We went back to the original wings in the 2 minute warm up period and Logan ran perfectly all day. We actually copied this tip from Mutts when we were back with Herts when we saw they had put wings on the fourth jump and also at the box. I still have an annoying problem with Badger who is quite frequently running out of the red lane as he always wants to beat the dog back, as he turns on his left he can see the dog in the blue lane.

Glad to hear Logan ran well. It worked perfectly for us in the end.

Tess used to run out, always up the middle between the lanes no matter which lane sh was running on. I used clicker training with her. I had a single jump and used to put the ball on the other side of the jump. She jumped over to get it and then I clicked and treated her when she jumped over on the way back. I started it in the hallway so she had no real choice but to jump. Eventually I had the jump outside and put the ball directly behind and then out to the sides (like a fumbled box) and she learnt with the clicker to always come back over the jump.
However, very occasionally she will have a brainbreak and run out - usually when I have not done one warm up with a wing! Hope this helps. :roll:

Hi Vicky,
We have a session of clicker training Badger tomorow with Jane Allen. Let's hope it works, Jane clicker trained Skye who use to run out and now she never runs out even if she comes off the box really wide.
