Lesson 9 - Demo - Two Hands

In this video Olga Chaiko does a demonstration with her older Border Collie Luz on how she uses two hands to steer the dog around the course. Much like a race car driver uses both hands on the steering wheel to get tight turns.

Don't think of it in traditional agility terms of this hand and that hand. Both hands are employed all the time to communicate with the dog. It requires a paradigm shift to understand.

Lesson 7 - Imaginary Obstacle

This Agility Dynamite video Lesson is a short discussion about how to handle the transistion from the serpentine to the far out wing jump.

The solution, imagine that there is another jump between the two. And it becomes a pinwheel. So there is your solution.

Tim & Luz - Handling

In this video Tim runs Olga's Luz through the same jump sequence he did earlier with own baby dog Gina. This enabled Tim to work on his handling with a dog that knows how to respond to it.
