scenarios, not on jumps or pretty much anywhere else. And more Fartleks. And less Reeses. Or maybe it was a good thing I didn't make it further up the course because that's a perfect situation for him to take me out at the knees.<br /><br />Cody had something like 9 Master Gamblers Q's when he retired and I never trained an 'out' for him either. He was just naughty and quite happy to run away from me and do his own thing.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-60519025852860889202010-10-27T14:17:59.593-06:002010-10-27T14:17:59.593-06:00I bet you could set a LOM to #5 without having to ...I bet you could set a LOM to #5 without having to be at the exit of that tunnel to pick up your dog. Hard to tell just looking at a map but could you set a line that slightly converged on your dog as he excited the tunnel. Your motion, inside arm, and verbal jump would cue #5. <br /><br />Either that or it's Fartleks for you!Morgannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185607903093272777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-91400034839476593352010-10-27T11:34:17.430-06:002010-10-27T11:34:17.430-06:00Completely hilarious photos!!!
