Go the Distance Book
Clean Run Productions LLC
Subtitle: A Workbook for Training Your Dog to Work Away
Authors: Bud Houston and Stacy Peardot with appendixes by Linda Mecklenburg
Soft cover, wire-o, 160 pages, 1999
Go the Distance is a carefully crafted plan for teaching dogs and handlers to work comfortably at a distance in agility. It is organized into progressive lessons which build upon fundamental skills. This book is not just for the intrepid Gamblers handler; the authors make the point early on that distance work is a key element of success in virtually any agility game.
Although Go the Distance is useful for all agility competitors who want to work on distance skills, it includes sections designed to provide the agility instructor with a clearly written reference for teaching the basics of distance work in a class setting. The lesson plans are well organized and include attention to the administration of the training program as well as weekly homework assignments for students taking the course. And while the book is divided neatly into eight clear lesson plans, it contains a virtual overabundance of exercises which can be used and reused and expanded upon.
Go the Distance includes appendixes by Linda Mecklenburg that cover teaching your dog a Turn command (180-degree turn), teaching Left and Right directional commands, and more.
