Developing Jumping Skills book by Linda Mecklenburg is now in stock and
available for shipment from Clean Run.

To be successful in the sport of agility, the dog must be a skillful jumper. There is no doubt that Linda has trained many talented jumping dogs. Through many years of observation and testing, she has developed an eye for proper jumping technique and how to achieve it. Linda developed this jumping program to help others lay a proper foundation for their dogs’ jumping skills. In Developing Jumping Skills, she provides a logical progression of jump training that is suitable for all dogs competing in agility. But this book is about even more than jumping; Linda increases your awareness of your dog’s natural responsiveness to your body language and the effect it has on his jumping. Throughout the program, she teaches you how to maintain consistency so that the skills learned will easily transition into a logical handling system that capitalizes on your dog’s innate responsiveness to your body language and that can ultimately be used to your advantage on course. Note: This book is a compilation of updated versions of Linda’s jumping articles that originally appeared in Clean Run magazine from January through September 2006. The book also includes an updated version of her jumping trajectory article from the Clean Run special focus issue on jumping as well as a previously unpublished article on leading legs.

World Champion Jenny Damm, Cruft Agility winner, Nordic Cup Winner, Dania Cup Winner, among other titles, has joined Agility In Motion to make her ideas available to the world !

Jenny developed a very simple Handling System, easy to understand and train, based on natural responses she got from her dogs when trying new things. Her clear cues and consistent tools, create confident dogs and handlers.

* “Handling Foundation”* DVD contains the 3 most important things in Agility: Relationship, Motivation and Foundation training. Jenny explains her Handling System and how to train each forward and turning cue, from groundwork to using equipment.

*”Advanced Handling”* DVD explains how Jenny combines and balances her forward and turning cues to execute handling maneuvers, and then how to put all together to run sequences and courses.

World Champion Jenny Damm demonstrates the exercises with inexperienced as well as experienced dogs, of various sizes and motivation levels.
