Watch Us and Learn Stupid Handler Tricks: Just Ask My Dog I created several variations of this design after I did something particularly stupid in agility. See my dog is a great distance dog ... laterally (to the side) but not so go moving out in front of me. We had been working on it for a while. So here we are at an agility trial. And he is doing an awsome run. The end of the course had a series of five jumps in a straight line. And YAY! good boy he is driving right down that line getting further and further ahead of me. Because course time is based on the dog's time this is a very good thing. So what do I do? Just before he gets to the last jump I called his name? Naturally he stopped, turned and looked at me. DOH! Stupid handler trick. It does take a sense of humor and self confidence to admit you might engage in stupid handler tricks. Do you have what it takes?
