I trained my sheltie’s body awareness with a PVC ladder (along with other props) and it really improved his proprioception; he now has perfect body awareness! Yay for ladders!

Yikes! Your little corgi jumps off the A-frame contact? Guess I’m lucky my corgi and my husband’s Scotty just run all the way down.

When we first took agility lessons that instructor wanted everyone to do two-on,two-off, which I though would be hard on my corgi back — so I never tried that. Fortunately our current instructor says the running contact is fine for the long-backed dogs.

I assume you’ve tried setting up a jump bar not as a jump) at the end of the A-Frame set up so its in the way if they try to jump off and forcing the dog to run under the jump bar –and down the contact yellow. This is what we did after the first time my corgi tried to take off too early.

Good luck on the Q’s

We need an A-frame. I’ve got a serious contact jumper, but he’s a short/long dog (corgi) and the steep angle of the A-frame makes it a hard stop. We seriously need to practice decent without bailing, so he can Q already. Everything else is just about perfect, but he always NQ’s for not hitting the contact on the frame.
