Obstacle Focus & Distance, online course by Anna Hinze

What it is about

Distance work rarely fails because of the distance. It fails because the dog doesn't understand the obstacle securely enough.

That's why this course starts with obstacle focus: your dog learns to commit to an obstacle on its own and work it through to the end. Once that understanding is in place, the distance itself usually extends quickly.

You'll work with jumps and tunnels. The concept then transfers to any other obstacle. Some of the exercises deliberately take place away from agility equipment. You'll see how the concepts transfer across several different types of dogs.

Is this course right for you?

A good fit
  • Dogs who hesitate or check back as soon as you fall behind
  • Teams building distance work who notice the problem is obstacle understanding, not the distance
  • Anyone who wants to transfer the concept onto other obstacles afterward

You'll work on the ground first, then transfer it onto the jump.

Probably not a fit

If you're not up for a small-step foundation build-up. We start out without any obstacles at all and teach the dog the concept of the focus cue.
