Entire chunks (BIG chunks) of this training that I had never even heard described or seen demonstrated are detailed here.
Here's something I had not understood:
"In this jump DVD, Michael explains in detail how to manage your dog's drive during the jumping process. When handlers put their dogs in too much drive, the dogs jump flat and have difficulty in jumping. This DVD explains how to determine how much drive your dog needs to learn to jump. Some lower drive dogs need to have their drive increased while high drive dogs need their training steps modified to allow them to concentrate on what you are asking them to do.
Once a dog has learned to jump with fluency and form, we then teach the dog to jump in high drive. Dogs need to learn how to jump when they are in drive during the long jump; during the retrieve over the jump; and during the palisade."
I'm only partway through, but just like the tug video, I see all the applications to whole other areas of training (for example, the tug video and the recall!).
On my wish list for Christmas!
For the first time EVER I think I actually have the wife AND all three kids on board for LB gift certs.
Don't tell nobody!

This video sounds great Connie. I hadn't really thought about it but I know there's something I must be doing wrong. Could sure use some pointers.
We don't do much for presents at Christmas these days but I'm gonna get this as a late gift for hubby. Build the suspense by telling him something's on order for him. Payback for the ice auger.
Shoulda, woulda, coulda... I just got "Training the Retrieve" yet am working on training jumping with Falcon as his new behavior! It will be on our wish list as well. All of ME's videos are worth every dime.
