HOOP JUMP Story by Kelli McCoy • Photography by Dawn Hamm Photography
Teaching your dog to jump through a hoop seems quite silly, until you see how stinkin’ cute it is!
I
never would have thought of doing this until I attended a workshop to become a Certified Trick Dog Instructor. The demo dog they had there did just about everything you can think of, including jumping through a hoop. Of course, I bought hula hoops as soon as I got home to teach my dogs this trick! Once I taught them how to jump through the hoop, and saw how proud they were of themselves, I knew it was a good choice. My little boy, Tucker, loves to jump through the hoop! This is, by far, one of his favorite tricks, and I have been able to transfer it to many other tricks! Now I am going to help you teach your dog. Let’s get started! Grab some yummy, smelly treats, a hula hoop, and your doggy, and here we go!
pups, so removing them is best. Hold the hula hoop upright and steady on the ground with one hand, and with the other hand, reach through the hoop with a tasty treat to get your dog’s nose interested in it. We are using that luring technique again! Slowly, move your hand through the hoop and bring your dog with it. As soon as your dog walks through the hoop, give him the treat! As your dog gets more comfortable walking through the hoop, add a command with it. It is up to you what you use; personally, I use “hoop” although there are some who say “Hup” or “Jump.” Either way, add the command as you are luring your dog through, and as soon as they come out, make sure to use the verbal marker, “Yes! Good hoop!”
through the hoop. Remember to mark it with the “Yes!” and a treat. Eventually you will be able to wean out the luring, and your dog will jump through the hoop without your assistance!
First, we need to talk about the hula hoop. If there are beads in there, make sure to remove them. The rattle of the beads scares a lot of
Once your dog is walking nicely through the hoop, slowly bring the hoop up from the ground so Fido needs to take a little jump

When your team has mastered the single hoop jump, it will be easy to add more complex dimensions to your dog’s act! Using two hula hoops, you can do a double hoop sequence, or teach your dog to jump through your circled arms! We hope you enjoy this time with your pup! Remember, training in any capacity will help you and your dog to communicate more effectively, as well as make that bond between you and your best friend even stronger! Enjoy your time with your fur-kid!

LURE COURSING:
Channeling the high drive Story by David Sanders
WHAT IS LURE COURSING?
Designed for dogs with a high prey drive, Lure Coursing is a sport for dogs who love to chase. The sport revolves around a mechanically-operated fly wheel motor and spin wheel pulleys planted throughout an enclosed or open field. The lure itself can be either a plastic bag or light weight toy simulating a fox tail or feathers. Creating a tight continuous loop, the lure is tied to a strong braided mason line threaded through the pulleys and fly wheel. A hand-held device controls the speed and direction of the lure to coincide with the speed and agility of the dog. The fly wheel motor propels the lure at speeds exceeding 60mph, so even the fastest dogs can be challenged!
THE BENEFITS:
A tired dog is a good dog! Dogs need both mental and physical stimulation; this is especially true for dogs with exuberant amounts of energy and drive. Exercise is the best remedy for an unruly pooch. Channeling your dogs prey drive into something fun and positive will give him an outlet for instinctual behaviors that would otherwise get him into trouble. Behaviorists use lure coursing to build confidence in fearful and insecure dogs as well.
THE CONCERNS:
Dogs participating need to be injury-free and in good health. Running an overweight dog can put him at greater risk of cardiovascular and/or physical harm. It is important to understand that engaging in any dog sport increases the likelihood of injury; that is why it’s imperative to be aware of your dog’s body language. If he starts to limp, cease running him immediately and consult with your veterinarian. Keep your dogs hydrated and be aware of your dog’s cooling signals. Rapid breathing, heavy panting, blood shot eyes, and laying sprawled with his belly to the ground are tell tale signs your dog needs to cool dow n!
There are various local meet up groups that organize lure coursing events, as well as national competitions, sponsored by the American Sighthound Field Association (ASFA) and the American Kennel Club, (AKC). Contests are judged on a point system and fastest times in all levels of competition. Most competitions are for purebred sighthounds only; however, due to popular demand, the AKC has put together a coursing ability competition for all breeds, both mixed and pure bred. A typical lure course is 500 to 1000 yards but can be set up on any grass field with a power source. The course may also include agility obstacles and jumps for an added challenge. Modified horse arenas and baseball fields work very well. Do not run your dogs on dirt, asphalt, or gravel; this will tear up their paws and increase the likelihood of joint injury and pain. Check out www.asfa.org/coursing, www.akc.org/ events/lurecoursing and www.akc.org/mixedbreeds for competition details. Check out YouTube for videos on the sport as well. Here are a few links: http://youtu.be/cjXLLyUjsko http://youtu.be/3ShaN5Wn8og http://youtu.be/n9QUwJA0QJo
TRAINING TIP:
It is very important to find what motivates your dog. Give him a positive outlet for what he was bred to do. Remember dogs are animals first,
domesticated second. We try to humanize and expect them to live in a home environment that may not be conducive to their needs. A healthy dog and handler relationship stems from mutual respect and understanding. If we give our dog a series of activities and reinforce wanted behaviors with food, play, affection and praise, we will have a confident, happy and much more stable dog. REMEMBER...Re-Direction supersedes harsh correction and is always a lot more fun!!!
NOW ENROLLING! INDOOR Mini-LURE COURSE & OBEDIENCE/ACIVITY CLASS Sponsored by: www.zenk9.org
Arizona’s scorching temperatures make it very difficult to exercise and socialize our dogs. WWW.ZENK9.ORG is sponsoring Arizona’s first indoor mini-lure course and obedience/ activity class. Enjoy the comforts of a 5000 sq. ft., air conditioned facility with all the bells and whistles. Your dog can run and play off leash while learning obedience and socialization skills in a highly distracting, but safe, environment. This 4-week class will include 15-20 minutes of obedience training (on leash), 15-20 minutes of scent work, agility, supervised socialization and/ or play time (off leash), and 15-20 minutes of lure coursing. Contact David Michael Sanders today at 602-489-8942 for details!
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
There are three ways you can get into Lure Coursing: 1. Lure Coursing for Fun and Exercise 2. Lure Coursing for Competition 3. Lure Coursing to Prepare for the Hunt

DISC DOGS Story by Kelli McCoy • Photography by Irene Rosenthal
Second only to the tennis ball, the Frisbee has been one of the most iconic dog toys for decades!
C
ountless hours have been spent throwing that flying disc for Rover to jump up and catch it mid-air. If you could ask some dogs, they’d say that hours spent chasing that Frisbee are some of the best times of their lives! That is why a fun and fast-paced dog sport was born of the popular canine pastime. Disc Dogs is the name; catching Frisbee is the game!
the dog are judged on a point basis. Let’s be honest, most of us would not be able to do all of the stunts, and will probably never make it to the IDC. However, we can still enjoy some time teaching our dogs to be disc dogs, and could even compete in different venues, like DiscDogs! There are several divisions that even novice dogs can compete in, meaning opportunities for everyone!
Wondering why the term disc is used instead of Frisbee? The word Frisbee is trademarked, so for now on, we will use the proper terminology. You can see disc-loving dogs competing and showing off their skills on television, most notably in the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge (IDC). You may have seen these high-flyin’, disc-loving dogs on television a time or two.
Playing disc with your dog is excellent exercise! Not only is it physical in the sense that your dog runs and leaps to catch the disc, but it is also mental exercise. Your dog needs to figure out which direction the disc is going and what the fastest way to catch it is, especially if you throw a disc like I do… all over the place! But hey, at least my dog has fun!
There are several different forms of competition. You may see some crazy stunts, like handlers laying on their backs, legs up in the air, with their dogs “Superman” style on the flats of their handler’s feet in a beg position. Then they catch the discs flying at them! In the IDC, both the handler and
First off, you need the right equipment. Regular Frisbees are usually made of a really brittle plastic, and if your dog is anything like mine, one crunch and it’s done. Not only do they not stand the test of the dog’s teeth; they break off into small, often sharp pieces that can be harmful. So it’s best to start with a more dog-friendly disc.
Teaching your dog to fetch the disc, bring it back, and drop the disc are the basic foundations for the game. You can always start with rolling the disc on its side on the ground so your dog chases it, as this helps to get your dog interested in the disc. Once your dog is doing that, then you can teach him to take the disc. Personally, I use “catch” when I want my pup, Nessy, to grab it in her mouth, but I know some use “take.” (Just remember, be consistent with your commands.) When Fluffy is taking the disc from your hand, then you can do a very small toss outward. Try not to toss directly into your dog’s face; that is never fun. As your dog is catching the disc, slowly increase the distance between your and your dog for your toss! Now that you have a good foundation of catching the disc, make sure you working on the retrieve portion by getting your dog to bring the disc back. Once they bring it back, you want to work on the drop. I use the word “done” when I want my dog to drop the toy in front of me, but I have heard “drop” and “out” used by different people. Again, it’s personal preference here. Remember to reward your dog when she does what you ask of her! Mark the behavior with a verbal “Yes! Good done!” any maybe a treat at first. The positive approach and fun atmosphere are a huge draw for dog parents with active pups! Sounds like a blast doesn’t it? Well then, what are you waiting for? Grab your dog-friendly disc and get outside! Give disc a try with your dog. You will have a blast watching your dog develop a great love of the sport. One of the best benefits is the increase in communication between you and your pup! There are also several local clubs that you can get involved with! Interested in knowing more?

WEAVE
WEAVE THROUGH MY LEGS
Story by Kelli McCoy • Photography by Dawn Hamm Photography
“Leg weave” is a fun little trick for you and your dog!
S
eeing your dog wiggle through your legs while you walk is a hoot. Keeping your balance is a little difficult at first, but once you and your pup figure out a good rhythm, it’s pretty easy! If your dog has some extra energy, then this is a good way to burn it. If you have already taught your dog the “Peek-a-boo” trick, this is the perfect next step. Grab those yummy treats and your dog, and let’s get started! When teaching this trick, it is a good idea to stay consistent with your starting leg so that your dog isn’t confused by what you’re asking her to do. Typically, dogs that are professionally trained heel at the left; so in this instance, we will start with our dog at our left and step the right foot out first. (If you have trained your dog to heel on the right, go ahead and use that side for this one!) Once
www.thebarkingcataz.com
we have taken our first step, you are going to take a hand with a yummy treat and lure your dog through. Once your dog is through, give the treat. Step forward with your other foot, and again use that treat to lure your dog through the other way. Give the treat once she is through. Remember, as we are teaching new tricks, we want to mark the new behavior with either a clicker or that verbal marker, “Yes!” Once you have done the trick a few times, go ahead and add in that verbal command; I have heard “weave” and “legs” used for this particular trick. Whatever you choose, just remember to stay consistent. Repeat this pattern a few times a day to establish the behavior. Eventually, your dog will know what you are asking, and you can treat your pup after every few weaves instead of each individual pass.
Sometimes dogs are a little resistant to going through your legs. Just try and remember that this is a more submissive position for the pup, and some are not keen on it at first! Go slow, and treat your dog for each little portion of going through your legs. I have tried to teach this trick to my Goldendoodle, Teddy, who happens to be a little too tall for me! He kept knocking me over! Keep in mind this isn’t a trick for every dog! We hope you had fun teaching your dog this new trick! Remember, any time spent with your dog is time well spent! Now get to work so you can show off the leg weave to friends and family!
