Training Touch Pads with Michael Ellis

Uploaded on October 28, 2010 • 8 min
Exerpts from our new DVD, Training the Jumps with Michael Ells, that will be released in late November.

In the begining of training the jump, trainers use a raised touch pad like our Rubber Touch Tubs. The reason for this is that it is very obvious when the dog has to put his feet up on a raised touch pad. As training progresses, we add an additional flat touch pad on top of the raised touch pad with the intention of eliminating the raised touch pad. In the end, our goal will be for the dog to go from one flat touch pad to another flat touch pad.

Clear directions. It helped to see Michael do it and then watch someone less experienced make the mistakes I'm sure I will make. His corrections clarified the procedures. Great video!
