I finally sent my idea in about keeping a target handy for contact training. Clean Run will run it in their September issue, and they are actually compensating me with a $50 voucher to their store. Clean Run is a monthly magazine dedicated solely to agility. It’s a must have. It’s $48/yr for a hard copy, or $25/yr for the digital/computer issue. If you sign up, please put my name as a reference. www.cleanrun.com
Tip of the Month
For those that use targets for the contact obstacles, take the lid to a plastic container and put the soft side of adhesive Velcro on the top side. Turn the lid over for treat placement. Under the contact obstacle, i.e., the exit side of the teeter or the down ramps on the dog walk, place the looped side of the adhesive Velcro. Store the lid underneath so you always have a target handy within reach.
Footnote: I have even put these at other locations where I train – Mantayo and My Pets Place.
Have a good idea – send it to Clean Run, and share with me, too.
