Unleashing the Velcro Dog- Training Your Agility Dog to Love Working at a Distance by Jane Simmons-Moake
Do you long for a dog that will soar accurately and enthusiastically through the most challenging agility course, while working at great distance? If so, you have come to the right place. This book will show you how to train your joined-at-the-hip Velcro dog to both enjoy and excel at working away from you.
The ability to handle your dog at a distance is a tremendous asset- if not a necessity- in all types of agility courses. Through the methods detailed in this book you can:
- Attain a competitive advantage through the enormous flexibility you will gain in choosing a winning handling strategy.
- Take a shorter path than your dog by working at a lateral distance, thus allowing you to take full advantage of your dog’s fastest speed- instead of being limited by yours.
- Acquire tools to enable you to smoothly handle courses with handler restrictions, long straightaways, and layering challenges.
- Ace courses that specifically require distance skills, such as Gambler’s and FAST.
- Enjoy the exhilarating feeling of ultimate teamwork as you and your canine partner fully negotiate the course together, yet independently.
