IN FOCUS: DEVELOPING A WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE DOG. by Deborah Jones and Judith Keller £24.00 Great runs on agility courses don't just happen. And they aren't just a matter of exquisite handling and thorough training. Behind every flowing run in agility is a great partnership. For some dog and handler teams this partnership develops naturally over the course of training. But unfortunately this isn't always the case. Many dogs can meet the physical demands required for agility but have difficulty with the mental aspects of the game. Agility requires concentration, confidence, and a willingness to take direction from and work with the handler. Without this, you can end up with a dog that is distracted, unmotivated, out of control, or inconsistent in the ring. The authors of this book join forces to show you how to use their FOCUS program to develop or repair that underlying working relationship you need to succeed in agility or any performance dog sport.
