The lateral lead out from lesson 1 or 2 is coming along well.  I am finding with a border collie it is much easier to see where they are looking than with my other dogs... maybe it's the markings or the ears!  but working with her does make it easier to see how to work the same excercise with the Terriers!

she is doing fine with the weaves and the teeter ground work is fine, however I need to spend more time on having her comfortable at driving to the end of the teeter board before I think about lowering the board with her on it.  Olga, do you agree?? ...elizabeth

I set up the sequence and tried it with my young (pre competition) dog last night. The problem I had was when I realized that I had not trained a lateral lead out with him!! You remarked at some point that you trained the lateral lead out very early in your training with a dog. Could you go over some of the steps you use to train that behavior at some point??

This video (part 1) is in response to several questions from Lesson 1 about lateral leadout. In it Olga discusses what is a lateral leadout. Interspersed with demonstrations and a training plan using her pre competition level dog Yankee.

When students post questions about the lessons they may not be answered right away. As it is near impossible to describe in words even the simplest agility concept. As the concept of this course is video, it seems best to provide feedback with video. This will neccessitate a delay in answers to topics.

Also new with this video is slightly larger screen size but with the same kilobits a second (right at 300 kbs). And a new video player that shows the time elapsed and time left. Soon to come is the option to watch the video lessons full screen.
