This week's integrated advanced course 🤩👀

31/07/2024

For the few morning classes I've actually held this week (afternoons have been postponed due to the heat)...

This week I've designed a beginners course to test handlers' ability to run a course first time in full. An advanced course has been integrated and will be posted later this week 👀

Yesterday's workshop courses 🤩

Great day and some lovely handling! Less technical than usual, giving the dogs (and handlers) a chance to really open up!

A beautiful day for this month's workshop 😍🙌🏼

Let's talk about option tunnels...

A number in the centre of a tunnel indicates the choice of either end of course.

These are rarely done and I believe it's for the following reasons: it's difficult to achieve a safe and interesting setup; course designers often want handlers to run specific routes; appropriate trade-offs are definitely hard to design.

Trade-off is the name of the game!

A well designed option tunnel should have a trade-off between speeds, distances, difficulty, or any combination thereof.

In this example, the ⚫black route⚫ offers an easy tunnel entry, a slightly awkward exit to #5, and a longer overall route.

The 🟢green route🟢 offers a difficult tunnel entry, but a much smoother direct route to #5, and a shorter route.

On the ground, the 🟢green route🟢 is 3m shorter on dog's path - which I estimated to offer a 0.5s gain. In testing, a medium dog gained 0.6s and a large dog gained 0.5s.

I do think option tunnels are super interesting and should definitely be used more often! 🤩

Turning out to be a nice day at the office 👌🏼😊

Breaking a habit and posting this week's course plan at the beginning rather than the end of the week! 🤩

Thought I'd give you all a peek so you can start thinking this course and its options through; before I do a deep dive later in the week! 👀

Lessons all done and a new agility course set up for next week 👌🏼🤩

This week's course is definitely one of the trickiest we've set this year! 👀

An in depth look at some of the handling zones on this week's advanced course 👀🔍

Thea getting a lot of work this week 🤩💪🏼 Smashed out this beautiful run on the advanced course!

Course designing and lesson planning is definitely the biggest hidden work behind the scenes here at Insight Dogs 💙💛💚 Every week, I design a new course to train and teach on - considering the drills, sequences and lessons that I can get out of each setup. 📝🧐 Most weeks, I also design a nested course within the main setup - allowing me to have a full course for both advanced and beginners levels. When I then include 2-3 workshop courses per month, I probably design around 130 courses in a year!! 🤪 Where I get my creativity and imagination from... I'll never know 😂 #coursedesign #job #work #hidden #skill #dogagility #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dogs #dogsofinstagram #trainer #designer

When I say "homework makes a difference" this is exactly what I mean 🤩 Bertie has been training weaves for only 4 weeks... Practicing with my guidance almost every day at home with updates every week at his session. Now he's consistently weaving and ready to sequence! 💪🏼
